Answer Question 6 Many important things that we cannot learn in school or university, we learn from our experiences.

Since childhood I have also learned many things through my experiences. I have a bad experience in my life that has taught me many lessons that are important to me. Even it makes me tears unnoticed during re remembered every time but the incident has really changed my life. Incident that I mean is my beloved fathers death. The unfortunate incident happened when I was 21 years old. At that time I just started working in the public sector. My father who was also a civil servant at the time was a most respected and highly regarded among others. He was a great father and always responsible in giving the best to his family. At that time I was as a young man to be said that not very responsible and always expect help from my father in all types of business. My favorite activity and I always do is hanging out with friends. All kinds of household matters dealt with by my parents. One day while I was hanging out with my friends, I received a phone call from my mother saying that she get to know from a neighbour that my father involved in a road accident while traveling back home in his car and he has sent to hospital. I then rushed to the hospital with my friends and found my father covered in blood and unconscious being given emergency treatment by a doctor. I was informed by the traffic investigating officer that my fathers car was hit by another car from the opposite direction travelled by young men has drifted into my father's lane after unable to control their speed at a dangerous bend. After certain time, I was informed that my father has passed away during treatment due to severe head injuries. I became panic and do not know what to do next. The only thing I can do was cry loudly because I could not accept the loss of my father. After a few minutes, I tried to calm myself and start making things to do next. After completion of the hospitals procedures, I brought home his corpse to my hometown and managing funerals. I do not know how to calm my mother and my sisters who cried non-stop. But I am grateful for many of our relatives and friends came to help us in his funeral. Her corpse buried in my hometown. After that, as a son who lives near to family was my responsibility to manage my family. My mother as a less educated and always relied on my father previously was not as well-versed

in outdoor activities. Therefore all kinds of external affairs concerning the family have become my responsibility after that. At first I was having a lot of difficulty because of these things is something new for me. I do not get to spend time with my friends often like I used to. But I learnt everything slowly. Many new things such as shopping for groceries, pay bills, manage my siblings education, attending the marriage of relatives, bring mother to the hospital, bring mother and siblings wherever they want to go and many more things have become my responsibility. The incident really has made me become a responsible person. I am no longer a person who likes to hang out or someone who likes to waste money like I used to. I also have learned to stay calm and manage things even in worse situation. These knowledge help me until now and I am sure it will continue to help me in the future.
