Home,My Most Precious Treasure.
Once I’ve heard about a moving story.Mary was a woman who lived with
her three children。 Her husband died of a serious diaease several
years ago. To support the family without a man,Mary had to work hard
everyday,but the family was still in strait. One day ,the owner of the
house which they were living in went to them and asked them to move
out of the house because of their getting behind with rent.So they
moved out with sadness .However, the problem was,where could they move
in ?Had no choice ,they moved into a collecting post.One day,one of
Mary’s colleague laughed at Mary’s without a home .Mary smiled and
said softly,”No,acturally not that bad.We do have a home already,what
we need now is just a house to move in. ”
I was shocked by the story.And that is just the right meaning of
home:it is not an object with an exact shape or color ,but it surely
exists in my mind and always gives me the strength to go ahead.
When I was young ,Dad and mum altogether are the whole meaning of the
home in my mind .The first time when I realized the importance of this
was the year when I was about 12. It was a cold and windy night in
winter.Because of some reasons,dad and mum quarreled badly and I was
awfully frightened with nothing in mind and just stood
steadily.Suddenly mum turned to me with tears on her face and gave
some money ,then she told me ,”Dad and I are getting divorced.Now you
go to your grandpas’ with the money to take a taxi.” I didn’t stop
crying and just did as mum said.When I got to grandpas’ ,I sobbed out
what happened and told my grandparents that my parents were getting
divorced.
Finally my parents didn’t get divorced,of course.And that was just a
common quarrel between the young couple!However , I was so sad at that
moment.Maybe it was because I had been living with my parents since
the moment I was born,and I took it for granted that that’s natural!We
were born to live together!The uncertain change of the family was
something that I’d never thought before.And I thought dad and mum were
both important to me and I cannot live without neither of them.
My family has shaped my personality,I firmly believe. I realised more
and more about the benefits that my family brings to me.And to be
outspoken,dad and mum are more friends than seniors.
When I was a child ,I was apt to try everything I’ve never done or to
get access to things around me .Dad never blamed me for that while
others’ parents didn’t allow their child to do it .Even now,whenever I
come up with some ideas ,whether it’s realistic or not in others
eyes,dad would never say “no” and just support me and then chat with
me to exchange the feelings I get from that idea .Dad often says,“If
you never try ,you’ll lost the fun of an new experience and also lost
the possibility to success.“And I remember it,always. So once I set up
a goal,I would try my best to persue it.
At the same time ,I was also confused about my parents’ education
method when I was a little child.They always asked me to recite some
articles ,some are in English ,while some are in Chinese.It was really
a hard job and it seemed to be endless!So when other kids were playing
happily in the playground ,I couldn’t went out to play but to stay at
home lonely and recited those dull stuff!But now I understand.The
articles they asked me to recite ,some were rich in principles to
behave well in the society,some were full of beautiful sentences to
enjoy myself in the imagination world. I’ve acquired a lot from
them.Dad and mum have thought ahead for me and also my future.
Time has passed about 8 years since the first time I realised the
importance of my home.I’m a college student now,but my home will be
the treasure which I wouldn’t trade for anything.Just like the old
saying:east or west ,home is the best.That’s true.
