So I would like to talk about money as a gift. The first time when I received money as a gift was on my 13th birthday. My parents just came to me and gave me money instead of physical things. The first time I was shocked and impressed because I usually get some physical things like clothes or even gadgets. But this time they decided to give me this cash. And after that, at first I felt satisfied and impressive. And I was a little bit shocked. So then I decided to spend this money on a good opportunity. I bought brand new shoes from the local store. And when I first unboxed it, it was beautiful and exactly fit on me. and I felt more comfortable with it. So I started running with my friends and spent time more properly and when I held the things. So I appreciate my family for this opportunity. And okay.
