My dad,George,only had an eighth grade education.A quiet man,he didn't understand my world of school activities.From age 14, he worked. And his dad, Albert, took the money my dad earned and used it to pay family expenses.
I didn't really understand his world either:He was a livestock trucker and I thought that I would surpass (超过) anything he had accomplished by the time I walked across the stage at high school graduation.
Summers in the mid-70s were spent at home shooting baskets, hitting a baseball,or throwing a football,preparing for my future as a quarterback on a football team. In poor weather, I read about sports or practiced mytrombone (长号).
The summer before my eighth grade I was one of a group of boys that a neighboring farmer hired to work in his field. He explained our basic task, the tractor fired up and we were off, riding down the field looking for weeds to spray with chemicals. After a short way, the farmer stopped and pointed at a weed which we missed. Then we began again. This happened over and over,but we soon learned to identify different grasses like cockleburs, lamb's-quarters, foxtails, and the king of weeds, the pretty purple thistle. It was tiring work, but I looked forward to the pay,even though I wasn't sure how much it would amount to.
At home,my dad said,"A job's a big step to growingup.I'm glad you will be contributing to the household."My dad's words made me realize that my earnings might not be mine to do with as I wished.
My labors lasted about two weeks,and the farmer said there might be more work,but I wasn't interested. I decided it was not fair that I had to contribute my money.
