The picture I have chose was captured in 2009 in Rome, Italy. It was during a football tournament, where I was playing for the AC Milan youth academy. As we discussed the event at first, we decided to write down what we remember from the event separately. My thoughts were rapidly coming to my mind and all I did was write it all, just as how I remember it.
My perspective:
- I scored a goal and then we lost.
- We finished second.
- It took place in 2009.
My dad's perspective:
- I passed the ball which lead to my teammate scoring.
- We finished 4th.
- It took place in 2010.
As we both started to exchange thoughts and memories, I have noticed that they were not similar at all. The three points above, are the memories that created a kind of a conflict and made me wonder if I was living in a dream the whole time.
Apparently, the game "I scored in" and lost was not the final, it the the game that was played between the 3rd and 4th best teams. My dad and I both agree on the fact that we lost the game, but my dad insisted that it was played to determine the 3rd best team, which means that we finished 4th.
This shows that memory can be changed depending on how important an individual's mind thinks it is in order to preserve the memory in the long-term section. After conducting this amusing experiment with my dad, I got to a conclusion that my dad did not really pay attention, since I am positive that I am right.
