文摘 世界上再没有比为人父母更伟大的工作了。我从母亲身上,就可以看到这一点。我想成为一名医生,这个梦想在我孩提时就已产生。母亲做过佣人。她在工作中发现,成功的人会用更多的时间看书,而不是看电视。因此母亲规定,我和哥哥每周只能看预先挑选的两三个节目。空闲时,母亲会让我们阅读从底特律公共图书馆借来的书,并写心得交给她。她会在上面做出审核过的各种标记。多年后,我们才意识到那是母亲的计策。其实她几乎不识字,受教育水平也仅仅是小学三年级。尽管我们很穷,但是在书的每一页中我可以畅游世界,体验任何事,了解各种人的各方面生活。刚踏人中学时,我是A等生,然而没多久,我就开始对奇装异服情有独钟,还常常和一帮男孩在校园里瞎混。很快,我就从A等生下滑到B等生,最终退到c等生,但我并不在乎这些。身边的人有支持我的,有泼冷水的,也有安慰我的。我觉得自己很酷。一天晚上,做了多份工作的母亲疲倦地回到家。我向她抱怨说没有一件好的意大利针织衫。 There is no job more important than parenting. I can find the answer from my mother . My belief began when I was just a kid. I dreamed of becoming a doctor. My mother was a domestic. Through her work, she observed that successful people spent a lot more time reading than they did watching television. She announced that my brother and I could only watch two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and submit to her written book reports.She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a ruse. My mother was illiterate. She had only received a third-grade education. Although we had no money, between the covers of those books, I could go anywhere, do anything and be anybody. When I entered high school I was an A student, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to hang out with the guys.
