Stepping into the new school year, also the final year of my elementary school, my parents bought me a very beautiful and sturdy bookshelf, helping me cultivate the habit of tidiness in my small study corner.
My bookshelf is a standing rectangular shape with a height of about 150cm, a width of about 120cm, and a depth of about 20-25cm. The bookshelf is divided into 3 tiers, the bottom tier being a cabinet with two closing doors, where I usually keep souvenir gifts, my backpack, and study materials. The two upper tiers are designed as compartments with different sizes, where I place comic books, textbooks, or the scientific books I enjoy reading. Although I've been using the bookshelf for about two years, it still looks shiny like new, the brown-red wood paint remains glossy without any dust, the bookshelf is firmly fixed on the wall, enduring through time it still stands still, witnessing my study and activities.
I cherish this bookshelf very much, always arranging books neatly, regularly dusting, and never sticking or scribbling on the surface of the bookshelf.
