Well, Let me talk about a time when I got money as a gift. It happened when I was in 5th grade. Back then, I was really hopeless at Math. I just couldn't understand it, and I felt hopeless.

One day, my dad came to me with an idea. He said, "If you get a good score on your final Math exam, I'll give you some money. You can use it to buy that games console you've been wanting." This made me really excited. I really wanted that console!

So, I decided to work hard on my Math. I spent more time studying and practicing. I asked my teacher for extra help after school. I even did extra Math problems at home. It wasn't easy, but I kept trying.

When the day of the exam came, I was nervous but ready. I took my time and did my best. A week later, we got our results. I couldn't believe it - I got an A! I was so happy and proud of myself.

My dad was really pleased too. He kept his promise and gave me the money. I was able to buy the games console I wanted so much. But you know what? I realized something even more important.

I learned that if I really try hard and put my heart into something, I can do well. This made me feel more confident. I started to believe in myself more. And you know what else? I actually started to like Math! It wasn't so scary anymore.

After that, I did better in all my subjects. I knew that if I worked hard, I could improve. This experience taught me a lot about not giving up and believing in myself.

So, that's the story of when I got money as a gift. It wasn't just about the money or the games console. It was about learning that I could do anything if I really tried. And that's a lesson I've never forgotten.

For me, the times that I receive cash, as a prize, would possibly be the time on the Tet holidays, where I can get lots of money from my loved ones. This is some what a kind of annual money that I will receive whenever new year comes. And for me, I would put some of these in my piggy-bank, and the remaining will be for my necessities, like food and clothing, or maybe on random stuffs which I find adorable. But..there was only one Tet that really stood out particularly. It was when I was 6 years old, when my grandmother gave me a US $50.

Getting that $50, I was absolutely over-joyed. I immediately put it into my 'treasure box' which was used to contain all of my precious stuffs. At that age, with a curious and adventurous mind, I was really grateful to get a different currency from the VND that I use everyday; and this also made me aware of how different types of money are used by individuals around the world.

For me, I haven't really thought about other currencies, financial problems, its intricacy and how money work; since I'm a secondary-schooler, and money is an issue which is out of my reach. Obviously, I don't have enough knowledge to think and to speak about this problem. But yes, I still feel something about it, though, and it's a feeling of love, gratitude, and hope. I'm appreciative that my grandmother gave me that $50 and thought I could succeed. I experience love because I enjoy learning about different nations, their currencies, and their hidden histories. Looking at it gives me hope because something inside of me tells me to be brave, work hard, and conquer obstacles in order to achieve "success" and become "successful."

Although receiving money as a gift can be pleasant, the memories and experiences are what will forever be genuinely priceless. This $50 isn't just a piece of cash, it's a thing which inspires me, encourages me to go through hardness. It's just like a reminder, telling me to remember my grandmother's efforts, and to focus on developing myself. This piece of cash has also helped me realize how important it is to spend time with loved ones and make memories, rather than simply acquiring things.

I want to talk about when I received money as a gift. It was a time when I was awful at math, and I didn’t want to learn this subject anymore. As a motivation, my brother told me that if I get a good grade on the next test, he will give me money to buy my favorite game console. I worked hard daily, sitting at my desk with my calculator, notebook, and textbook, working through the problems and reviewing my notes. I realized that it isn’t easy to stay motivated, but I knew that the more I practice, the better results I will get. Sometimes I felt discouraged and frustrated, but I didn’t give up. I needed to drink lots of coffee and wake up early. I began to see the progress after a hard time studying. Concepts that previously confused me started to make sense. The test day had come, I felt stressed and impatient, but my anxiety disappeared when I thought about the gift. My confidence grew, and I started to believe that I could pass this exam. When the result came out, I felt elated because the time I spent was worth the dedication I put in. The reward was meaningful and well-deserved. After this, I learned that resilience and patience are necessary for success.

I mostly receive money as a gift when the Tet holiday comes, but there was a time when I got money as a gift on my 9th birthday, the person who gave me that money was a relative from Australia, she gave me one million and because she doesn't know what I am interested about, so she just gave me the money in an envelope. After receiving the money, my mom and I decided to shop at Cresent Mall. In the early morning, I was so hyped about it that I woke up at 4:00 am and couldn't fall back to sleep, so I ended up reading all of the books in my bedroom as well as brushing my teeth, until my mom woke up, she told me we are leaving in ten minutes, so I put on my best dress and combed my hair, then, me and my mom left the house. After we had breakfast, which was a sandwich bought at Circle K with some juice, I finally arrived at the mall. When I walked into the shop, I quickly rushed to the stuffed animal section and the first thing I saw was a baby fox and a mother fox sitting together, so I decided to purchase it right away. Me and my mom spent the afternoon together, then we got home and I put all of the change in my piggy bank. This was one of my happy memories that I still cherish until this day, and, that is the first time I ever recieved money as a gift!
