At the age of 14, my father heard of the United States of America. It was the land of gold, the land where people can become rich.
“ don't I go to America?” he thought to himself, full of hope.

They did not like to hire(雇佣) me because I spoke English. Later，I worked in a small restaurant, cleaning up tables, dishes and sweeping the floor. Life was for the first few years. I worked from 10 a. m. to 11 p. m. I wanted to go to school to learn English, but it was impossible. I couldn't the schooling(学费).”
My father working hard, and reached his goal.
“Alan,” he often says to me. “If you want something, you have to work for it and never give up. Things do not come in life.” That is what I learned from my father.
