A happy moment
(Sent by Jesús Fernandez, a student from Las Palmas, Spain)

One of the happy moments that I can remember is when my parents gift gave me the ticket to France and London for my 16th birthday.

I remember that on that day I had an exam of math as the first lesson. That morning my parents didn't bring me anything to the desk like other years but I it didn't matter to me so much because I was more preoccupied with the exam. The rest of the lessons were like a normal day except because all my friends sang to me once again the happy birthday song.

When I arrived home my mother hold me and said to me 'Congratulations', but nothing special. I started to feel strange. I didn't think that my parents didn't give me any present but I didn't say anything. After we had lunch my mother told me that she had a special dessert for me. At that moment I felt nervous.

Then, my mother went to her bedroom and brought me an envelope. I didn't know what it was. I opened it quickly, and then I saw it, the ticket to France and London. I was amazed I didn't know what to do. When I realized that I had that ticket I hold my parents and I jumped.

Definitely, this was the best happy moment of my life that I can remember and one that I won't forget in my life.
