In early autumn I applied for applied for admission to college. I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University,but my mother fought strongly againsnst it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell,she tore it up.
You cant say its not a great university,just because Papa went there.
Thats not it at all.And it is a top university.She was still holding the pieces in her hand. But we cant afford to send you to college.
I wouldnt dream of asking you for money.Do you want me to get a job to help suppont you and Papa?Things arent that bad,are they?
No,she said. I dont expect you to help support us.
Father borrowed money form his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop,His chief customers were his old college friends.To get new customers,my mother had to help.She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women,so that she cound get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my Parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资) could show returns.Whats more ,they had not wanted enough to be roch and successful ;otherwise they cound not possibly have managed their lives so badly.
I was torn between the desave to help them and change,their lives,and the determinstion not to repeat their mistakes.I had a strong belief in my power to go what I wanted.After months of hard study I won a full college scholarship(奖学金).My father could hardly contain his pride in me,and my mother eventually gave in before my success.
