Two years ago, I had my 16th birthday. I had a big party at home with my friends. It was very special for me. My friends were so kind. I had a very good time with them. This experience was unforgettable. Firstly, they gave me a big bear, and I will explain why I'm so delighted with that. It was my dream. I had a lot of photos on Pinterest that I saved, and they saw them. They all knew that I wanted it. I really wanted it, and they surprised me with that. Secondly, my birthday was on the 11th of October at 12 a.m. They came to my home to surprise me with big balloons, fireworks, and other surprises. They gave me those. For someone, it may seem insignificant or too paradoxical, but for me, it was very important.
