The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My ____ began when I was just a kid. I ____ becoming a doctor.
My mother was a domestic. Through her work, she observed that ____ people spent a lot more time reading than they ____ watching television. She announced that my brother and I ____ 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 ____ to her written book reports. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a ____. My mother was illiterate.
When I entered high school I was a(n) ____, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to ____ the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home and I ____ about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, "Okay, I'll give you all the money make this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy food for ____ and pay the bills. With everything ____ , you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want. "I was very ____ with that arrangement but once I got through allocating money, there was ____ left. I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to ____ our heads and any kind of food on the table, and to live a better life. I also realized that ____ satisfaction wasn't going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual preparation. I went back to my ____ and became an A-student again, and eventually I ____ my dream and I became a doctor.
My story is really my mother's story -- a woman with ____ formal education or property who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around. There is no job ____ than parenting. This is what I believe in.
