The Greatest Lesson from My Parents - by Veryco

The story began when I was child, maybe when I was 7 years old. In my pass, I had a very dark brown skin color, because I like to play outside. In that time, I couldn’t ride the bicycle well. Because of my naughtiness, I didn’t care about my capability and my parent advices. One day, I was riding bicycle as usual with my friends. And we played catch with each other. We rode very fast, and I still didn’t care to my capability of my cycling. My mom always told me not to ride bicycle carelessly, but I always ignored her. Suddenly, I lost my balance of my cycle, and I fell down into the gutters. The gutters were very black that my skin became darker. My mom was actually there and saw me, but she didn’t help me because she didn’t recognize me in that dirty appearance. Fortunately, one of my friends called my mom “Maaam…, your son fell down from his bicycle and there he is!” He then pointed at those gutters where I was in. Without thinking of anything, my mom then ran to those gutters and rescued me. After rescuing me, she slapped my bottom because she was too embarrassed to her neighbors. Finally, before I was allowed to enter my house, she squirted me in front of my house and all of my neighbors were looking at me. Since then, I promised myself not to ride bicycle fast anymore.
Before we go further, I would like to introduce myself first. Hi, my name is Veryco Andrean. Veryco came from the word “Very Cool”, and my parent abbreviates that to be Veryco. Isn’t that cool huh?? My parents wished me to be a cool person in the future. And as my parents wishes, now I became a cool guy like what they want me to. I was born 18 years ago in Surabaya. My parents never told me about the place where I was born. And I don’t care about that, because I do care with my future, not my pass. I was born on 29th of December 1990. I am the first child from the two of my parents’ child. I have one little brother, he’s still study in the 4th grade of elementary school. I’m so happy to be the first child in my family, so that I can get a lot of new things first. And I can lead my brother to be like what I wish to, I wish him to be a good child like me. Nothing interesting about my life, but my life is so unpredictable. I passed a lot of interesting experiences out of my mind. I don’t know how should I tell my story, but one of my greatest story had been written above. That’s the one that I couldn’t forget until now.
From that day, I learned many important lessons from my every experience. And by the time I grew up, I started to take care of my appearance, behavior and attitude in front of public. Like what my mom said, I have to be a person like what she hopes me to. And I proof that, now I became a very cool person like what she wished me to.
From every experience that I have passed, I would like to tell you the most precious lesson for your life, especially in your family. Remember, parents are the most precious thing in your life. Every word that came from them, are the best choice for us. We have our own life, and we must decide which one is the best. Parents give us some path to walk, but we have to choose which one is the best, because the one who undergo your life is yourself.
