A Love Note to My Mom

When I was a little girl, I would often accompany you as you modeled (T台展示) for fashion photographers. It was years later that I finally understood what role modeling   36   in your life. Little did I know you were   37   every penny you earned to go to   38   school.

I cannot thank you enough for   39   you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I wandered into the dining room where you were buried   40   piles of law books. I was   41  . Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for   42   ? When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t know Moms   43   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   44   in my ears. I watched as you faced the   45   of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a   46   and a Mom of five kids. I was exhausted just watching you       47  . With your words of wisdom in my   48   mind, I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream. My whole world  49  . I set out to live my life filled with  50  , seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.

Your words became my motto. I   51   found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary)   52   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   53  , I have forged ahead(毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and   54   meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m   55   it. Sorry, got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.
