Still without a father to tell me how to act and what was expected of me , I felt lost-I wandered for years and got involved with tough guys on the East Side of New York. They would fight madly over a dropped coin. They would steal to get what they wanted. I wanted to be 1ike them. It was lucky for me that I left the city and entered a world of discipline ,after following my mothers advice- During three years of military service ,I had time to rethink my life ,and my thoughts often ran to my mother. I realized suddenly just how much of a headache I must have been to her, how little I had noticed her suffering-When my father left this world, my mother was completely alone. To support us, my mother cleaned apartments and took in washing and ironing from the neighbors. And as she worked hard at this labor, she kept her head high. Each week she would bring a pile of books home from the library and read to us. My mother had wanted nothing more, than for me to mm into an honest responsible man. But I had acted against her. Finally, almost too late I had the sense to feel shame.Ten years passed and I returned to the apartment on the East Side-I hew I wouldnt fall back in with the wrong people, although I still wasnt sure where I was heading. My mother, I could tell, was worried about me. In my neighborhood ,to become a police officer or a firefighter was a mark of significant social success and achievement- For me it was an opportunity for a real start in life-I wondered if I was up to it, but E hew that it was time to try. When I found myself in the big hall raising my hands to take the firefighters oath( 誓言 )of office ,my mother was sitting a fey rows behind with a smile of relief. She knew that at last I was off on lifes road and moving steadily. Her smile said, My job is finally done.”1.
