题目内容
9.A few years ago,I took a sightseeing trip to Washington D.C.I saw many of our nation's treasures,and I also saw a lot of unfortunate people like beggars and homeless folks(人们)in the streets.Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center,I heard a voice say,"Can you help me?"When I turned around,I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended(伸出).In a natural reaction,I reached into my pocket,pulled out all of my loose change and placed it in her hand.I didn't even look at her.I was annoyed(生气) at being bothered(烦) by a beggar.
But the blind woman smiled and said,"I don't want your money.I just need help finding the post office."
Immediately,I realized what I had do ne.I acted with prejudice(偏见)-I judged another person simply for what I thought she was.
The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant.I left Honduras and arrived in America at the age of 15.Through the years,I have been a dishwasher,cashier,mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other jobs,and finally I became a network engineer.
In my own life,I have experienced many open acts of prejudice.I remember a time,at age 17-I was a busboy,and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well at school,he would end up like me.
But now,living in my American middle-class lifestyle,it is too easy to forget my past,to forget who I am and where I have been,and to lose sight of where I want to be going.That blind woman on the street of Washington D.C.cured(治愈) me of my blindness.She reminded me to always keep my eyes and heart open.
