A sport event I have attended I like speaking about this topic‚ because I am a huge tennis fan. My most memorable match was in the last year‚ the Roland Garros final.

A Memorable Event in My Life My father died at the young age of 48. He was my pillar‚ my hope and he was the one that helped me not be scared of the future. I was ten years old when my dad died and I felt like I had lost everything. I became unhappy‚ unwilling to talk ‚ and most of all almost suicidal.
