A present

Today is a meaningful day. It’s my mom’s birthday. Since I attend college, I hardly have the time to go home and talk with my mom. Therefore, my younger sister and I planned to buy a comfortable rope sandal for mom. Because my mom donates herself to the whole family and never complained a word, we decided to make money by our own and bought this wonderful shoe. As a result, we find a part-time job in a sea-food restaurant as waitress. It’s not as easy as we imagined. We were exhausted after a twelve-hour working. At that restaurant, we had to mop the floor, washed dishes and stood all day long. We seldom do that housework at home; hence, our hands and legs were aching all over with fatigue. Although we hate doing that stuff, we gained experience from this work. We realize the importance of studying hard. Our reflection is that: we’ll NEVER do this again! It makes me thought of the idea that cultivating our competition in society is significant. After this experience, we know and understand that earning money by our knowledge instead of labor is much easier. And finally, we receive two thousand dollars. We went to the department store and searched for the unique shoe. Wearing rope sandal is extremely comfortable in the hot summer day. I saw the big smile when we sent this present to my mom, I know the “fag” we did today was worth it.
