My Defining Moment Essay

“OMG THIS CAN'T BE” i mumbled to myself as i scanned the crowds for my dad. My feet started to move back and forth in the huge hallway with my body shaking so fast. I knew i was lost,i knew i was wrong about the thought that this day was going to be perfect but admitting all of this would completely kill me. Sweat started to drip down my face and i felt my stomach scream that this is going to get worse. I ignored the feeling You can't think your everyday is going to be perfect i thought to myself and let some hope inside me.

So many thoughts ran through my head but the one i really cared about was how am i supposed to get out of this place? Am i really lost is he going to leave without me? I plopped down on the bench were i had lost my dad and started to fish for answers. Nothing came to me except the thought that when i first landed in front of this huge building it had been so welcoming so beautiful and all the cool dinosaur bones and ancient artifacts and how awesome photographer i had been but that one second changed it all, the moment i stopped to drink the one tiny drop of water.

Staring at the crowds of people made me realize everyone one so happy, having a perfect day, everyone but me i was the sad, lost puppy standing alone in the crowds of happiness looking for my owner.

Why me? That thought started swirling around my head.
“The museum will be closing in fifteen minutes so you must be heading outside in sometime” i heard a thick voice. a tall woman was standing in front of me with big round glasses and most of her short curly hair were dangling in front of her face which made her even more creepy. The words that flew out of her mouth made me jump up from the bench causing my heart to jump into my throat.

.
“Oh” was all i managed holding back my tears. Her lips curled up in a creepy smile and left me standing there with my eyes wide open.
As the time passed the people in the museum got less and less but i still had a little hope inside me that they will come back even the world seemed to busy to notice me. That made more and more tears pile up inside my eyes. Did they already leave without me? No this can't be. A sudden jerk made made fall back on the wooden bench it hurt but not more than that thought. I held my knees up and buried my face in my knees and tears started rushing out of my eyes like a waterfall.
I sat there sobbing for another five minutes as the shiny black clock on the wall kept ticking with every minute passing by. i. A soft hand touched my back really gently like it was unsure that it was me who it wanted to communicate with. Oh not another one of those ladies my brain send a message warning me the avoid them. “OH i am just heading out” i said without popping my head up.
“Where have you been, Ayesha i was looking for you all over this place’’ that familiar voice made the short hair at the back of my neck stand up. I quickly put my head up i saw the face i had been wanting to see for hours. The expression on my dads face changed from the narrow eyes and wrinkled forehead to confused face.
Without saying anything i dashed towards him and pulled us into a tight hug. I will never leave you and I will be more careful next time and never lose you. My silent voice inside my head told him as we untangled from our tight hug. ‘’ i love you daddy, i'm so glad i found you’’ those words made him smile. Then there was another announcement warning us and i didn't wanted to be stuck in here forever. ‘’we better get going’’ he told me and we both walked towards the door with the only smile i ever had in hours.
