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 monitor 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 One morning my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole school．“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. No, 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 famous astronaut. He was my dad．

My parents and l went to school Thursday night. There were so many people in the big 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(失望) at the same time. The second prize was announced. it was me. I went up to the stage and read what I had written，“My father’s son”．When I finished，Dad 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.

One of my father’s favourite sayings as I was growing up was “Try it!” I couldn’t       I didn’t like everything. Whatever it might be, until after I       it. Over the years I’ve come to     I ought to thank him. My      job was just one I decided to try for a few years until I made up my mind to do as a career(职业).      I believed I would work for several years, get married, stay at home, and raise a family, so I        think the job I took mattered that much. I didn’t like the work that would take much of my time. I tried not to make any mistakes. I began to control some basic skills and I was given the chance to move up through the company into different       . I       each new chance with the thought. “ Well, I’ll try it. If I don’t like it , I can always go back to my       position(位置). ” But I was with the same company for the past 28 years. And I’ve   every career change I’ve made. I have discovered I    a large number of different talents and skills that I am never     trying new chances. I have also discovered that if I   what I am doing and work hard at achieving my       , I will succeed. That’s    I am so excited to be a part of Career Fables ,com. I think time has come and I am determined to make it a success.
