My sister watched the movie with her boyfriend, but told my mother she needed to do school’s work with a classmate in the library. My brother bought a new smartphone for my father, but told him the wrong price. I also had experience being a cheat. I cheated my parents by saying that school supported us to go to Thailand to perform our project. It was a lie, but it was also a gift for my twenty year old birthday gift to myself. To achieve this plan, I needed to pursue my parents, earn enough money for the trip, and book all the tickets. First, I decided the topic and the place of the professional form. Of course, I used the key words “what’s the first choice to go to Thailand” and “the best route to relax in Thailand”. After I chose the place, and confirmed the schedule to fly, I copied the Thailand college’s website introduction and school building picture to create the activity information post. I also connected with my classmate to show how excited and hopeful I was to join the activity on the social media application. And then I printed the post and showed my account to my parents. My parents promised to accept the proposal. After I finished the first step, I needed to earn enough money to push my plan. To address this problem I chose to teach high school students to earn money. Unfortunately, the salary was not enough to support my trip. I needed to seek a second job, and keep my parents and their friends unknowing about it. I chose the second job which was at a neighboring site to be a shop clerk. As the time passed, I had enough money to go to Thailand. If I didn’t book the plane, it’s only a joke for myself. I applied for the passport, bought the airplane ticket and submitted the visa application. Not only did I spend money to buy tickets, but also connected the hotelier to check my order. Before I arrived in Thailand, I needed to ensure everything was on schedule. I didn’t forget to figure out the native culture, before I bought these tickets. Respect of all different cultures is more important than how much I spent. I had to prepare sufficiently to support myself to pass a wonderful trip. It was a good experience for myself. If you ask me, “Have you ever regarded it?”, I would say “Yes “. If I have one more chance to revise the problem, I would tell my parents the truth and invite them to go on the trip with me.
