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.
