Sample:

I still remember the day when I was left alone at home. I carelessly broke the vase, which was much treasured by my father. When he came back, I was so fearful that I didn't tell the truth. The cat was my excuse. My father said nothing, but I could read his distrust .The next morning, after a restless night, I admitted to my father that it was my fault. I saw relief in his eyes. He smiled to me. From then on, I never told lies. My honesty won me great trust from others, which benefited my growth a lot. The accident or exactly the “crack” forced me to mind my behavior.

It is the" crack "that is reminding me all the time that I have a long way to go. With the light through the crack I can see the road ahead clearly.
