“Because he said that all things were possible if I worked hard,” Fuller said.

When I was very young, I did not like to do things with my own hands. I did not need to learn to do anything. My parents were always there to do everything for me. They got the meals ready for me, washed the clothes for me, made the bed for me, and even took off the shoes for me.

After I was old enough to go to school, I often had to do some homework after I came back home from school. At first, I was very lazy and did not want to do any homework, so I still wanted my parents to do it for me. My dad said that he could do the homework for me, but my mum asked him not to take this crazy idea into his mind. She said to my dad, “If you do not let your son learn to do his own homework, he will never learn to do anything!” So my dad had to ask me to do the homework myself. However, he said that he would help me by checking my homework for me. In this way, I began to learn to do my homework all by myself. To my parents’ great surprise, I did most of the homework very well! My parents were so glad that they both held me in their arms and said, “You are really great!”

Hearing these words, I was very excited. I was so excited that I decided to learn to do more things by myself. I can help my parents do some housework. I am really glad that I can do so many things myself.
