Memorable Events

I've only lived for 15 years so far, but there are events that I will never ever forget. I remember when I was a kid, at only around the age of 2 years old, I came back to Taiwan for a brief visit for my grandparents since i was living in Canada at that time. It was 9/21 that night, when I was watching TV, wide awake, because of the jet lag. Then suddenly everything started to shake. At first, I thought I was just dizzy due to the lack of sleep I was getting, but when the paintings that were hanging on the wall started to fall off, I figured that it was an earthquake, and it was quite big. At that time, the building that we were living in weren't as stable as the modern ones, so when we tried to run out of the door, some of the doors have already changed their shape because of the earthquake and we couldn't open it. I was so scared and kept crying because things were falling everywhere but we couldn't get out of the building. Finally after my father kept throwing himself onto the door, the door fell off and we all ran out. I would never ever forget that. The other memory that I would never forget is when the most important person in my life at that time has left me and all the promises that person gave me was broken in only a short little week. I guess that it was because that person didn't put me as the most important person while I already did. Although that made me really sad for a long time, I then later on learned a lot of lessons like to not trust people's promises since anyone can say those promises and beautiful words to make you happy, but barely anyone can fulfill their promises. I will never forget this because it hurt me a lot, yet let me grow up a lot within a small time period. Another event that I'll never forget is how when our previous president got sent into jail because of stealing a lot of money from Taiwan citizens. So many of my family members were so angry that they went to go to Taipei for the protesting. My brother and I of course got dragged there too. There's actually nothing special about it but I won't forget about it since it was really annoying but I met many funny people that hated him a lot. Some people even make balloons that looked like him and others were hitting and popping them. These fun things made this even memorable.
