Time is very important in our lives. It 16 our everybody moments. However, time never had any 17  in my life until I received a watch from my father that organized my life and made me more 18 . It’s round in the center with two silver bands that go around my wrist. And all of it is made of silver. This 19 tells me the importance of time in my life. I received this 20 on a gray-sky day. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 am to 21 up my uncle Ali and take him to my father’s house 22 , I was late because I was 23 out with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 am, I 24 my uncle, but I was very 25 for him. He had 26 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 looking at my angry father’s face I felt 27 of myself at that moment. After I said hi to my 28 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 29 with your friends today?” I answered, “Yes, father, and I’m sorry about not picking up my uncle Ali.” He said, “What you 30 was not very nice and you should be sorry for your 31 .” 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 32 for you.” He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my 33 . I learned a very important lesson from my father: to 34 time and never be late to get someone. This watch is 35 to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it. 16.
