Me
9-11
It was a September morning.  I thought that it was going to be just a regular day, but I was definitely wrong.  After it happened, all of us students were brought together.  I was very difficult for us to understand why someone would do this; it seemed like the teachers were also very uncomfortable.  But remembering back to that time, it seems that there was much more hype afterwards.  Was the government involved?  Was there a bigger conspiracy?  The point is this was an important news story in my life because thousands of innocent people were killed because a group of terrorists were mad at this country.


Election 2008
With months of anticipation, all I heard was "change, change, change."  The November day finally came; it was clear that we would have the first African American president.  This, to me, was the story.  Even though I believe that his policies have not worked out, and his approval rating are falling.  He was the first to break the color barrier in the White House.  Even though he is arguably not the best president, he is the first and only African American president.


Steelers won two Super Bowls
There is was; I was actually there.  In Detroit, I saw the Steelers and the Seahawks battle it out for Super Bowl XL.  It was loud; it was yellow, and the Steelers had one.  Finally, after all of my life of rooting and cheering the team that I had rooted for won.  A few years later, it happened again.  Even though I was not there, I was watching the whole game, and when Holmes made that catch, my house went crazy.  Perhaps the most memorable moments of my entire life came from those two days in February.

Dad
Man on the Moon
It was the first mission of this magnitude ever commenced, and to this day, it has rarely been repeated.  It was an achievement for both man and science.  It was July 20, 1969.  The perhaps most important event in the history of mankind.  We as humans were able to walk on other surfaces, and explore places unknown.  This one event should help pave the way for more interplanetary travel and exploration.
9-11
 That one September morning changed everything.  In one day, it was gone, those two towers were gone, and our sense of safety and superiority were gone.  The effect that the one event had set things into perspective.  We were all now scared; we did not have a sense of being king anymore.  Our sense of hope almost all but shut down.  We needed a bounce back, and that is what happened.  We as a country were able to come back and work ourselves up once more.

Bears won Super Bowl
After 21 years of waiting, it happened.  It was the first team he started rooting for:  The Chicago Bears.  After many many years of waiting, the Bears won the Super Bowl in blow-out fashion.  The Patriots did not stand a chance against Dikta and the Bears.  The parade in the streets afterwards were perhaps even more amazing rushing through the streets of Chicago chanting for the Bears.  Event the Super Bowl Shuffle was a great part of the win.  So, when the Bears finally won, my dad and along with the entire city of Chicago was ecstatic with joy.
