I would like to talk about a time when I made promise to my young sisters. It was during her final exams and she was super stressed about everything. I told her that if she ran into school high school, I would buy her a special gift to celebrate her achievement. It was a hostile promise because I want to motivate her and support her during that challenging time. Now keeping that promise wasn’t exactly a work in the park. I found it quite tricky to choose the perfect present for her. I mean, I wanted to be something adorable and meaningful, something that showed how proud I was of her hard work. Another reason why it was tough was that I worried she might not like whatever I end up picking. My sister has a pretty specific taste and I didn’t want to disappoint her. Ultimately, I didn’t just want to buy her any random gift. I wanted to reflect how much I appreciate her effort and encourage her to keep being hardworking in the future. In the end, I was lucky enough to find a beautiful breakfast and I knew she would adore. When I gave it to her, her face lit up with joy and it felt amazing to see her happy. It turned out that the promise not only motivated her to study hard but also strengthened our bonds as siblings. Overall, it was a great experience that lets us both feel it is right. Thank you.
