That is not grammatical; is it meant to be the essay prompt? If so, where did you find it?

It's not too late; you can still do that.

and Thank you sppech

What does that mean?

You also haven't clarified the meaning of the text I highlighted in my previous post.

 

[THOUGHTFUL]

Necessary for the value and self development.

Means: Keeping in touch with family is necessary to understand the values of family and family members. They play important role in the development of our personality.

Planning the everlasting memory in my heart.

Means: It were my parents who had planned the occasion. This memory has been set in my heart for forever.

are the sentences not depciting the same meaning?

 

[THOUGHTFUL]

I edited the essay. Is it more clear now?


When I was a kid of 7-8 years old, my parents had planned to throw a surprise party for my grandparents on their 50th wedding anniversary. They invited all of my grandparents' close relatives. Some of them I had not met before.

The day arrived; everyone seemed happy and joyful. When my grandparents entered, everyone welcomed them with flowers. It was indeed a splendid experience. We were excited to see them, and they were even more so. They had been longing for a long time for the whole family to get together. It had been a decade since the last family gathering as every one was busy in their personal, professional and academic life far from our hometown. It was the first time I saw some of my cousins and relatives. My grandparents cut the cake and danced happily. Every one was enjoying the those special family moments.

Then, my grandparents thanked to all those who attended. They shared some of their invaluable memories and anecdotes. In the end of the party, they said that family is one of the precious gifts in life. Meeting one another once in a while is necessary to understand the values of family and family members. They play an important role in the development of our personality. They appreciated their children and grandchildren for the wonderful occasion. I heartily thanked my parents for planning the event. It sets the everlasting memory in my heart. :roll:
