Dad was not only my best friend, but my compass (指南针). While he was alive, he
36 me with his actions and advice. He taught me one important
37 : “Believe in yourself.”
If there was one phrase my dad
38 liked to hear, it was “I can’t.” He never got to finish high school and
39 two jobs to support his large family,
40 he never complained. Through education and years of hard work, my dad became an excellent journalist.
When I was in high school, I had a
41 time with math. He tried to help me, but I
42 struggled. So my math teacher suggested I meet with him at 7:00 each morning before school for
43 help. I told Dad, “That’s
44 ! I’m tired! I can’t do that!” He replied, “You’re doing it. I’ll send you to school.” Every morning at 6:45, we’d leave the
45 . Despite (尽管) working 12 hours every day, Dad never once
46 driving me to school.
After months of
47 , I was facing the final exam. I was so
48 . On the day of the final, my dad hugged me and said, “Luke,
49 yourself. You can do it.” His words made me realize I needed to trust in my
50 and in the hours of work I’d
51 . When I got my
52 proudly, the first person I called was my father. He cried, “Yes! You deserved it!”
Even now, whenever I
53 that a task is too much for me, I think back to that exam. No matter how
54 something is, if you’re willing to work, you can succeed. I’m forever
55 to Dad for that lesson.
