1、That’s the greatest gift I’ve ever received. On my 15th birthday, this past December, I was anxiously  21  when my father and mother insisted that I go on a “mystery drive” with them. I figured it must be something  22 , as it was my birthday. I didn’t realize exactly how happy I would be, though,  23  we pulled up in the parking lot of a huge  24  supply store. This was the day that my family was going to open the door to a new opportunity for me. It was after opening their wallet, of course.

As you might have guessed, they bought me a sewing machine. This may sound nice, or some may even think it a dumb  25 . I don’t think of it only as a machine. To me, it means many things. For one, it’s my parents’ acceptance of my  26  and inspirations. They know that I have big plans for designing and think that I can achieve my goals. Not only that, but it is the realization that my parents no longer think of me as a  27  with strange and unrealistic goals. They, for one of the first times in my life,  28  me like a real adult. Besides, the knowledge that they were willing to  29  a lot for the machine showed that they  30  me. My family thinks that my creativity and design are so unique that it’s worth it for me to get started on something real.
