Narritive.

Meg was so excited, she cried. Her mother had just informed her she was getting an slr camera.

It was her dream come true. Ever since Meg was about 10 years old, she's dreamed of becoming a photographer.

On her birthday, January 4th, her mom, Cate, gave her a small box. Meg opened the box and inside was a folded up piece of paper. She unfolded the paper somewhat confused.

Meg glanced at the picture printed on the paper and looked at Cate. Tears started forming in her eyes from extreme joy. The picture showed a Canon Rebel XT with the word "Coming soon!!!" written across it in thick silver letters. "I was so happy, I couldn't help but cry," Meg says.

About a month later, Meg's step dad, Ryan, came home with a cardboard box; Meg knew exactly what it was. She opened the box and took out her brand new Canon Rebel. Immediately she began snapping photos of her little sister, and things outside.

"Honestly, I've never been so happy in my life," she says.
