Question

　　　 A Love Note to My Mom

When I was a little girl, I would often accompany you as you modeled (T臺展示) 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 you were 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.
