#AtoZChallenge 2018 – X for X (10)

My letter X stands for the Roman numeral 10. I have quite a few life events happening around the number 10. For example, I came to the United States when I was ten years old. I remember I was too excited to sleep that I spent my first ever 11-hour plane journey watching movies and peeking out the window to see what I could see. I remember pushing the window up one time and was almost blinded by the white light outside. A flight attendant walked by quickly told me to shut the window. I didn’t open it again until I saw the other passengers open their windows.

Meanwhile, my mom was soundly asleep in the row next to mine. The plane was pretty empty considering it was nearly Christmas.

Other events happen around the number 10…
