There is always something that we can never forget. And it can really change our life.
Time is important for everyone. It organizes our everyday moments. However, ①before I received
a watch from my father, time never had any importance in my life.It organized my life and made me more
responsible.
I received this gift on a Sunday. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 am to pick up Uncle Jim and take
him to my father’s house. However, I was late because I hung out with my friends. Later on that day,
around 11:00 am, I remembered my uncle and went to the airport to meet him, but I was too late. He had
left the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.
I got to my father’s house at 2:00 pm that day. ②Looking at my father’s face, I felt ashamed
(羞愧的) at that moment. My father asked me to sit next to him and he handed me this watch as a gift.
Then he said, "Bob, did you have fun with your friends today?" "Yes, Father, and I’m sorry about not
picking up Uncle Jim," I replied. He then said, "What you did was not very nice and you should be sorry
for your actions. I think you should learn something from it, and this watch will be a reminder for you in
your future life." ③The watch is very important to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson
that I learned from it.
Today I still remember my father’s words"Respect time and never be late for anything."
