1. MY MEMOIR BY: EMMA LUCKEN Birthdays a time to Remember

2. Introduction I have had 9 birthdays almost 10. Birthdays are a time that I admire because you get to be with family. All of my family comes. It is also a remarkable time because you get to be with friends. I love having an amazing time with friends!

3. Middle Paragraph One birthday I remember, is my 6 th. It was my Golden Birthday, because my Birthday is December 6 th. I had a family party. We had a great time. Then there was my 7 th Birthday I went to Goldfish Swim School. We swam with floats and flippers. I got an elephant stuffed animal and art supplies. My friends and I had a remarkable time playing, swimming, and splashing about!

4. Middle Paragraph My 8 th Birthday I went to Chicago to see my Aunt. I stayed at her house. We had a wonderful time. My 9 th Birthday was so much fun! We made pillows and little penguins. I had a lot of friends over. I got a book called The Doll People and the meanest doll, a Target gift card, pajamas, Littlest Pet Shop toys, and some other things. It is truly fun to be with friends.

5. Conclusion Well my story is coming to a end. Like I said in the beginning I will have almost ten birthdays. I hope that my 10 th Birthday will be as delightful as all my other B-days. But Birthdays are not for the presents or the cake, it is about being with family and friends.
