One day I came home from school, changed my clothes and got ready for work．I worked at a local restaurant in town as a cashier, seater and waiter．
I went to work feeling 41 . And to make matters worse, I was busy that evening．It' s the same thing over and over again． 42 with customers who complain about their food and where they are 43 is too big or too small．Little things like that tend to 44 a lot of us 45 but we manage to deal with it．
Three elderly ladies walked in and sat by the windows．It happened to be the very 46 near where I keep the dirty 47 in the boxes．Trying to keep up with all the dirty tables, customers leaving and coming in and 48 running all over the house, it was crazy． 49 these elderly women were watching 50 I was working to make sure every table was clean and ready for the next customers．
When they 51 their meals, I took their plates back to the kitchen．They talked to me for a while about school, how I was doing, what 52 I was in and what I planned to do in the future．
53 they were leaving, they walked past me and one of them said to me in a 54 and gentle voice, "You are going places.” And that was it．They left the 55 and I had tears in my eyes, because they gave me 56 to believe in myself．They 57 my spirit from being down and gave me a 58 to keep on working hard．
People used to tell me that I couldn’t have a career in 59 until I had a degree．I'm now a co-anchor （联合主持人）of a student-produced television 60 . And the best thing is: I'm only 17 years old and I am a senior in high school．

One day I heard that one of my dear friends had lost his mother. This made me sad, for my friend was very close to his mother. He had been by her side as she traveled through her long and hard journey with cancer. At this time, many memories about my loved ones that had passed away came flooding to me. Finally these memories passed, but it was really sad to think that my friend would have to go through the pain.

I began working in journalism(新闻工作) when I was eight.It was my mother’s idea.She wanted me to“make something”of myself,and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue.The crowds were there.There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union.For several hours I made myself highly visible,making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.When it was suppertime,I walked back home.
“How many did you sell,my boy?”my mother asked.
“None.”
“Where did you go?”
“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”
“What did you do?”
“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”
“You just stood there?”
“Didn’t sell a single one.”
“My God,Russell!”
Uncle Allen put in,“Well,I’ve decided to take the Post.”I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币).It was the first nickel I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman.I would have to ring doorbells,address adults with self-confidence(自信),and persuade them by saying that no one,no matter how poor,could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day,I told my mother I’d changed my mind.I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.
“If you think you can change your mind like this,”she replied,“you’ll become a good-for-nothing.”She insisted that,as soon as school was over,I should start ringing doorbells,selling magazines.Whenever I said no,she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember.My mother,dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life,determined that I would not grow up like him and his people.But never did she expect that,forty years later,such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.
