When I looked at the grade on my math paper, my jaw (下巴) almost dropped to the ground: a big “65” in bright red ink. I had never received such a terrible grade before.
1.I told him I got 85 and that the report wouldn’t come until the end of the month. Dad smiled. His daughter would never lie about her grade, so he didn’t doubt the unusual delay (延迟) of my report.
A month later, Dad casually (随意地) asked me again about the report at the dinner table. He looked right into my eyes and askd for an answer. 2. I had lied because I didn’t want to let him down.
For a moment, he just looked at me. I would have preferred a telling off than that silence. Finally, Dad said, in a hurt voice,“You have already let me down, with your lie. I am not disappointed at your math score. That is no big deal—no one can be perfect all the time. But I am very disappointed in you. 3.It’s much easier to achieve a better grade than rebuild someone else’s trust in you.”
Dad’s words touched my heart. I couldn’t forgive myself for having hurt his feelings. I took out the report that I had been hiding for weeks, handed to him and apologized, sincerely. I realized that my honesty is not only important to me personally, but to those around me that trully care about my well-being.
