Memories

People have all sought of memories. There are things we just remember for one day and is gone the next day. These memories can include remembering a conversation with a friend early in the day, and forget about it the next day. Then there the memories that last a life time. It can be your first home run, your wedding, or a death in the family.

But what makes our memories last a life time. People tend to remember something that means a lot to them. It can be an event that happened to us that made a significant impact on our lives. These memories can be the greatest moments in our lives such as; winning the championship or graduating college. Finally there is the other memories, the sad memories. The death of a family member can cause someone to recall that person's life.

Our memories can also be a powerful tool that can work against us. For example: On 9/11 many people witnessed the events that unfolded in New York. People saw horrific things. Many people watched love ones die. After that day, some people can't sleep because of their memories of what happen on that day. It is hard to forget such a horrific event, no matter how much you try to forget.
