B
My name is Mike, and I was born in a very poor neighbourhood in Los Angeles. When I was little, my father died and my mother took care of my brother and me alone. She had to take two jobs so that we could have food, clothes, and a place to live in. She was great. We loved her and were thankful for her.
Every day, she usually arrived home very late, and she was tired. Still, she always cooked nice meals for us, played with us, and made sure that we did our homework. She always told us how important it was to get a good education. "I couldn't finish school because I was too poor. That's why I must work so hard now, but I make so little money," she often said.
Most children in our neighbourhood were very rude, so it wasn't easy to be a good student in our neighbourhood. The other children hated you if you got good grades, so I wasn't very popular. The only good thing about living in that place was that you needed to be very clever to survive (生存), and that helped me later in life.
Finally, my brother and I could finish high school. I went to university because I was a very good basketball player. On the day of my graduation (毕业), my mother was in tears. And she was in tears again when I showed her our new flat. It's very hard to get out of poor environment, but thanks to my mum, I did it. Now she doesn't have to do two jobs anymore, and I will take care of her.
