In the novel Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens the main character Pip lives in a semi-normal family where he is brought up "by hand". In the quote Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one day, Pip was referring to his beginning day at Miss Havishams where he was asked to play. Without this memorable day Pip wouldn't have met Estella and practically nothing would have happened that has actually occurred in the novel since then. Miss Havisham was once heartbroken and so she wants so take revenge on pip by making him fall in love(at the age of 7-ahem...you should think that's a little weird i hope) so that then she can leave him. Pip has looked over his cruel plan of hers and continues wanting to go back to see Estella even if she might deny it when he was asked.
Probably one of the most altering days was when I went to my first Skyhawks soccer camp. I was about 5, so I don't remember that much. This was the main starting point for my soccer career and I've been playing ever since on numerous different teams. Here, I also met one of my best friends who now lives in Burlington, Vermont. This event in my life has influenced me and I went to those camps for many years to come. Besides the fact that I was the only kid there my age-not to mention my height, The main things I remembered were that we were at Yauger park and at lunch we had a contest to see who could stuff the most warheads in their mouths at a time-I won. Hopefully that winning streak will continue on in my soccer career! (And in case you were wondering, my capacity at that time was 9 warheads-for 17 seconds. Just try and beat that...)
