Well, when I think about a time I did something that relates to a family member, the first thing that comes to mind is an incident that happened six years ago. I remember that when I started secondary school, I had a crush on someone, which distracted me from studying. I became very lazy and hated studying. During that time, I did a lot of things that made my parents really sad, especially during the final exams. I didn't study at all and even used my phone to cheat during the test. Unfortunately, the examiner caught me, and they informed my parents. After that, I felt very regretful and sad because my family always supported me, but I had disappointed them. My friends didn't approve of what I did, but I knew my parents were very sad. I think my mother even cried. That experience made a lasting impression on me. I promised myself that I would become an honest person and work hard to get into a gifted high school to make my parents proud. And I did.
