On August 21st, those of us in North America will have the chance to behold one of nature's more awe-inspiring phenomenons: a total solar eclipse. For two minutes during that remarkable day, the moon will pass in front of the sun, casting a shadow along the path of totality. While witnessing this monumental event could be a life-changing experience for those in the right place at the right time, we also find meaningful moments that happen every day. For SixContest #103, we want to hear about the pinnacle moments that define your life, in exactly six words. Whether it's meeting an idol, finishing a project, or achieving a personal breakthrough, there are once (maybe twice!) in a lifetime opportunities that can change our story forever.

If you'd like to share a backstory (we love reading them!), be sure to submit your entry as a six and include the link here in the comments. Please post only one entry per comment.
