A Love Note To My Mom

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.
