Ella loves music. Her favorite kind of music is rock and roll. She is constantly listening to music on her radio, and her computer is always playing music in her room. Her birthday is coming up in a few weeks and she really wants to see a concert to celebrate it. She has been fantasizing about it daily. Ezra, her boyfriend, has decided to surprise her with tickets for her birthday. 

Ezra told Ella that he would pick her at eight tomorrow night. Ella replied that she will be ready by then and asked him what will they be doing. Ezra said to Ella that they are going to Ella's favorite restaurant and a surprise for her. She thought its great and guess that the surprise would be a piece of jewelry or something impractical. 

The following day, Ezra arrived at eight to take Ella to diner. They ate at her favorite restaurant and as they were paying the bill Ezra gave her an envelope. Ezra told her to open it. Ella thanked Ezra. She opened the envelope and found two front row tickets to her favorite concert. Ella was very surprise.

They left the restaurant and left for the concert. Ella was so excited. They both had a great time at the concert. The band played all of her much-loved songs. Ella and Ezra decided that it was the best birthday celebration she had ever had.

The story is about a man who isn't in the spirit of Christmas. One day , he decided to go to a toy store . While at the store he saw a little boy, who was desperately wanted to buy the doll but he did not had enough money to buy it. He was also curious to whom the doll for . After he asked the little boy, he was very surprised and his heart was touched by the little boy story. He secretly helped out the boy by adding his money, so he could buy the doll. He never thought that the little boy care so much for his family, especially his sister who had just passed away . He felt very sorry for the little boy because Christmas is a celebration that we celebrate with the ones we loved and family members, not for a funeral. There are many lessons that can be found in this story, there are sympathy towards other.

6th Reflection

Before I start writing on the very thought that ‘if I could turn back time I would have taken or what things I would like to set right’ I would like to point to a fact that there comes a time in ones life that he begins to think not only about his or her future but also about his or her past and how it moulded the way he thinks and its impact the events had on his decisions. On the other hand some people take their decisions on their past experience and the way things turned out to be. Sometimes people totally depend on their gut feelings or intutions. Like wise the everone has priorities in life which are according to their own perceptions and feelings and then they base their decisions on winning or losing , achieving or not achieving, victory or defeat, or success or failure. In short the decisions men make in their life more or less, is most of the time based on the above mentioned factors. And when things don’t turn out as planned they usually result in demoralizing situations or sometimes even regrets. However this may not be the case always because of the given situation at the time. Some decisions are perfectly valid and rational given the situation. But this dosent change the fact that a time once passed is always past.

Altough we cant turn back hands of time, we can definatly put light on the things/ decisions we could have made In a much beter way. Some people have no regrets from their decisions they took in their past which profoundly affected them. I am one of them. On the other hand I also accept the fact that no one is perfect and I am no exception. I remember being a naughty child, having disregard of any type of responsibility whatso ever, studies being on top of the list. They say don’t waste time. I said I don’t waste time I simply do gain other benefits from it. Again comes the importance of setting right priorities and I was not up to it. But sooner or later one realizes the importance of time and making good use of it.
