I’d like to describe an occasion when I lost something which is important to me. This was a gift for my birthday. This gift is given by my best friend and it was a bracelet. This bracelet was a symbol of our band and our bond and it reminds me of our close friendship when I wore it. But unfortunately I lost it. This incident happened when I was on a family trip to the beach. And I lost it when we played volleyball. I took the bracelet off and put it in my bag to keep it safe. But in the excitement of the game I just forgot to zip my bag and I didn’t notice when it was lost. Even though when I realized it lost we just searched everywhere at the beach. But it was too late. It was impossible to find the bracelet in the sand. And when I realized that I felt blue because it was the most important thing to me. Even though this experience was tough it taught me the importance of taking care of value things.
