Essay / How to become a better person? - 1235
Since I started school, my parents always told me when I brought my report card with three home that it was never good enough and that they wanted to see four and five , even though my school didn't do it. give more than four. I remember one day I came home from 2nd grade with an academic achievement award and my grandparents were very happy and proud. Afterwards, I felt better and smarter until later, when I went to show it to my father, he said to me: "...that's not good enough, you should have gotten the student of the month award. ยป This really depressed me because instead of thinking he was pushing me to improve, he really thought I wasn't smart. I didn't realize he was saying that so it could push me to get the student of the month award. The next month, after trying to get the award by doing all my homework, paying more attention in class, and participating more often, I received the award and achieved my goal of making my family proud. I realized that the more effort I put into improving my education, the more I move to the next level.
