The question is exactly that. With the year winding down and Christmas and New Years approaching, what are some moments or some things that have happened to you in 2010 that really impacted you?
For instance for me it would be something completely random that happened at a UPS Store. I held the door open for an old man, he was walking really slowly with a cane so I had to stand there for a while and help him out. The guy at the counter looked at me like I was crazy, I don't know why but by appearance people assume I just don't care at all. After I held the door open for the guy he turned to me and he said, "You know what, your a pretty good kid" and then he handed me a small bible out of his pocket and said, "This really helped me out, it will help you out later in life too."
This was completely random and I had never seen this guy before and I never saw him again after this.
So now that that's done what about you?

For me the worst moment would have to be that my cat that I've had since I was 7 died. My kitty died because it was left outside all night. It was in the summer. My cat though was an outside cat. But every time it would rain and snow or any of that we let it in. Back to the story though. I woke up one morning to let my cat back in. Then I found it just dead in the neighbors driveway. It was really sad to see that happen to my cat of 8 years.

A bad experience would have been the car accident that I occasionally talked about briefly here, where two of my best friends since elementary school were killed, and the other two were greatly injured, but survived. It taught me that The Personal Fable Syndrome is real and that it can seriously cloud your reasoning, even fatally.

A good experience would have to be All State Honor Band (it was last year but *nyeh!*). Sure, you can listen to any band or any song and feel the music, but it takes being in the band and playing the music to really feel. It taught me that I do have talents and that I can make an impact in my future if I work for it. Seriously, it was tough even getting in the spot I had. You don't have to be Trumpet 1-A to be considered good. I was Trumpet 2-A, but there were 5 1st trumpets in my group. My music wasn't as intense, so I could feel comfortable and move with the song. Man, that night was more magical than Disney World.

The best thing that has happened all year, occurred on January 1. That's when I came back to New Zealand. By far, that is the best thing that has happened to me.

I need to give more thought to come up with a worst moment.

My worst and best moment of this year is when I left Canada to come back and live in Lebanon my homeland. It's the best moment because I came back to my home country and I saw my aunts uncles and cousins again and because a get a extra month of summer vacation then you Americans and Canadians :P. It's also the worst moment, because I had to leave all my friends, and I have to learn Arabic. Luckily they have a special Arabic program at school for arabic n00bs like me.

Well the most tragic thing that happened to me was probably my Girlfriend and Me were Mugged in some random alleyway ,they had guns , and i was larger than them (I play Water-polo) , and i could easily beat them up , but i wasn`t feeling in the mood for a bullet ( My dad has some guns from when he was in the army, i can tell real guns from fakes).
The best was when i actually met my Girlfriend xD

The worst thing about my year was when my friend and I were having a huge fight over a video game I let him borrow. The best thing was when I switched schools from a really bad one to a better one..
