After seating myself in my room and turning on my computer, I noticed a Post-it note stuck to my monitor(显示器). It read, “Don’t 36 your computer. You stayed up until midnight doing your homework last night.—Mom.” I 37 the note into the wastebasket. “Why do they 38 ?” I thought. “They’re never here anyway.”
Right after high school started, I almost 39 contact with my parents. With all their business 40 , they asked the neighbors to watch over me. Of course, the neighbors didn’t do such a(n) 41 job, as they had kids of their own to worry about. The only means of 42 between me and my parents was through Post-it notes.
After spending about eight hours away from home, I usually came home to find the house 43 empty. It made me sad. I would come home from school to be welcomed by 44 , to talk to no one and to be watched over by my neighbors. That was when I started 45 more clubs and staying after school more often 46 I didn’t have to feel so lonely. Luckily, at school, my friends were there 47 me. They were all there to give me a 48 or talk with me when I wanted to talk. I felt 49 when I was at school. Yet, something was still 50 — my parents.
Now I realize that nobody can 51 my parents. I wish that they would be there at home, 52 me to come back from school. There are 53 things my parents don’t know about me. I wish that they actually had a(n) 54 to understand me. I want them to understand that they’re my parents and I’m their kid and I 55 them.
