The simplest way to say it is this：I believe in my mother．My  31 began when 1 was just a kid . I 32 be coming a doctor．

My mother was a domestic．Through her work，she observed that  33 people spent a lot more time reading than they  34   watching television．She announced that my brother and I  35  watch two to three pre—selected TV programs during the week．  With our free time，we each had to read two books from the Detroit Public Library and  36 written book reports to her. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights．Years later we realized her marks were a  37 ．My mother was a domestic

When I entered high school I was a(n)  38  ，but not for long．I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to 39 the guys．I went from being an A -student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home from 40 her various jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said ,“Okay，I’ll give you all the money I make this week by scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms，  and you can buy 41  food and pay the bills．With everything  42 ，you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want．”I was very  43  with that arrangement，but once I got through allocating money，there was  44  left．I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to 45  our heads and any kind of food on the table， 46 buy clothes．I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn’t going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual preparation．I went back to my 47  and became an A-student again，and eventually I  48  my dream and became a doctor.

My story is really my mother’s story — a woman with  49  formal education or property who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe. There is no job  50 than parenting．This I believe .
