I chose the topic Present for a Special Day. The happiest gift I have ever received is the ballpoint pen in the photo on the left. For me, this ballpoint pen is the only one in the world. No ballpoint pen can be substituted.

When I was a young boy, this old ballpoint pen was given to me for my birthday by my grandmother who I loved. My grandmother passed away. Sometimes, I remember and cry when I hold this ballpoint pen. I have memories of playing with her in the park and taking her fishing. But when I hold this ballpoint pen, I feel that our hearts are connected, and it makes me think that someone is watching over me from somewhere. Sometimes, it makes me wonder if I’m really alive. If I have the chance to meet her again, I would like to say a lot of thanks. Time is cruel.

I still have it in my pen case on my study desk at home. I hope to keep it close to me for years to come. I want her to watch over me in the future. I will become a splendid pharmacist that everyone can be proud of. I love her forever.
