Question

The night of graduation, I was afraid. Two hundred people were sitting out there. I felt tense and I wanted to run away,  36  I couldn’t! After all, my own children were sitting in front of me with many other persons. I couldn’t be a coward(懦夫) before  37 .

When I ended the speech, I was  38  at the cheering. And I never forget the first time I received the cheering in my life.

Flowers arrived  39  my brothers and sister. My husband gave me silk roses. The reporters came with   40 and recorders and lots of questions. There were tears and hugs and congratulations.

Sometimes, I sit down and   41  the tape of my gaduation speech. I hear myself say to the audience, “Don’t’ give up your   42  in life. Anything can happen if you believe. It means hard work, but  43  sure that you can do it, with God’s help.”

And then, I remember mother’s   44  to me , a young girl: “Hurry, Gin, you’ll be late for school.”

Yes, Mom, I was late  45  school, but it was sweeter for waiting. I only wish you and Dad could have been there to see your daughter and granddaughter in all their show and speech.
