If you could pick a pinnacle moment in your life what would it be? Is it the day your baby brother or sister was born? Or when you had your first crush? Was it when you lost your virginity? Maybe the day you got your university acceptance, better yet: your graduation? The list is endless. Sometimes, you will never truly know the value of a moment until it has become a memory.
