The roads and footpaths of life

Well, the most important events in my life were my birthdays. These are days when I celebrate with my family and friends and we have a great time. Well, not all of my birthdays were great, mainly because of my relatives – the ones I do not see very often and do not like.

My life so far has been quite exciting. I have had my ups and downs and I am not the only one in the world with problems. I think the biggest problem in my life has been school. I can admit that I am the laziest person you can meet. But I know that I will have to change that soon. Right now I am still living with my parents but when I find a job and when I have to start earning my own money I will have to push that laziness aside.

I think the fair period for a person to live is to about seventy, but this opinion changes with age, that is the problem. I think that anyone with the age of seventy would want to live for at least a hundred years if not for ever.

The most important event in my life was my birth because I made my parents very happy.

After that my life was sometimes exciting and sometimes not. For example elementary school was very exciting because I had many friends and a lot of free time. When I got older my parents gave me work that I had to do every day and my life wasn't that exciting any more. But now these jobs are routine in my life and my life is exciting again.

If I could choose how long I would like to live I would live as long as to be the oldest living man on Earth.

I really like my life. I find it exciting because it is not the same. It changes every second. I have had some good and some bad experience.

In my life the most important event was when I was confronted with death. I did not know what it was like until my grandmother died. I was about five years old. I thought that she could return whenever she wanted to. But on that day she disappeared for ever. I was very sad because I loved her very much.

This has somehow influenced my life. I wish to live so long I could return the favour and chance that my parents gave to me when I was born. And I also wish that my death wouldn’t be painful and people would remember me as a good person.

If I had to pick one of my life's important events I would certainly choose high school. For me it is important because from that point on I started doing something for myself and started the foundation of what I would like to do in my life. And these days you can't get a nice job without proper education.

Now that I am learning and educating myself all days, I think that my life has become a little bit boring. Before, when I was in primary school, I had a more exciting life, because I had more time to do all the exciting things in life.

In some way it is not so great to live such an exciting life because it can be very stressful and stress leads to a shorter life. I would, however, like to live long because I would like to experience lots of life's great events.

I don't think my life has been very exciting. But there are still some events in my life that you could say are important.

Some people would say that birth was the most important moment in their lives, but frankly, every one was born, that is why it is not important for me. For me a very important event was when I went on holidays with my older cousin to our aunt and family in Cannes in France. And because my parents had to work and did not come along I was able to be more independent and had a great two weeks vacation from their constant whining.

But I think that there are other important events in my life; this is just one of hundreds and because I plan to live a long life there will be many more, the only problem will be if I will be able to remember them all.
