HOW MY FATHER INSPIRED ME

My father taught me lots of lessons in life since I was young, but the main point of his was about education. He always told me that if I wanted to be successful I would have to go to college to make something better. My family is not a wealthy family. Therefore, my dad saved every single penny he earned from work to buy anything that I needed. He always encouraged me, and still encourages me go to school, because he knows that the value of an education will determine a future for me. As a result, I adore him. My dad has a huge impact on how I am today. He has influenced my life by teaching me lessons and showing me the rights and wrongs.

            My dad taught me the most important lesson: how to be an independent man. I still remember the day that my father sat next to me and said, "Hey buddy, the most important thing to help you become successful is to have an education. Of course, I already knew he was going to say that, for it was nothing new.

            My father is a very smart man. He did not finish junior high school. My dad always reminds me of how my brother’s life style are different. He thinks (and might be right) that they have different life styles because my big brother had a higher education is now work as supervisor for debt collector in a leasing business ; unlike my second brother whom didn’t continued to college, now he was in Jakarta and work as trader there.

            My father through the years has shown me of how it would be and feel to be successful and be able to afford the things I want, but he has shown me more of what it is to not have a good career and to not be able to afford the simple things, because of it. He is my inspiration to keep motivated to get my degree in English Lecture, my dream job.

UNFORGETTABLE FAMILY TRIP

Last two year, my family and I went to Bengkulu. Bengkulu had many place to visited. The places that my family and I visited were not famous place, it’s just a village, but it’s cool. The name place Manak.

 The first place that we visited is uncle’s home after my family and I come to Bengkulu. After that,  my family and uncle’s family went to travel around Manak together at 07.00 am. We travel around to look some beautiful place, and we also took the picture in front im same place. I felt happy because can picnic in Manak with my big family. My family and I felt hungry because we don’t breakfast yet, and in there we breakfast together with meetball, and pop ice and . We only bought that on there place because forgot to brought some food.

My grandma’s house is the second place that we want to visited, but in there we don’t stand long because my cousin want to visited a game store as soon as possible. This atmosphere made me sad and angry. I don’t chance to look the place till I felt bored. I very dissapointed about that.

We straightly went to Mall, afterwards we come to there place. My brother straight to bought a novel, clothes, doll, and others in a book store near the beach. I also bought that. In there place we also come to timezone to play the game till 16.00 pm, because we felt hungry in there place we lunch together at a little restaurant.

The last place that we visited is Ai Padang Beach, well I don’t know exactly the sure name of the place. In there we take the picture. In there place I felt happy because there palce has a beautiful lanscape and I like that atmosphere in there place very much. Any people that visit there place just to take a picture with their friends or only walking out.

Finnaly, at 17.300 pm my family and I come back to Mannak. I think Mannak is one of the city that have many beautiful place to visit. I hope next time can come to there place again. And that is a wonderful holiday.
