Well, I want to tell the story behind my camera. I've always wanted to own a camera with which I could take a lot of photographs of nature, people, and my environment. So, I decided to save a part of my monthly allowance from my father to buy this digital camera. After one year of saving, I was able to buy it. I really wanted this device because I wanted to participate in a photography class that required this kind of camera to take pictures and then show them to my trainer. I saved 50% of the money I received from my parents regularly. It's worth mentioning that I worked at a university in a group team, and I earned some money there. The other part of my budget came from gifts I received for my birthday. After collecting all this money together, I was able to purchase my favorite digital camera. Now, after that, I feel so happy and fulfilled. It was a great achievement for me, and I cherish the moments I can capture with it.
