I want to talk about my father. He has always been a very important person in my life. He was not strict about school or grades, but he cared more about teaching me good principles in life. One important thing that he taught me was that I don't have to be as smart as my friends; I just need to focus on myself. He said that because when I was in senior high school, I used to compare myself to my friends. He taught me in a very relaxed way. He didn't pressure me to study hard or give long lectures. For example, when I didn't pass an exam once, he told me, this is not the end of the world. Just focus on yourself and move on. This lesson was very useful for me, especially when I faced challenges. It made me feel better because I learned how to stay calm and that it doesn't matter what others are doing. In the end, my father not only taught me about school, but he also taught me about how to live and be confident.
