“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you can
41 on, one day something good will happen. And you’ll
42 that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college. I had designed myself for a
43 announcer(播音员). So I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station and got
44 every time.
In one station, a kind lady told me that
45 stations wouldn’t risk employing a person without
46 since I had just graduated. “Go out in the town and find a small station that might give you a chance,” she said.
I returned to Dixon,
47 I had finished my high school education and had
48 in the school football team. My father said that our town had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to
49 its sports department(部门). The job sounded just
50 for me but I wasn’t hired.
My
51 had shown as if by design. “Everything happens for the best,” Mum
52 me. Dad offered me his car to job hunt. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport. The program director told me they had already hired a/an
53 .
54 I left his office, my frustration boiled over(发怒).I asked aloud, “
55 can a fellow get to be a sports announcer
56 he can’t get a job in a radio station?”
Suddenly, I heard the director
57 .“What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to
58 an imaginary game.
It was easy, and I did it without difficulty. The director was
59 and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the
60 Saturday.
