It’s not easy to be a scientist’s son. Everybody expects you to be special or perfect.
Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Mother’s Day writing competition for the whole school “I hope we have a winner right here in my class.”
When I got home, I started to think about what to write. “My mother is a scientist.” N0, I wouldn’t start like that. That was the way others saw her. How did I see my mother? Hmm, I saw her sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream. I remembered how she hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me, she wasn’t just a world—famous scientist. She was my mom.
My parents and I went to school Thursday night. The third prize was announced(宣布) and it was not me. The second prize was announced. It was me!
I went up to the stage and read what I had written, “My mother’s son”. When I finished, the people stood up and cheered. Tears were running down my mother’s face. I saw my father blowing his nose. He cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder, “Son, this is the proudest moment of my life.’’
It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my mother’s son.
