The Perfect Gift to my Father

When we talk about giving gifts to our fathers, we usually think of giving a clothes, shoes, or maybe a nice watch. These are good gifts, but for me, the perfect gift that I want to give to my father is my success.

My father is always there for us. He works everyday to do his responsibility and to send us to school. He sacrifices too much to provide our needs, and sometimes he even sacrifices his own comfort to make sure our family is well taken care of. Even if he is sick, he is still working to find money for my school. He doesn't ask for much, but I know deep inside, he dreams of seeing us succeed and achieve the things that he always hoped for me.

When I graduate, when I start my career, or when I accomplish my goals, I want to look at my father and see how proud he is. I want him to smile, a smile that says that all his sacrifices have helped us become who I am. I want him to know that his dreams for me have come true. Even if I can't show it with a mall clothes or an expensive gift, the best gift I can give him in my future, that shows everything right.

While I may not be able to buy him the most expensive gift today, I know that my success will be the greatest and the perfect gift I can give him. It shows that his hardwork and sacrifices, even his belly in us were never wasted. It will be the gift that last forever, because it will be part of who I am today, and who I am become.

What do you think is the weirdest thing in your home?

As I walk through the front door of my family's house, filled with curiosity, I wonder why we have such a big house when only five family members live in it. As I step inside, I feel as if someone is watching me. One night, while my aunt, a policewoman, was cleaning her firearm, she lost focus when she saw something pass behind her and touch her waist. Suddenly, she loaded her firearm due to the distraction. That was the first strange incident I witnessed. At dawn, my eldest sister would wake up early to iron her uniforms. She would go in and out of the room when something strange would happen—she would find the door locked, even though she hadn't locked it. This strange occurrence didn't just happen once or twice but many times. However, the scariest experience was yet to come. On Saturday night, January 18, 2025, at 8 PM, our little Noah was playing when he suddenly made a loud noise. We told him to stop but he didn't listen. Then out of nowhere, we heard a deep voice...

"COLLEGE LIFE"

Many people say that college is one of the best times in a student's life, filled with new experiences, friendships, and opportunities. But for me, it is more than that. It is a test of endurance patience, and perseverance.  As a third year student pursuing a Bachelor of Secondary Education major in English, I have realized that success is not just about intelligence. But, it is about hard work, determination, and courage to keep pushing forward even when things get difficult. Unlike those who excel naturally in academics, I struggle with English vocabulary and speaking fluently. Sometimes, I feel like I am always trying to catch up with classmates who can express their thoughts effortlessly. But instead of letting this discourage me, I see it as a challenge. I make the effort to study harder and read more, and practice speaking despite my insecurities, because I knew that learning takes time, and and long as I do not give up, I will continue to improve.  Financial struggles h...

What was your Spirit Animal be, and Why?

If I had a spirit animal, it would be a turtle. A turtle moves slowly, but it never stops. Just like me, even when the strongest wave brings me back to the ocean, I remain strong and stay dedicated to my goals. In my life, I struggle with different situations—financial problems challenge me, I have limited vocabulary, and I face difficulties in communication skills, sometimes struggling to understand difficult words because I’m not as intelligent as everyone else. But still, I keep fighting and telling myself that I can do it for my family and for my future. Even if sometimes I just want to give up, especially when I am in a difficult situation where I struggle to manage my time to complete my school requirements and do the work at home. I live with my aunt, and I need to do household chores as well. It is difficult for me to manage everything. It’s like the waves of the ocean pull me back from where I need to be, but like the turtle of the ocean, which represents resilience, adaptabil...
