The night of graduation, I was afraid. Two hundred people were sitting out there. I felt tense and I wanted to run away,   1   I couldn’t! After all, my own children were sitting in front of me with many other persons. I couldn’t be a coward(懦夫) before   2  .

When I ended the speech, I was    3   at the cheering. And I never forget the first time I received the cheering in my life.

Flowers arrived    4   my brothers and sister. My husband gave me silk roses. The reporters came with   5   and recorders and lots of questions. There were tears and hugs and congratulations.

Sometimes, I sit down and   6   the tape of my graduation speech. I hear myself say to the audience, “Don’t’ give up your   7   in life. Anything can happen if you believe. It means hard work, but   8   sure that you can do it, with God’s help.”

And then, I remember mother’s   9   to me , a young girl: “Hurry, Gin, you’ll be late for school.”

Yes, Mom, I was late   10   school, but it was sweeter for waiting. I only wish you and Dad could have been there to see your daughter and granddaughter in all their show and speech.
