I am absolutely thrilled to talk about the thing that I received from my parents that was something I really need. Namely, it was my laptop. To give you some context, gone are days when I was beginning my study in IT courses. At first, I thought I was the best on the study of my group. However, I have only one problem. Everyone had their own laptop on my group except for me. Then, on my study, some issues related to that laptop appeared. Then, I thought my IT study looks like a squared circle without that laptop. Then, I faced it with my dad and we talked about my problem. A few days later, we just went to the one market and we just bought a new laptop for me. Actually, for my study. After we bought a new laptop for me, my dad taught me a very essential lesson. He said, son, despite every difficulties, the idea of giving up never crossed our mind. All of us know that success always requires patience and persistence. And then, everything gradually falls into place on my study. That’s all.

I am absolutely thrilled to talk about the thing that I received from my parents that I really needed. Namely, it was my laptop. To give you some context, gone are the days when I was beginning my studies in IT courses. At first, I thought I was the best in my study group. However, I had one problem: everyone in my group had their own laptop except for me. Then, during my studies, some issues related to that laptop appeared. I thought my IT studies looked like a squared circle without that laptop. I faced this with my dad, and we talked about my problem. A few days later, we went to a market and bought a new laptop for me, specifically for my studies. After we bought the laptop, my dad taught me a very essential lesson. He said, 'Son, despite every difficulty, the idea of giving up never crossed our minds. All of us know that success always requires patience and persistence.' Then, everything gradually fell into place in my studies. That's all.
