My dad bought me a new Jeep when I was 17,but the real gift was what he taught me about life through this car. very month, on the first day, he asked me to pay him $150 if I wanted to continue driving my Jeep. If I didn't pay, I couldn't drive my car(or "his car",as he often reminded me(所有权)).My dad was(and still is)a successful businessman,$150 was more than I usually made every month.I had to work harder. Although I was unhappy about my father's request,I always made sure to give him $150 on the first day of each month.
The day I graduated from high school,my dad pulled me into his office at our house for a talk.
"Kevin,"he gave me a white box and said,"here is your graduation present. To be honest,this is actually a present you gave yourself."I opened the box carefully,and almost started crying when I realized he just gave me $3,600! It was 24 car payments that he had saved for the last two years.Every payment I gave him went straight into this box.By asking me to pay him every month,how to use my money and how to be responsible.My dad is and will forever be the best man I have ever known.
Four years later he gave me the title to the Jeep,as my college graduation gift.
