Have you ever lost something very
valuable to you? Unfortunately, I have lost many things, including something
that I considered “priceless to me”. It was worth almost $100, and what’s more,
it was my life savings. That day was horrible, especially when my
mom said I did not care at all about it.
One day, out of the blue, my mom told
me that we were going to the shopping mall. I asked if I could buy whatever I
wanted. My mom said that I could, as long as I pay for it with my own money. I was
overjoyed! I absentmindedly put my whole life savings in the front pocket of my
school bag and walked with my parents in the subway. I kept a good eye on my
money.
Very soon, we got to our destination.
“63rd Drive, Rego Park. Transfer is available to the – M – and – R – lines. The next stop is 67th Street,” the artificial
voice on the loudspeaker said. We hurried up the escalators and ran to the
mall. As we browsed around, my mom bought many things. I looked for interesting
things at Sears, some cool but cheap clothes from Marshalls, and fun toys at
K-Mart. To my great disappointment, I could not find anything I really wanted.
I left the shopping mall feeling let down.
As we went down the subway station
with our new purchases, I wondered why I brought all of my savings instead of just some of it. How could I bring all of my
savings? Shouldn’t I have just brought part of it? What if I lose it somehow?
Then again, my mom forced me to rush out of the house. With these thoughts
in mind, my family went in a subway car and started our way home. Soon, when we
were halfway through, my mom asked me where my money was. Of course, my money
was in my bag. I opened my front bag and felt nothing. Wait, did I check in the right pocket? I looked in all of the other
pockets, but it was not there. Am I
feeling wrong? No, I’m right. But wait! I lost my LIFE SAVINGS? When I told my mom, she looked furious.
“You lost something AGAIN? And it is your LIFE SAVINGS? How could you? Did it
just grow legs and run away?” She said she would punish me right on the spot. I know! How did it just disappear? How could
it have been stolen or it dropped out? Who would do such a thing? I was
extremely disheartened. I wanted to go sit in a corner and disappear.
To sum this all up, the day I lost something
valuable was the horrible day I lost my money. I hope that I will not lose
something like that again. Why do I have this
suspicion that my mom did something to my
