Describe an incident/event during your lifetime that has had a significant impact on you

Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign inspired many US citizens. The message of hope and change that Obama conveyed struck a chord with voters. My family has always supported and believed in Obama's principles as a leader. I would have liked to have been at Barack Obama's first inauguration on January 20, 2009. I would have certainly felt proud of our country for electing him as our nation's leader.--Plato Sample answr

Answer: well since you said my lifetime ... now this might sound stupid to you, but when I was 4 I was on my horse miracle and i was with my grandmere (she's Spanish, so instead of grandma or granny or grandmother or gran or Grandmama, she prefers Grandmere) and she was walking next to me with her horse Hot-Spot; b/c he was reddish-orange and wild, and she was the only one that could touch him; and my horse; she was pure black with a star shape on her nose that was grayish-white; and we were walking along a abandoned road and my horse twitched and I wasn't expecting it and I fell off. Next thing I know I'm in this person's house trying to sit up, and me being pushed back down. I was told I had a concussion. since then I haven't been able to go around a horse. I still love horses but ... I can't get back up on one, b/c i hate to say this, but I'm scared to.
