The simplest way to say it is this:I believe in my mother.My  31 began when 1 was just a kid . I 32 be coming a doctor.

My mother was a domestic.Through her work,she observed that  33 people spent a lot more time reading than they  34   watching television.She announced that my brother and I  35  watch two to three pre—selected TV programs during the week.  With our free time,we each had to read two books from the Detroit Public Library and  36 written book reports to her. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights.Years later we realized her marks were a  37 .My mother was a domestic

When I entered high school I was a(n)  38  ,but not for long.I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to 3the guys.I went from being an A -student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home from 40 her various jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said ,“Okay,I’ll give you all the money I make this week by scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms,  and you can buy 41  food and pay the bills.With everything  42 ,you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want.”I was very  43  with that arrangement,but once I got through allocating money,there was  44  left.I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to 45  our heads and any kind of food on the table, 46 buy clothes.I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn’t going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual preparation.I went back to my 47  and became an A-student again,and eventually I  48  my dream and became a doctor.

My story is really my mother’s story — a woman with  49  formal education or property who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe. There is no job  50 than parenting.This I believe .

Although I love my life, it hasn’t been a lot of fun as I’ve been ill for 28 years.

Music has always been a great love of mine and, in my 20s, when my  1 was more manageable , I 2  ten years as a professional singer in restaurants, playing and singing folk songs.  3  that was years ago and times have changed.  4  I live with mother on a country farm

Two years ago, I decided that I would need to have some kind of extra work to  5 my disability pension (残疾抚恤金).  6 I needed to sleep in the afternoons, I was limited in my  7  . I decided that I would consider 8  to singing in restaurants.

My family are all musicians, so I was  9 when I went into our local music store. I explained that I wanted to sing again but using recorded karaoke music. I knew that discs were very expensive and I really didn’t have a lot of  10  to get started. And 11  you find only three to four songs out of ten on a disc that you can  12  use.

When I told the owner of the shop about my  13  ; he gave me a long thoughtful   14  . “This means a lot to you, doesn’ t it?” he said. “Come with me.”

He led me  15 the crowded shop and to a bench with a large professional karaoke box on it. He placed his large hand 16 on his treasure and said, “I have 800 karaoke songs in here. You can take your 17 and I’ll record them for you. That should get you started.”

I  18  . Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose  19 that I could sing. I have come full circle with his help.

His  20 still warms my heart and makes me do just that bit extra, when I have the chance.
