Family is the most important social unit in people’s life. We have to appreciate and respect it and to help every member of our family if he or she gets in trouble. There was a serious tragedy in our family. My lovely Aunt Greta got in crush that led to serious problems. Now she is a person with limited disabilities. She can’t walk and work of course. Greta has a daughter. Her name is Jessica and she is seventeen. Not for a long time she entered a college, she prepared to be a doctor. Unfortunately her father has gone for a long time before the crash. It is very an unpleasant situation – it was grief. And all home affairs fell down on my Cousin Jessica’s shoulders. My mother loved her and felt sorry for her. Therefore, she fills her wardrobe with clothes, goes to resorts with her, gives pocket money and recently she has presented her eBook. I have good relationships with Jessica but this strong love of mother to Jessica scares me. And I endured all this until something didn’t happen. The whole summer I worked. Instead of going to the resort with my mother and Jessica I helped to Mrs. Martin. Mrs. Martin is our neighbor, she is an old widow, she has no children and she is completely alone. I cleaned her house, made purchases, cooked sometimes and did other stuff she asked. And for the help she paid very good money. It was my first salary. Earlier my mother used to buy me clothes but this year I decided to buy myself new clothes for new school year. I wanted to be the most fashionable girl at school and I bought design clothes on sale, at long last I deserved it. I bought shoes, a skirt, jeans and a bag. I was very excited with new things. I was sure everyone would jealous to me. I put my new stuff in the wardrobe and went to Monica (she is my best friend). When I came back home I decided to have a look at my new design clothes one more time. I opened the wardrobe and there was only bag and shoes. I asked my mother where my new clothes were and I have heard next words: “Oh, honey, don’t worry I gave everything to Jessica, your wardrobe is full of clothes”! I couldn’t believe my ears. I was very disappointed and angry. I was cross with them. It was the last drop. It was a big scandal. And in the end of it I have learned that I was a terrible person, I earned so much money and didn’t share with Jessica! But it was my money! It was I who had been working the whole summer! Now all my friends will go to school wearing new clothes and I will have to forget about design clothes and I will have to wear the old ones that annoyed me actually. It is not fair, as far as I understand anything in life.
