My Puppy,

There are few moments in a person’s life that can be considered life defining.For me my life defining moments are not all the same. While I have great moments and simple moments, many are so incredible that I could not begin to describe them. However there is one moment in particular that is describable and very "life defining". It was in the middle of forth grade, my life was headed in a direction that was not easy for a typical 4th grade kid. I was slacking off in my work and my life was just not headed in the direction that i wanted to. I thought that it would take a miracle for me to get back on track. I was about 9 and I came home from school that day. I’m not sure what was weighing me down, but I knew that something was dragging my spirit. Little did I know that it was all about to change, I walked through the door and entered my house to find my mom and my brother talking in the kitchen. I made it about half way to the couch when something attacked my leg. To my surprise it was a new puppy. This puppy was no ordinary puppy it was a miniature poodle. It had a golden stripe down it's back. I was a bit surprised, but all in all I found this puppy to be a great friend. Throughout the years this little puppy has become a great object of my affection, she has helped me out of many problems with friendship and stress. I have always found that I can talk to her no matter what happens and she always listens. While it is true a dog is man’s best friend, this one has become like the sister I have always wanted in my life instead of a dreadful brother.

Lead 3: as I walked up to the top ofmy steps i told myself put a smile on and you will be fine
