When I read this topic, the first thing that came to mind was a party that was organised for my 16 birthday by my parents. It was a surprise party so I didn’t know anything about it. To be honest, I actually thought that my friends had forgotten my birthday because no one was talking about it or asking me what I wanted to do.
When I brought it up, everyone dismissed it by saying ‘sorry, I’m a bit busy at the moment so can we do something next month to celebrate it?’ This made me incredibly depressed that no one could be bothered to spend time with me on my special day. My parents were aware of my distress and suggested that we go out for a slap-up meal instead. What I didn’t know was that they were secretly planning this surprise party for me.
On the day of my birthday, I got a few text messages from close friends wishing me a happy birthday. Even though the day was good because I went out shopping with my parents and siblings and I got a brand-new iPad, I felt a bit down because I thought that my friends were ignoring me. At 5pm, we went to the restaurant and as I walked through the doors, I heard ‘surprise’ and was gobsmacked to see all of my friends and family there.
I was astounded that my friends and parents had managed to organise this event and no one had breathed a word to me. I was thrilled to bits that all the people who are special to me were in that room. The food was delicious and then there was a disco so we danced until the early hours. I’m not sure any birthday can top that one and I’ll certainly never forget it.

The happiest experience I can recall is the surprise party my parents organized for my 16th birthday. This event stands out because it was completely unexpected and brought immense joy to my heart. At the time, I was under the impression that my friends had forgotten my birthday. No one mentioned it, and when I brought it up, their responses were dismissive, saying things like, “Sorry, I’m a bit busy right now, so can we celebrate next month instead?”
This made me feel quite downhearted, as I thought my friends didn’t care about my special day. My parents noticed my disappointment and suggested we go out for a fancy meal instead. Little did I know, they were secretly planning a surprise party for me.
On my birthday, I received a few text messages from close friends wishing me well. Despite spending the day shopping with my family and receiving a brand-new iPad, I was still feeling a bit disheartened due to the perceived lack of acknowledgment from my friends. However, everything changed when we arrived at the restaurant. As soon as I walked through the door, I was greeted with a chorus of “Surprise!” and was overwhelmed to see all my friends and family gathered there.
I was amazed that my friends and parents had managed to organize this event without letting anything slip. The fact that everyone who mattered to me was there made me incredibly happy. The evening was filled with delicious food and a lively disco where we danced until the early hours. The joy I felt from being surrounded by loved ones and the effort everyone put into making the evening special was truly unforgettable. This birthday remains one of my happiest memories, and I doubt any future birthday could ever top it.
