“It was my 18th birthday present from my father. It was the first present I had received for my birthday in 18 years. I come from a family that believes not much in material possessions, but rather in value of growing money.

Every year on my birthday, ever since I was born, I received a small some of money that would be put into a bank account just for me that I still do not have access to. But for my 18th it was a present I least expected to commend me for my patience and appreciation for quality over quantity (as told by my father who obviously portrays me as way better a person than I believe I am).^{{ 1 }} This object is something I value extremely and see myself passing it down through generations like my father who received a watch from his father and he will give to my brother.” V
