 Describe a time when you received money as a gift.

Well, When we are having some particular occasion with our family or friends, it is extremely common to see us share money as a present. It is considered a kind of gratitude. 

I was gifted with some expensive gadgets like iPhone, laptop, and smartwatch as well. Nevertheless, now I am going to tell you about when I was surprised by a considerable amount of money. 

My sister is the one who is giving me money all the time. If my memory serves me right, She has been giving me money since my 16th Birthday. Not only that She has spent more money on my Wedding. When I was 24 years old I got married and on that day my sister came to Srilanka even without informing me of her coming. I was like over the moon as I consider her as my better half in my entire life. Always she had wanted me to be happy and satisfied. I would say the amount was 10 lakh and she wanted me to buy what I have a desire badly. 

Further, When I got it I was like sitting on the fence thinking about rather I save money or spend it on buying what I loved. Gradually I decided to buy what I wanted those days. I was fond of wearing a diamond and I have told it with my sister. I bought it and I have been wearing it as an elegant pendant. Everyone admires the beauty of the stone and I feel lucky to wear it. Because you know people hardly wear diamonds. I am totally aware diamonds are not everyone’s cup of tea but mine. 

This gift was the best thing I have ever got in my life and whenever I see this diamond it reminds me how valuable me for my sister. I will be never forgotten such a beautiful bond that I have with me and my gorgeous sister.
