When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items

When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad’s office.
“What are you doing at home?” I asked casually.
“Andrew, I was today,” he answered quietly.
I was sure he was joking. “No, you weren't. Why are you at home?”
Then I noticed his and realized he was telling me the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career. our family has been his joy, and I guess I have his work for granted.
My father’s unemployment many changes in our lives. For starters, he was at home all the time, which meant my bed had to be , my room cleaned up, and my done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer jobs. I began to notice how he seemed, and how losing his job affected his self-esteem, though he tried to be . For the first time, I my dad as vulnerable (易受伤的). He asked my brother and me to less. I gave up my pocket money, it wasn’t much. I felt I was doing the right. I also found a part-time job.
After several difficult months of searching, my dad to go in a totally different direction. He that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him it, and I admired how much time and he expended. I knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really affected me.
Although this was one of the experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity (逆境), and will be my foundations for success.
