I’d like to talk about one of the most memorable events that I celebrated about two years ago. That was a grand dinner party that to mark my achievement as a salutatorian in my high school entrance exam. I could say that it’s my style meant a lot to me and I think that it deserved to have a special celebration. It’s also an opportunity for me to share joy with people closer to me. So because I wanted to have the right atmosphere in the event, I spent quite a lot of time on planning every detail of the party. And moreover, I wanted to keep the evening intimate as much as possible so I only invited my family, a court and also some of my relatives and a handle of my close friends. It was fascinating and good to be surrounded. I wanted to be surrounded by people who support you throughout your studies which make the event more meaningful. So on that night, everything was stunning. The decorations, the endorsements were decorated and designed elegantly. The dim lines also added to the cozy ambience of the party. We also had some delicious multi-quarts meals and also at the same time there were moments of cozy and sincere conversations. I also had prepared a short speech to express my gratitude towards people who had been a part of my journey. It was such a joy to celebrate something personal and special. In retrospect, it was not about the time, the event, the academic acquisitions of mine, but it was also a chance to deepen the relationship with people who I shared with. I definitely would appreciate these celebrations as one of the most remarkable highlights in my life.
