I shook with cold on the sidelines as my high school soccer team played on. Snow began to fall and so the playing conditions(情况条件) 　31 .

　　 It was a close game so I knew there was 32 　chance of my entering the action. I saw only 8 few audience --including my mom -- 33 　 the field. How I wanted t0 　34 　a goal for her, or for my coach to praise my sports ability in her　 35 　. But instead, I never played - - that day or many other days. My mom was 　 36 　to this. I wasn't much of a baseball player either. On the way home and feeling 　37　 about her coming "for nothing", I told her she shouldn't have　 38 　to come. She replied, "I had to. " And, when I asked her why, she 　39 　said, "Because you were there. "

　　 Now, after many years as a parent, I've come t0 　40_ many of the sacrifices(牺牲) that both of my parents, 　41 my mom suffered. With age comes intelligence. Almost thirty years later, I can easily 42 why my mom spent so many autumn afternoons standing on the sidelines during my 43 high school career. This was a good 44 　 I'd come to follow when I became a father. My children came first. And my willingness t0 45 　different activities of their lives often 　46　 me.

　　 With time going by, I began to realize that 　47 　I'd evenbecome a father, my education in how to be a good parent had already begun -- the　 48 　 0f the unconditional(无条件的) love, guidance and example set by my 　49 . So many valuable lessons were being 　50　 during my childhood, making me a good father. I'm no longer surprised by my willingness.

　　During my ninth-grade year, I suffered from “anorexia nervosa”. It was not enough to be thin. I had to be the thinnest. Now, however, fully recovered, I can reflect back and realize that my wishes were more complex than fitting into size five pants. Many of my hidden emotions were related to my relationship with my father. As I was growing up, his work always came first. Sometimes I would not see him for up to two weeks. Not only did he devote his whole self to his work, but he expected me to do the same (“You cannot get anywhere unless you go to the best universities!”). Though, consciously, I never felt pressure to please him, I began dieting after the first time he told me I looked fat.　　

　　At the time, all I knew was that I had to be thin―thinner than anyone else. Every month my father went to Europe for a week or so and on the days he left, sorrow and emptiness swallowed me: Daddy was leaving. Then, I turned to focus on a mysterious weakness―a helpless childlike emotion that came from starving. I liked to know that I needed to be taken care of; maybe Daddy would take care of me.

Now, two years later and thirty-eight pounds heavier, I have come to realize that I cannot change my father’s inability to express his feelings. Instead, I must accept myself. I know that I am a valuable person who struggles to achieve and accomplish. But I cannot struggle solely for others. By starving, I attempted to gain pride in myself by obtaining my father’s approval or acknowledgment of my value as a person. But the primary approval must come from me, and I feel secure now that I can live with that knowledge safely locked in my mind.
