Birthdays are special because it's the day that we enter the world and it is celebrated by almost everyone on the planet. It's a day when we become one year older and have grown a little taller, learned a little more about things and feel a little more special than any other day. The day that I was born is very important because many special events took place on that day all over the world and many famous people share that day which is my birthday, July 20th.

I was born on July 20th, 1998 in Richmond, VA according to my mother, Carol Lawrence I was born six weeks early, my mom expected me to be born on September 3rd, 1998. She had been up all night labor pain, but waited until morning to go to the hospital so that my brother and sister could be taken care of before she left for the hospital. My mother told me that she was in labor for 15 hours and I was born at 1:30pm in the afternoon. I weighed 4lbs and 9 ounces and was 20 ½ inches long and had lots of blonde hair. My parents said that I was in the hospital for two days and had no complications. My brother and sister and my grandparents came to visit and see me in the nursery at St. Mary's Hospital. My family was so happy that I was born and was healthy.

My birthday month is known and celebrated for several important reasons. The big, beautiful ruby is my birthstone for the month of July. There are many famous people born on my birthday, such as, Chuck Daly a famous basketball coach who coached an Olympic team and was named to the basketball Hall of Fame. (Gross) Also Carlos Santana was born on July 20th, he is a famous musician known for playing the violin and guitar. (Morrow). These are just a small sample of the people born on July 20th.

Many memorable events took place on July 20th. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. (Trawicky) Also, Guillermo Marconi, a wireless inventor, died while attempting to assassinated Adolph Hitler by using a bomb that he made. (Jennings) On July 20th a total eclipse of the sun was visible in the Northern part of North America.

My birthday is very exciting because many special events have happened on that day and many special people besides me were also born on that day and so July 20th is one special day.
