Well, I think that gifting your near and dear ones, an expensive item is the way to show how deeply you care for them and to show your immense love. So many people, they prefer to give expensive gifts to the person they love the most. So it’s the case with me. Ever since my childhood, I have planned to give my father an expensive car. As I belong to a very middle class family in which the parents had to sacrifice their dreams and happiness just for the sake of their children. My father, he rarely fulfil our wishes and he don’t pay any heed to his own demands and needs. So my dream is to make my father proud and to give him car and all the things he is doing. To give him a car and currently I am pursuing my master’s and I am planning to do my PhD from abroad and that to honor scholarship because I don’t want to burden my father as he is approaching his retirement age. So I am saving some amount of money from my scholarship. So as soon as I saved enough money to get him a car, so I would promptly give him and I think that they would be the best day of my life because I really wanted to see the happiness on his face. And I really hope that I am working towards my dream, to fulfill my dream with all my shared dedication and perseverance and I am putting all the back-breaking efforts so that I can turn this dream into reality.

Well, I think that gifting your near and dear ones an expensive item is the way to show how deeply you care for them and to express your immense love. Many people prefer to give expensive gifts to the person they love the most, and I am no exception. Ever since my childhood, I have planned to give my father an expensive car. I come from a very middle-class family where my parents had to sacrifice their dreams and happiness for the sake of their children. My father rarely fulfills our wishes and does not pay any heed to his own demands and needs. My dream is to make my father proud by giving him a car and acknowledging all the things he has done for us. Currently, I am pursuing my master's degree and planning to do my PhD abroad, ideally with a scholarship, because I don't want to burden my father as he is approaching retirement age. I am saving a portion of my scholarship money. As soon as I save enough to buy him a car, I will promptly give it to him, and I think that will be the best day of my life because I really want to see the happiness on his face. I truly hope that I am working towards my dream, fulfilling it with all my dedication and perseverance, and I am putting in all the hard work necessary to turn this dream into reality.
