I think people could learn something from their issues. I have a lot of reminiscences during my childhood. But the two things impressed me. I learned a lot from those events. I also learned a lot of things during my childhood. When I was eight years old, my parents divorced. I lived with my dad for several years, and I think he was irritable. I think he was irritable because my mother divorced him. He was in a bad mood. He often beat me when I made a little mistake. One day, I went home after school at night with my friends. We talked a lot and got fun, I felt very happy before I knocked my home door. During that time, I felt depressed when I was at home because he always beat me. I habitual standing at the door five minutes before I knocked the door. Because I needed time to adjust my mindset. I think this feeling was hard to understand. After five minutes, I knocked the door, but I did not realize that I lost my schoolbag. My father slowly opened door and looked at me, he had no expression on his face when he opened the door. After few minutes, he seemed to find something, and he frowned. I was so scared, and I whispered to him, “why do you look like angry?”. He shouted at me, “where is your schoolbag?” I realized I lose my schoolbag on my way home, but I had another stronger feeling that I would be beaten. I cried and said “I am sorry, I may have lost it on my way home” he was disappointed in me, and scolded me, “why can’t you do such a simple thing? “why cannot I understand how you could made it?” I was crying. I was so grieved. 2 I could not say anything, I just cried. He did not stop scolding me, he continued to ask me, “where did you lose it and when?” I could not understand why he asked me those questions. I was dizzy, I could not think anything. At last, he stopped talking, he said “you stay at home, I am going to find your schoolbag.” When he left the home, my emotion was complex. I stopped crying and calmed myself. I found he did not beat me. I did not understand why he did not beat me. I thought he would beat me when he went back to home. When I think about it, I felt so bad. An hour later, my father came back home with my schoolbag. But he did not continue to scold me, he just said “Do not lose it again, doing your homework.” After this event, I have not lost any stuffs. But I deeply know that I should use a correct method communicate with other people, and reprimanding is useless to talk to people. In other words, using a rude approach will not solve the problem. After this issue, I could have a good communicating with other people, and how to talk to other people that let them easy to accept your suggestions. I also look after my belongings carefully. I lived with mother when I was 14 years old. I did not like studying at that time for many reasons. One day, my mother came back to home after work, I decided to talk to her about this thing. I solemnly said “mom, I do not want to go school”. My mom amazedly looked at me and unhurriedly said “why do not you want to go to school? If you do not go to school, what can you do?”. I immediately said, “because I do not like studying”. But my mother second question made me stop talking. I was thinking about it, she said is right. After few seconds, I tried to answer her question. I said, “I could find a job” she smelled and whispered. “if you do not go to school, you do not have knowledge. What kind of job could you find? Do just want to be a busboy?”. I could not have anything to say at this time. I thought she was right, I want a good life. I want to buy what I want to buy and eat what I want to eat. My mother sequentially said, “you have to study. Even you do 3 not like studying but you will always learn in school.” “In the present society, if you do not have knowledge, you only could be a busboy.” I do not have any reasons to keep my opinion. Thus, I continued to go to school every day. Even after this, sometimes I still did not want to go to school. But my mother was always possible to change my mind and keep me going to school. I am 21 years old, right now. I know the people who my friends have not gone to school scene they were 14 years old. They do nothing everyday and spend their parents’ money. They do not have knowledge and do not want to be a busboy, but a good job does not need them ether. I look at myself, I am studying in United States which means I have the best education in the world. I have a major I want to study. More important is I know who I want to be. When I graduated, I think I would have a nice job and get higher income. So, I think my mother change my life, and she could affect my whole life. If I left school at that time, I could not think what is going on about my life. Finally, I think our lives is in our hand. Whatever how bad thing you have experienced, but you still can learn somethings from it. Do not give up your life because others did bad thing to you. I like to sum up my experiences, because I can learn by summarizing your own experiences. I think the young people should consider parents’ suggestions. The parents’ experiences are much more than you, I think we could find the correct answer from them which you want. Those two things affected my life. I love my mother. 4
