Worst experience of my life ever. My best friend Lucy and I bought tickets to a Justin Bieber concert because it was our biggest dreams to meet Justin Bieber. When we entered the concert area, we were filled with excitement as we thought we were going to meet Justin Bieber in real life. The place was packed. My best friend and I struggled to get in the front. We got pushed by everyone that we tried to pass. When we finally reached the front of the crowd, I could see him for the first time. It was the middle of his concert and everything was going great. The music was just like the recorded version, we were at the front and lastly, we got to see Justin Bieber in person. But in just a blink of an eye, everything went downhill. The stand that held the lights up ended up falling on the stage and everything was in chaos. The loud slam of the lights hitting the stage shocked the entire crowd. Justin Bieber was taken off stage and everyone was being escorted out of the concert. My best friend and I both just cried because our biggest dreams just got crushed by light stands. When we got home, we were still crying and that was the worst experience of my life.

 It was Christmas Eve. My whole family was over, my father being the oldest out of his siblings. Even my grandparents came over for the holidays. As my mom was preparing our dinner, me and my family were talking together. My sister interrupted our conversations by saying "Let's Play a Game." We weren't sure on which game would be the best to play, having our grandparents over. But in the end, we decided we would play a game that my family made up. The game was to take turns as one person would grab an item closest to them and then act out a character, whether it be a policeman or a cowboy. It was my grandma's turn and we were all ready to see her act. As she looked around to chose an item, she looked over to her left and picked up the fake pistol that I got for my Holloween Costume. She picked it up and started making the sound effects to go along with a character. It was hilarious as no one could figure out what it was. When we figured it was taking too long, we asked her who she was and she said she was acting as me. Everyone laughed because we knew she was talking about when I went around making sound effects on Holloween. As the laughing ended, my mom came in with all the food and we dined.

My whole family was in the living room. The audio from the TV filled the entire house. My younger sister was playing with her little dolls on the floor making sound effects as she would make pretend. My mom was making some cookies for us to eat as a snack later on. The room did feel vacant because of the absence of my dad. He had been gone for a few weeks not telling us the exact details, he just left for his job. While we all continued to do our own things, we heard our door creak. Soon followed by loud footsteps, My mom walked towards the door first, making sure it wasn't a burglar or whatnot. Because she did not return for a while, I dragged my sister along to go to the door to check it out. That was when I saw my father. For not seeing him for so long I felt the need to greet him with the largest hug ever. I could feel his stiff uniform as I put my arms around him. I could also feel his body shaking although I wasn't sure if he was crying or laughing. We all stayed silent just remaining in that position for at least 10 more minutes.
