"My happiest moment"

Haiden's happiest moment is when she's with her sister.

By Sara S. from Zuni High School in New Mexico

“The most happiest moment of my life is probably when my little sister was born. I say this because she is what brought me and my dad’s side closer. I never really use to talk or have contact with them before but after she was born, it was a whole different story.

She brings happiness to my life each and every second I’m with her. There is never a dull moment with her and she can light up my day no matter the condition. I’m not sure if I have one favorite memory with her, I cherish all of them.”
