The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My 小题1:  began when I was just a kid. I 小题2: becoming a doctor. My mother was a worker. Through her work, she observed that 小题3: people spent a lot more time reading than they 小题4:  watching television. She announced that my brother and I

小题5:watch two to three TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and then 小题6: her written book reports. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a 小题7:  . My mother was illiterate (文盲的).

When I entered high school I was an A-student, but not for long. I 小题8:  the fashionable clothes. I wanted to 小题9: the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home after 小题10:  at one of her several jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I make this week scrubbing (擦洗) floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy 小题11:   food and pay the bills.

Finally, I 小题18: my dream and I became a doctor. My story is really my mother’s story — a woman with 小题19: formal education who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe. Now I believe that there is no job more 小题20:  than parenting.
