The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother.
My mother was a servant. Through her work, she found that 1 people spent a lot more time reading than watching TV. She announced(宣布) that my brother and I could 2 watch two TV programmes during the week. We had to read two books each and 3 book reports. She would mark them with checks(钩号). Years later we realized her 4 were a trick. My mother was a person unable to read.
When I entered high school, I was a(n) 5 student, but not for long. I wanted fancy clothes. I wanted to 6 the cool guys. I went from being an A-student to a C-student. One night my mother 7 her jobs and came home early to talk to me. I complained about not having Italian 8. She said, "Okay, take all the money I make this week and buy 9 food and pay the bills. With everything left over, you can have the Italian shirts you want." I was very 10 to hear her words. But once I got through allocating(分配) money, there was 11 left. At that time, I realized how difficult it was for my mother to 12 our family. I also realized that fancy clothes weren't going to get me anywhere. I went back to my 13 and became an A-student again. Now I've become a doctor that I always dreamed of.
My story is really my mother's story. 14 she's a woman with little education or money, she used her wisdom as a parent to 15 my life. There is no job more important than parenting. This is what I believe in.
