Good things and bad things happen to all of us in our lifetime. Though we always try to see things as good or bad, there is almost always a gray area. The rollercoaster between happy, sad, pleasant, and terrible moments in our lives is what helps us grow and mature as human beings. However, there is always something that marks us for life, something that impacts us in such a way that it may influence the path we take in our lives afterward. What has been the best thing that has happened to you in your life? Why do you believe that it is the best thing that has happened to you?

Feel free to write your experiences the way you wish. You can use your own ideas, or use the questions below as a guide. In the event you use a question, you should only answer that question. You may also answer several questions in separate entries and allow us to choose the best one for the book. Whatever your preference, only a maximum of 2,000 characters will be published.
