A
Before age thirty-four, I was a stay-at-home mom. Then, things changed and I had to find a job. I stumbled along with low- paying jobs, stress and self-doubt.
Three years later, while working at a community college, I became friends with the president's secretary. She encouraged me to take classes and get a teaching degree. I wrestled with the idea for several months and finally enrolled in one class that fall. To my amazement, I loved school. I loved learning. So, in the spring, I enrolled in two classes while working full-time. I doubled up on classes, even going in the summer months. I won't say it was easy. I still had all the responsibility for two teenage daughters, making my house a home, preparing meals, planning social events, making sure their homework was done, and finding time to do my own homework.
In one of my low moments, as I questioned whether to continue with my education, my fifteen-year-old daughter strolled into the room. "Whatcha doin " she asked casually." Trying to decide if I want to pursue my education and get a degree or not, I replied despondently（苦恼地). "Why are you wondering " she asked. "Well, I'll be forty by the time I finally get my degree." "You'll be forty anyway," she said matter-of-factly. "Do you wanna be forty with a degree or forty without a degree And then she walked out of the room. I stared after her incredulously（表示怀疑地). Out of the mouth of babes! In that moment, my life changed. I wanted to be forty with a college degree!
I don't know what got me to the finish line, but four months after my fortieth birthday, I walked proudly across the stage to receive my Bachelor's in Education. Three years later, I received my Master's in English. At the age of sixty-five, I retired from teaching high-school English. That one decision I made so many years ago opened doors to new worlds that I had never dreamed of before. It changed my life in the most beautiful way, filling it with joy, happiness, laughter and fun. And that made all the difference.

Christmas was coming."Don't expect any presents this year，" Dad said，pointing at the socks I hung in the living room."If your baby brother lives，that'll be Christmas enough." As he spoke，his eyes filled with tears.I'd never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning.Dad jumped out of bed to answer it.From my bedroom I heard him say，"What？He's all right？" He hung up and shouted upstairs."The hospital said we can bring Richard home！"
"Thank God！" I heard Mum cry.
From the upstairs window，I watched my parents rush out to the car.I had never seen them so happy.And I was also full of joy.What a wonderful day!My baby doll would be home.I ran downstairs.My socks still hung there flat.But I knew they were not empty；they were filled with love!
