I don’t really have a big event that shaped me as a person but now I know where to go if I ever get lost in Las Vegas. When I was little we would always use to visit my relatives that lived in Vegas. We’d usually either stay at the house or do something or we’d go to the casino. I remember I was 9 years old; my older cousins took me to the arcade in the casino. The Arcade was pretty big then from what I remember plus really loud. My cousins all ran off in different directions leaving me with my cousin Eric; at the time he was to occupied playing some racing game and beating other kids at games to watch me so I wondered off out in the arcade for a while looking for my other cousins. When I came back to where my cousin was he was gone and so where the others. They didn’t bother looking for me and they just left. Soon after I found out they were with our parents soon after and they got in trouble for coming back without me. So I wondered off into the casino looking for a security guard crying because they left me there by myself in the arcade. This has shaped my life to never wonder off and I also learned a good quality of learning to find my way to places that I need to go to, or when I need to find someone I know.

I liked your reflection it was very familiar. When I was younger like around 9 to I got lost but at Knotts, so I can relate. It is scary being lost I cried like a little baby too. I feel bad because your cousins left you; I hope they got in trouble. We all get lost when we are younger I think it does change who we are today.

I liked your reflection, it was short and sweet. Your cousins reminds me of mine, with that said they left me alone to. I didn't wonder though. I had a flashback of reading "Funny in Farsi" when Firoozeh got lost and found the "Disney Police". I am so happy though that your cousins got punished mine didn't. I would of liked to read more on what your emotions were like, scared frightened, excited, in aw? I didn't really feel in the momment of being lost.
