Time is very important in our life. It our everyday moments. However, time never had any importance in my life until I a watch from my father, which organized my life and made me more responsible. It's around my wrist with two silver bands.
I received this gift on a gray-sky day. I went to the airport a.m. to up my uncle Ali and take him to my house. However, I was late because I was with my friends. Later, around 11:00 a.m. I my uncle , but he had left the airport and taken a taxi to my house. I got to my house at 2:00 p.m. and felt of myself at that moment. After I said hello to my angry father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him and handed me this watch as a gift from him. Then he said, "Peter, did you have with your friends today? I answered, "Yes, Father, and I apologized for not meeting my uncle Ali." He said, "What you was not very nice and you should feel sorry for your action." I was ashamed and said, "Father, I'll never do it again. I promise." He said, "I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a for you." He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my life.
I learned a very important lesson from my father: to respect time and never to be late to get someone. This watch is to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.

The teacher stood before his class and was going to hand out the final exam papers. ‘‘I know how you have worked to prepare for this test:' he said. "And because I know you can do it well, I am willing to offer a 'B' to those who not to take the test."
Many students thanked the teacher and left. The teacher looked at the remaining(剩下的)students and said, "Does anyone else want to get a 'B'? This is your last chance." Two students decided to go.
Seven students remained. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have just got an in this class. Keep believing in .
I never had a teacher like that, but I think it is a test that any teacher could give. Students who are not in what they have learned are 'B' students at best.
The same is in our daily life. The 'A' students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have both successes and failures. They have learned life's lessons, not only from normal education, from events in their lives. In the end, they have become people. You see, one should always believe in himself.
