My parents operated a small restaurant in Seattle. It was open twenty-four hours a day, six days a week. And my first real job,when I was six years old,was   36    the diners’ shoes. My father had done it when he was young,so he taught me   37    to do it efficiently(有效地),telling me to   38    to re-shine(再擦亮) the shoes if the customer wasn’t    39  .

Working in the restaurant was a cause of great   40   because I was also working for the good of the family. But my father   41   that I had to meet certain standards(标准) to be part of the team. I   42   to be punctual(守时的),hard-working,and polite to the    43  .

How about you paying me for three meals a day you have here? And for the times you bring    46   your friends for free soft drinks?” He   47    I owed him about $40 a week.

And full of pride,I walked into my parents’ restaurant,but the   49   thing Dad said was,“How about your   50   up tonight?” I couldn’t   51   my ears! I am an officer in the Army!

Last year, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, DC. I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?”
When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. Immediately, I pulled out all of my change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”
In an instant, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice—I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself.
The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister. Through the years, I have been a doorkeeper, cashier and pizza delivery driver among many other humble (卑微的) jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer.
In my own life, I have experienced prejudice. I remember a time—at the age of 17 —when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in 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, where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the streets cured me of my blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility (谦虚). By the way, I helped that lady to the post office. I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.
