Throughout my whole life, I have received a lot of gifts from various people. But the one that stands out the most in my recollection is definitely a wristwatch that I received as a birthday gift from my parents. If my memories are worth anything, this was my favorite birthday, marking the special milestone of my transition from secondary school to high school. The gift took me back as I understood that my parents were not the type of people who were keen on buying jewelry. The watch is quite elegant. Instead of having a sophisticated design, it has a classic look with a leather band. Even though it's not flashy, the meaning behind it, the embodiment of the love and care from my parents, brings a smile to my face. It has become a lucky charm that I always bring with me wherever I go. Initially, I used it for practical purposes, such as when hanging out with friends or during family gatherings. I didn't have any other interests, but as time flew by, I gradually noticed a coincidence between my success and the possession of the wristwatch, and it became a lucky charm. I still bring it with me today, but unfortunately, it has run out of battery recently, and due to my hectic school schedule, I haven't had a chance to take it to a technician. However, I still carry it with me to ward off bad luck, as I can feel the love and care of my parents still surrounding me.
