It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son.Everybody
expects you to be special or perfect.I
often wonder how my
father ever had a son like me.I mean he’s so special and so good at
everything he does.Even
in middle school he was class president and captain of the football
team.
Well,to
be honest,I often dream about being some kind of hero or
doing something
special—like saving a
child from a burning building or discovering a new star.I
was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a
Father’s Day writing competition for the whole sch001.“I
hope we have a winner right here in my class.”
When
I got home,I started to think about what to write.My
father is an astronaut.N0,I
wouldn’t start like
that.That was the way others saw him.How
did I see my father? Hmm.
I
saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream.I
remembered how he
hugged me for hours
when my dog Spotty was killed by a car.Yes,these
were the things I
was going to
write.To me,he wasn’t just a world—famous astronaut.He
was my dad.
My
parents and l went to school Thursday night.There were so many
people in the big[来源:Z,xx,k.Com]
hall! My dad looked at
me,and I shrugged(耸肩).
The
third prize was announced and it was
not me.1
was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time.The
second prize was announced.It was me.
1
went up to the stage and read what I had written,“My father’s son”.When
I finished,the people stood up and cheered.I
saw my father blowing his nose.Tears were running down my mother's face.Dad
cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder.“Son,this
is the proudest moment
of my life.’’
It
was the proudest moment of my life,too.Maybe
I’ll never be a great hero or win a
Nobel Prize,but
it was enough just to be my father’s son.
