I want to say thanks to my mother, the greatest mother in the world. She taught me many things about life.
When I was in Grade Seven, I did a wrong thing. We had a math class and I knew everything already, so I felt the class was boring. And I decided to put a pen into one of my ears for fun. That made my classmates laugh. My teacher was angry and told me not to do that.
But I put another pen into the other ear for a few minutes. The students laughed again. My teacher took me to the headmaster’s office. The only problem was that the headmaster was my mother.
