Often, I laugh at myself for doing things clamsily. I am flatfooted, so I also often stumble while walking. When I was young, I was accident-prone. I even got into a fight when I was in first grade when I accidentally broke a flower vase in school. I seldom got into fights, but when family and friends are treated unfairly, I stand up for them. One time when a classmate of my older brother tried to make fun of him, I got irked and chased the boy around campus. Eversince I was young, I never liked seeing people getting hurt and being treated unfairly by bullies. My father taught me that doing good is one thing, doing nothing about injustice is another.
My father's principles are still alive everyday in my family. We all try to pay forward the blessings each of us were given. It may not bring us wealth, but we are happy with what we have, each other. We seldom talk about mundane things at home. We used to have meetings to discuss vital issues at home, but that was seldom. Often, either we each read a book, write, eat, or do house chores. Or watch television and listen to music. Sometimes, we are more talkative outside. We have misunderstandings every now and then, but one thing is for sure, we are there for each other.
I love me. I love what I am today. I love my family. I love the people.
