**Before the Shopping Trip:** I can’t believe my uncle offered to take me shopping for my birthday! The anticipation is thrilling, and I’m already dreaming of all the stylish outfits I might find. I’ve been browsing online for inspiration and can’t wait to show him what I need. However, I’m also a bit nervous about spending too much money or not picking the right pieces. I hope I can find something that truly feels like me! **After the Shopping Trip:** Wow, what an amazing day! I found some incredible clothes that I absolutely love. My uncle was so patient and helped me choose outfits that I never would have picked on my own. I felt a rush of excitement as I tried everything on. We even grabbed ice cream afterward to celebrate my new wardrobe! I’m so grateful for this experience; it made my birthday feel extra special. I can’t wait to wear my new clothes and show them off to my friends!
