Well, when I think about a time that I do something goody to a family member, the first thing comes to mind is an accident I had five years ago when I was studying a secondary school. At that time, my friendship was broken, and it truly distracts me from studying. I remember that I had to prepare for a, um, final exam in my class. But I careous and neglected my studies. So I made a, uh, decision to cheat during the exam. Unfortunately, I was scared kiding by the teacher, and they called my parents to report it. I felt frightened, um, and grateful at the same time. So I apologize to my parents, and they forgive me for my mistake. But I still felt good tea in some way. After that, when I came back home, they didn’t remind me about the sho. The shoe. But I still saw the disappointment in their eyes. This lesson is. There was a big lessence for me. And I promised to myself to go to a good high school to make my parents proud of me. And I get it now. I believe that now my parents maybe feel proud of me rather than disappointed.
