friends were and what we were doing. we had to wear clean clothes every day. other kids always wore their clothes for days. we reached the height of disgrace(丢脸) because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.the worst is yet to come. we had to be in bed by 9：00 each night and up at 7：45 the next morning. so while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break child labor law(儿童劳动法). she made us work. i believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. through the years, our friends report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. my mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.she forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. using this
