“Where would we be right now if I did not have the restaurant? How else would I be able to provide for our family? Who give me, a man without 36 ，a job?” My father 37 say these things on our car rides to the stores that supply our 38.
He would tell me stories of long, hard hours spent 39 in the hot kitchen and helping all the 40. Now I 41 late on weekends to welcome him， 42 that he will tell me something 43 .He always knows how to inspire me. I could never understand 44 he grew to be so wise without even having the opportunity to complete high school.
“Make sure you get a job 45 you have to wear a tie!” he’d always say with a smile. They were like a paintbrush(画笔) that began 46 this beautiful picture in my head that I have entitled(有资格的)my 47 in life.
My father has worked day in and day out，with few days off, for 20 years, never 48 .He would explain how this is 49 he had to do to make my 50 better. My father worked hard so that I 51 go to the best schools. He worked to supply me with 52 that would provide a job where I had to wear a tie.
My father is a 53 in which I can only hope to catch a reflection(反省)of myself. He is the one I strive to model myself after.  54 , when I make a great name for myself as a doctor, someone will ask, “Where did you get such a great work ethic (道德) ?”
“My father!” I’ ll say, adjusting(调整) my  55 and I’ ll smile.
