"It's a Wonderful Life" are true stories about events that took place in my life that will be with me forever. I can remember when I was a little boy, I played my first game of baseball. My grandfather practiced with me the whole week before the game. Catching and throwing that baseball seemed like a basketball in my little hands.

I can remember asking my mother for the car keys so that I could take my road test. I detected a small smile under her rolling eyes and stone hard frown. My mom understood how she felt when she got her license. It meant freedom and responsibility for someone she raised from a baby. I can still remember mom saying, "You damn kids grow up too fast" as a single tear rolled down her face. That night I didn't even leave the house. My mother and I talked for hours about how it was when she was young. It was an enjoyable evening just talking to her. It was a wonderful life.

My life is not over. The life I live is far from over. I don't regret any of the things that I've said or done because they are what make up my life. The dreams my parents have for me live on in my heart everyday along with my own. It doesn't matter if those dreams become reality, for I know I've put my best effort forward and that my dreams will live on in my children. That's what will make my life truly wonderful.
