There was a time that was such a bad situation and experience for my family. It was winter, and my dad had broken his right arm and right leg. Out of my dad, nobody could earn money, and nobody could supply the necessities for my family. I was young, and my mother had no job, so there was no food or money. After my dad broke his right leg and arm, I decided to work and earn some money. I searched for work and found that those jobs were really difficult. Washing cars was one of them, but it was winter, and the water was so cold. I washed cars and nearly became ill, but not completely. My dad heard about that, and he told me that he was proud of me because I tried so hard and didn't care about the work. There was one person who was really kind and helped my family by supplying money and food, all the things we needed. After three weeks, my dad recovered completely and started to work, and everything was going well. But those three weeks in winter were really a tough situation. I mean, it was a challenging circumstance for my family that we have ever experienced.
