Time is very important in our lives. It organizes our everyday moments. However, time never had any importance in my life until I received a watch from my father that organized my life and made me more　 1　　 .

　 It’s round in the center with two silver bands that go around my wrist（手腕）. And all of it is made of silver. This object tells me the 　 2　 of time in my life.

　 I received this gift on a gray-sky day. 1 had to go to the airport at 9:00 AM to 　 3　 up my Uncle Ali and take him to my father’s house. However, I was late because I was 　 4　 out with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 AM, I 　 5　 my uncle, but I was very 　　6　 for him. He had left the airport and taken a taxi to my father's house.

　 I got to my father's house at 2:00 PM on the same day and looked at my angry father’s face I felt 　　7　　 of myself at that moment. After I said hi to my angry father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him where he handed me this watch as a gift from him. Then he said, “Essa, did you have 　　8　 with your friends today?” I answered, “Yes father, and I'm sorry about not picking up my Uncle Ali” He said, "What you did was not very nice and you should be 　 9　 for your actions ” I was ashamed and said, “Father, I'll never do it again. I promise.” He said, “I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a reminder for you.” He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my 　 10　 　

I learned a very important lesson from my father: to 　 11　 time and never be late to get someone. This watch is 　 12　 to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.
