A Love Note To My Mom
When I was a little girl, would often accompany you as you modeled for fashion photographers. It was years later that finally understood what role modeling 16 in your life. Little did I known you were 17 every penny you earned to go to 18 school.
I cannot thank you enough for 19 you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework. I wanted into the dining where you were buried 20 piles of law books. I was 21 .Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for 22 ?When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t known. Moms 23 be lawyers too. You smiled and said,“In life, you can do anything you want to do.”
As young as I was ,that statement kept 24 in my ears. I watched as you faced the 25 of completing your studies, staring companies with Dad, while still being a 26 and a Mom if five kids. I was exhausted just watching you 27 .With your words of wisdom in my 28 mind, I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream. My whole world 29 .I set out to live my life filled with 30 ,seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.
Your words became my motto. I 31 found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary) 32 one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said , “Yes, I’ll try that.”
Encouraged by your 33 , I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and 34 meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m 35 it. Sorry, got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.
