The night of graduation, I was afraid. Two hundred people were sitting out there. I felt tense and I wanted to run away,
36 I couldn’t! After all, my own children were sitting in front of me with many other persons. I couldn’t be a coward(懦夫) before
37 .
When I ended the speech, I was
38 at the cheering. And I never forget the first time I received the cheering in my life.
Flowers arrived
39 my brothers and sister. My husband gave me silk roses. The reporters came with
40 and recorders and lots of questions. There were tears and hugs and congratulations.
Sometimes, I sit down and
41 the tape of my gaduation speech. I hear myself say to the audience, “Don’t’ give up your
42 in life. Anything can happen if you believe. It means hard work, but
43 sure that you can do it, with God’s help.”
And then, I remember mother’s
44 to me , a young girl: “Hurry, Gin, you’ll be late for school.”
Yes, Mom, I was late
45 school, but it was sweeter for waiting. I only wish you and Dad could have been there to see your daughter and granddaughter in all their show and speech.
