 I have no idea why my farther was so busy all the time. He never have time to go to my school meeting, or any school activities. He is so strange in my life. In my memory, he never care about me and he never stay home with me.
    My dad was crazy about drinks. It doesn't matter what kind of wine. He just love it. He can drinks four times a day. Even though its breakfast, he can drinks with eating bread. Wine is his family that he can not forget about it. When he drinks too much, he will show the feeling which is hard to say it out. He has lots of action to show his feeling. For example, when he was very happy, he will laugh like a crazy people, when he was upset, he will hit others.
     I remember that was my second year in middle school, my grade was around ten in the class most of the time. But I got terrible grade at the final exam. It was the worse grade that I got in my life. I can not say anything word about my test. I did not know how to tell my score to my parents. I think they will get mad and did not let me go out to play, just stay home to study until I get the better grade. At that time, I just have a idea in my mind, hide the grade sheet and tell them I get a good grade in my grade sheet but I lost it. I think I am smart enough to lie to them, that is the better way to solve the problem. Two days later, nothing happen. I am so happen that I start to play my computer games. My dad came home with drinks. he open my room without knock the door, then said:"Where is your grade sheet? why are you did not show us ?" I was so shot that shock why my dad know about the grade sheet. I did not say any word. He was angry that I did not answer his question. He was snapped to my face, a big palm print on my face. He continue said:" The teacher just told me about that, We are so disappointed with you. Tell me what happen ! "  I can not answer, I started to cried.  My dad saw me cried, he went out and close the door hardly. I can not stop crying, I have been crying for the whole night. I can not understood my dad's action. I think everyone has mistake, the way that he did never teach me a lesson.  but when I think about the reason that he snapped,  because he care about me, he wanted me to improve the grade and get a better grade next time. He just use the wrong way to show it.
            I accepted he because he is my father, even though sometimes he will hit me, but it is because he love me, he just use the wrong way to show his love.
