My birthday is on August 15th. It’s always a special day for me because it marks the start of my new year. On this day, I usually wake up to the sound of my family singing “Happy Birthday” to me. Mom makes my favorite cake, and Dad gives me a small gift.

This year, I invited some friends over for a little party. We played games, shared stories, and laughed a lot. The best part was cutting the cake together and blowing out the candles. I made a wish before blowing them out—I hope to keep having such wonderful moments with my loved ones.

Even though birthdays come every year, they never get old. They remind me how lucky I am to have a caring family and great friends around me.
