Tears Will Not Solve Any Problems

I have been strong enough to face difficulties since I paid twice for a computer on Thanksgiving Day. I decided to buy a really cost-effective computer on sale at Wal-Mart on Thanksgiving night. Then grandma and I went to the Wal-Mart in the afternoon and waited there for a whole cold night till 5 am on the next morning. Fortunately, I got it easily. When I paid at the checkout counter, I swiped the credit card and signed for it. But the cashier didn't allow me to use the credit card without ID or driver's license. I was grateful to my grandma who took cash. When I arrived home, I called my mother I already bought the computer. “Yeah! I received the message from the bank! It is 4** dollars! Right?” my mother said. “Message from the bank?” I had signed! I realized that I had paid it for twice. Oh my god! How stupid I am! I explained the whole event to my mother and started to cry. “Listen! Don't cry! Tears will not solve any problems! You’re not a child any more. Now what you need to do is go back to the Wal-Mart and tell them the problem. Come on girl!” I tried to stop crying and went back to the store. I knew that no one would help me because my grandma couldn't speak English at all. I talked to an employee with spasmodic sobs. After I explained to him that the cashier asked for my ID after I signed up and showed him the receipt for the computer. I was afraid that he couldn't understand. But he smiled to me and comforted me that it’s nothing serious. After half an hour, the problem was solved perfectly. I called my mother and told her that I solved the problem. “I knew you could do it! Don't dwell on it! Remember the first thing you ought to do is not crying. I believe in you!” my mother said as if she already knew that I had learned my lesson. I know that tears will not solve any problem. I must be stronger and stronger to face life’s difficult challenges.
