If I was prepared with my small space heater, I would’ve froze to death from how cold the winter weather was in this city
My father taught me to always be prepared. I’ve carried this motto with me throughout life. I am the type of person that looks at a menu online before going to a restaurant and chooses my meal in order to be prepared. Some say that I’m over the top, but I think I’m efficient. This mentality has saved me from numerous uncomfortable situations. For example, I moved into the city last year. I was hours away from home and it was my first time being so far away from my family. I was nervous, but I knew my father had raised me well and I could handle the city life. A few months after moving in my new apartment, the winter season had started. I was happy to see some snow until my heater decided to turn off. My landlord was out of town for a few weeks, so I couldn’t get anyone over to fix my broken heater. Luckily, I took my dad’s advice and was prepared with a small space heater in case anything like this happened. This little space heater was my saving grace. It was somehow powerful enough to keep my entire apartment warm. Now I should mention that my apartment is quite small, but I was rarely impressed. If I was prepared with my small space heater, I would’ve froze to death from how cold the winter weather was in this city. It’s moments like these that prove it’s better to be safe than sorry! This is why I’ll never stop preparing for the worst. I keep myself safe this way. I am beyond thankful that my dad raised me to be this way.
