The very first precious gift I have received in my life is family – in which I am always beloved. There are four members in my family: my parents, my elder sister and me. My dad used to be an engineer but he is retired now and spends most of his time on gardening as a daily hobby. My mom is working as a teacher at a high school and the same as my dad, she also has a great interest in gardening. Both of them are really considerate, sometimes rather strict but they always stand by my side when I am in need. About my sister, she is going to graduate from university. She and I share a common interest in food. We love cooking, photographing food and savouring culinary delights anywhere we come to visit. Our family members often spend time together by going on family holidays or having a picnic so that we can have a chance to learn to share and listen to each other's problems. However, it is unavoidable that there are conflicts as I am quite an independent and stubborn girl, but after all, they are the ones who always trust and support me. To put it briefly, family is my motivation and it is in their arms that I feel safe and at peace.
People say: Family where life begins and love never ends. There is only love from bottom of the heart that could realize the meaning of that saying. My family is made up of 3 people: my mother, my younger brother and I. My parents have divorced for 10 years. Since the pain that my mother had to suffer is too big so she doesn’t get marriage again and she has tried all her best to take care of us. My mother’s main job is a pilot at Vietname Airlines. Her flights could be last for a few days or even a week. Sometimes we only meet her at the weekend. But my mother did hire an old house maid who is very careful and nice to take care of me and my brother while she is busy at work. We always look forward to receiving mother’s gifts after a flight. Left all the mess behind, my mother becomes a strong woman that she even couldn’t imagine before. About my younger brother, he is the most mischievous person that I have ever known. Last semester, my brother’s teacher came to see my mother three times a week to complain about the things that he had done. However, he is very good at swimming. In addition, he is one of ten excellent students in school. That’s why my mother always tolerant of his bad behaviours. In the opposite of my brother, I am quite staid and taciturn. But we are still very close and think about each other as a best friend. That makes my mother is so happy. Now, I am no longer stay at home, I moved to Ho Chi Minh 2 months ago to study at university. I miss my mother, my brother and even my house maid so much. No matter how far I am away from home, my family is always in my heart because “family where life begins and love never ends”.
