The changing in my life
How should we start this story, how about once upon a time, no its for fairy tale how about, in a year of 2005, no this is not a World War or something, ok then let’s start with this. Hi, my name is Eddy I’m 13 this year, I study at AIS (American International School) and this story is about how I change after the past 4 years which mean when I was in 4th grade at IPS.
Back in that time, I still had a happy family, my life is wonderful, like every day I wake up, wash my teeth eat my breakfast and change clothes and get ready to go to school, before I was transfer to AIS, I’m study at IPS, it’s a Vietnamese school, it’s kind of fun and I had a lot of friends too. At that school I feel like I will not going to leave this school because I had study this school for 5 years now and I had no intention to study other school but why I’m study at AIS, well it’s a long story but this is not what we are going to talk about. My family had 6 peoples: my grandpa, my grandma, my brother, my father, my mother and me, to me this is a wonderful family except for my dad, he always gambling and always go home late but that’s not a important things to know so continue my story, our school had a 1 weak break for the student to get rest and be ready before the first year of school, as always my mom’s pick me up after school but instead of my mom’s, it was my dad who pick me up to day, I feel strange like why is he pick me up, usually he would be gambling by now not go home until 12:00 pm. Instead of taking me home, he pick up my brother at nursery school and then go for ice cream, I wonder that what is going on he never do that to us except Sunday because that’s the only day he’s not gambling so after the ice cream, he take us to some market to buy toys or candies. I feel like dizzy for don’t know what is going on is he change or he just want to take advantage of me for an excuse for my mom, which do you think, let’s find out together. So he take us home, buys some chicken fried for us to eat dinner and then play some games with me, I think now he is understand that his family is important to him so he’s not gambling anymore, I wonder if going to do the same thing tomorrow. I wake up with happiness and hope I going to have the same fun as yesterday but I didn’t see my dad anywhere, the only I think I found about him is his favorite shirt on the sofa. I ask my mom about this and you know what she said, she said that my dad’s was gone, he ran away because of gambling, he always lose and he own a lots of money that he can’t even pay and have to ran away, that’s why he was so nice yesterday because he know he’s can’t see his family again so he never return to us again for the last time I his life.
And you know what, I haven’t seen him since that day but you know what he come back to see us when I was study 5th grade, that’s mean he still haven’t forgot his family and now each year he visit us also he had send us money for me and my brother education. Since that day I had change, I had study hard and try to go on college to help my family not by gambling like my father, I had walk the path that I had chosen, the path that will lead to the future for a better life.
