Throughout my life, I have received many gifts from various people, but the one that stands out the most in my memory is definitely a wristwatch that I received from my parents as a birthday gift. My mom told me that I would receive this on my 15th birthday. This was the day of my transition from secondary school to high school, so it was a special milestone for me. The gift truly took me back to my parents. It was not just a regular watch; the wristwatch was quite elegant. Instead of being overly sophisticated, it had a classic design with a feel of elegance. Even though it was not too flashy, the meaning behind it—the embodiment of the kindness and love from my parents—made it an indispensable lucky charm that I would always carry with me. Initially, I used it for practical purposes, such as for my daily routine, hanging out with friends, or during family gatherings. However, over time, I gradually discovered the sporadic coincidences between my successes and my luck. So, I wear it every day as a lucky charm, especially during exams or whenever I participate in a contest. To this day, it holds a very special place in my heart, and it serves as a guiding light for me in the near future.
