“The school” he said, “has a group of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen.”
I should have to teach all the except art, which he taught himself. I should have to divide the class into groups and teach them at three different, and I was notat the thought of teaching maths —a subject which I didn’t do very well in at school. It was that I had to teach them on Saturday afternoon most of my friends would be themselves at that time.
Before I had time to ask about my salary(薪水), he got up to his feet. “Now,” he said. “You’d better meet my wife. She is the one who really runs this school.”

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 was3 at the cheering. And I never forget the first time I received the cheering in my life.
Flowers arrived4 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.”
