When I was a child, our family was an important rule that everyone was afraid of. It was that if you go to school and if you get a lower grade, like two grades in school, it will be a nightmare for everyone because everyone should be well educated in our family and who achieves lower grades will be punished and I was very afraid in this rule. So one time I didn’t do my homework well, I went to school and I was not well prepared for this subject. Then my teacher punished me and marked me very low grade. After that I came back home, my mom checked my online journal. I was very afraid that she would punish me. Then I remembered that this rule, I was very over-helmet and over-stressed that this day will be my nightmare. So after checking the journal, my mom realized that I was very young, that punishing me is not changing, not everything at all. So she said to me that I should study well as I want to be rich in the long run. So after that I prepared very well to every subject and after that I never get a lower marks in school.

When I was a child, our family had an important rule that everyone was afraid of. It was that if you went to school and received a lower grade, like two grades lower, it would be a nightmare for everyone because everyone should be well-educated in our family. Those who achieved lower grades would be punished, and I was very afraid of this rule. One time, I didn't do my homework well, I went to school, and I was not well prepared for the subject. Then my teacher punished me and gave me a very low grade. After that, I came back home, and my mom checked my online journal. I was very afraid that she would punish me. I remembered this rule, and I was very overwhelmed and stressed, thinking that this day would be my nightmare. After checking the journal, my mom realized that I was very young and that punishing me would not change anything at all. She told me that I should study well if I wanted to be successful in the long run. After that, I prepared very well for every subject, and I never received lower marks in school again.
