One time, my aunt and I went to the Sandy River Department Store to buy shoes. My aunt bought a pair of shoes for my cousin, and I asked my aunt to buy a pair for me too. I looked carefully at each pair of shoes, not knowing which pair to buy. I looked at them as I walked. Suddenly, a pair of one hundred and thirty-eight yuan sneakers caught my eye. When I got home, my mom asked me where I bought them when she saw my new shoes. I said, "At the Shahe Department Store, one hundred and thirty-eight yuan." My mom said, "Children don't need to spend so much money to buy a pair of shoes, if you want to buy them, buy them cheaper." In order to punish me, mom put my year's pocket money to "ban", but also from my savings out of 138 yuan back to auntie. I was a little bit upset because I lost 138 dollars in one go. When my mom saw this, she said to me, "It's not that mom doesn't have any money to give you, but this time I just want you to know that you've grown up, and you have to learn to be responsible for everything you do. This time is to give you a lesson." From then on, I never dared to buy anything at random.
On one occasion when I was in the second grade, I came to my mother's office and saw many students holding compositions for my mother to see, and I asked, "Mom, what's this for? "My mother replied, "They're going to represent the school in an essay contest." I whispered, "Good thing I'm a second grader and don't have to go to any contests." Mom heard me and exclaimed, "Why don't you start writing tonight without having to enter!" I was taken aback, "I don't participate in such a high level competition for a second grader."" I don't want to participate in such a high level competition." "What do you mean you don't want to participate in it, you have to write an essay tonight no matter what!" I was frightened by my mom's power. The night before the competition, I said to my mom, "I don't want to take part in it." My mom said, "Don't be afraid. It doesn't matter whether you win or not, as long as you try your best." Hearing these words, I was convinced, and finally won the Excellence Award in this year's Nan Ye Cup "Father's Birthday" competition. It was this award that gave me the confidence to participate in this competition. Today, my mom is here with me once again to participate in the competition, and with her encouragement, I believe that I can do it.
When I was a child, my mom was my home. When I grew up, my mom was my eternal spring.
Mom, thank you.
