It could be said that our lives are made of moments in the same way a movie 
is made frames. Some moments are snapshots or pictures in our memories that 
remind us of who we were, who we are, and who we hope to become.

Choose a frame from the movie of your life that you can vividly recall and 
show what you did, saw, smelled, felt, thought, said, and what others said to 
transport the reader to that moment. 

    The sun was very bright, the sky was bright blue, the trees were very green and the grass was freshly cut. I was really determined to ride my bike without 
training wheels. I remember seeing my older neighbors riding without them. I 
marched up to my garage, with fire in my eyes, and ripped off the training 
wheels off of my electric blue bike. I was determined to conquer my fear of 
falling off my bike. It only took one try to finally learn how to ride without 
training wheels, but that was the most intense 20 seconds of my life. All I had 
to do was believe I could do it, take my foot off of the ground, and petal. I 
never even asked for help, I just did it. The wind rushing through my hair and
a  smile of victory was shown big from ear to ear. I could now finally play with 
the big kids.

Richard Parkes Cordock once said, “You must expect failure as part of your journey of success, failure and success go hand in hand, you cannot have one without the other.”
    This quote is inspirational because it is basically telling me that it’s
okay to have failure to reach your goal in life and to be successful in life. It
motivates me because it’s okay to fail, but if you pick yourself back up then
you will be one step closer. Many times in my life have I failed and gave up,
but recently I have been standing back up on my two feet and doing things in
order to have success in my future. Back in freshman and sophomore year, I would really not understand school because I didn’t really care about what happened. College was so far away that back then it wasn’t even a thought. Now, it is
almost a reality because it’s right around the corner. I picked up my grades and
was on the honor roll all of junior year, and aspiring to do the same in senior
year.

5.Beavis and Butthead: Do America
6.Any of the Rugrats movies
7.Any of the Charlie’s Angels movies
8.Bounty Hunter

My favorite movie is Thirteen because it has a true meaning to it, which is
  that you can’t trust everyone, and your family will always be there for you in
  the end. The movie is about a girl who is thirteen and she spirals into a world
  of drugs and sex, all because of her friend. She goes from being an A+ student
  to almost failing everything.
