    Time and time again, one may be warned, “Your name will be mud.” Many have used the expression in the mistaken belief that it has something to do with the kind of dirt found in the streets or on unclean river bottoms．But the expression comes from the name of Doctor Samuel Alexander Mudd, a physician who fixed the broken leg of John Wilkes Booth, the man who killed President Abraham Lincoln．Doctor Mudd treated Booth’s injured leg without knowing who he was.

It’s round in the center with two silver bands that go around my wrist. And all of it is made of silver. This 4tells me the importance of time in my life.
I received this 5on a gray-sky day. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 am to 6up my uncle Ali and take him to my father’s house 7, I was late because I was 8out with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 am, I9my uncle, but I was very10for him. He had 11the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.
I got to my father’s house at 2:00 pm on the same day and looking at my angry father’s face I felt12of myself at that moment. After I said hi to my 13father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him where he handed me this watch as a gift from him. Then he said, “Essa, did you have 14with your friends today?” I answered, “Yes, father, and I’m sorry about not picking up my uncle Ali.” He said, “What you 15was not very nice and you should be sorry for your 16.” I was ashamed and said, “Father, I’11 never do it again, I promise.” He said, “I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a 17for you.” He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my18.
