I should say I owe my success to my mother. My belief began when I was just a kid. I 1 becoming a doctor.

My mother was a servant. Through her work, she found that 2 people spent a lot more time reading than they 3 watching television. She told my brother and me to watch only two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week. In our free time, we had to read two books from the Detroit Public Library and 4 written book reports to her. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a trick because my mother was uneducated.

When I entered high school I was an A-student,but not for 5 . I wanted the brightly coloured clothes and I wanted to hang out with the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home from 6 her various jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I 7 this week by scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy the family food and pay the bills. With everything paid off, you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want.” I was very 8 with that arrangement but once I got through allocating (分配) money, there was 9 left.

I realized my mother was a great woman to be able to keep a roof over our heads and any kind of food on the table, let alone buy clothes. I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn’t going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual preparation. I went back to my 10 and became an A-student again, and at last I 11 my dream and I became a doctor.

My mother is a woman with 12 formal education or property who used her position as a parent to change the lives of her children. There is no job more important than parenting.
