Sometimes we come across a person who changes our whole perspective of life for the better. Last summer I met such a person. It was my uncle Marat. My parents sent me to my uncle on holidays. I was supposed to spend my whole summer holidays with him and his family. I haven't seen him before that summer, so that was the first time we have been introduced to each other. At first, I thought that it was going to be my worst holiday ever. I felt embarrassed of living with people I hardly knew and wanted to return home. But days passed and I got to know my uncle better.

Sometimes we come across a person who changes our whole perspective of life for the better. Last summer I met uncle Marat . My parents sent me to my uncle on holidays. I was supposed to spend my whole summer holidays with him and his family. And that was the first time we have been introduced to each other. At first, I thought that it was going to be my worst holiday ever. I felt embarrassed of living with people I hardly knew and wanted to return home but days passed and I got to know my uncle better.
Everyday we used to wake up early in the morning and go for fishing. We packed our bags with provision and went to the river. He taught me how to fish and then we sat together for hours, fishing. While fishing, he used to tell a lot of interesting stories based on his own life experience.
He told me stories about his student life, about his career, and about life in general. Once he asked me who I want to become and what I want to achieve in my life. I didn't know what to answer and never thought about it before. He told me that I should decide wisely so that in the end I would not regret about anything I have done. I told him that I don't know what I want to do. Then he told me that I should do only what am I interested . I remember his words, he said: "Don't care about money or prestige of your occupation. Just do what you really love." I started to list things which I love and began writing them to my diary. The whole summer I spent exploring myself and finally I decided that I want to connect my future with physics and architecture. So, I came to conclusion that I should study civil engineering. But this is not all what my uncle helped me. He also told me that I should be determined and persistent in achieving my goals. He often said that resolute determination is the truest wisdom. But I think the most important lesson I got from my uncle is to see only positive side in any occasion. One day, we didn't catch any fish and went home with empty hands. I looked at my uncle and noticed that he was smiling. I wondered why he was smiling as I didn't see any reasons to be happy. Then he said: "We didn't catch any fish, but we had a great time. I don't see any reasons to be unhappy." I admire his attitude. He is always grateful to everything he has and is truly happy.
Uncle Marat is the person who made an impact on my life. After that holiday I changed my lifestyle and attitude. I used to spend a lot of time in front of computer, playing games and surfing the net. Now I spend more time studying, playing football and going out with my friends. I learned a lot of things which were new to me. I became more serious, optimistic and mature. During the time I spent with him I also learned that no matter how smart I am or how much I know, there is always more to learn or experience. I'm grateful to him that he helped me to find out who I am and what I want.
