My father woke me  31          early in summer morning when I was fourteen and announced: “ Get up. You’re going to with me to cut the grass.”

The idea  32          my father actually thought I was big enough to help him in his business made me feel proud and  33           (excite). From sunup to sundown my father, my young brother and I worked in the large yards in a rich part of Atlanta, Georgia. By the end of the day I was tired out, 34           I felt good. I had put in a hard day’s labor and had earned $6.

One day my father found some leaves I’d missed and pull me aside. “Clear away these  35           , ”he said firmly , “ and don’t make me have to tell you to do it again.” The message was clear. Today I value the importance of doing a job right the first time. It will never fail to impress the person you are working  36          .

After two years my father told my brother and me that he felt that we were old enough to do lawns on our  37          . Every Saturday during our last two years of high school, we set out early in the morning with the same desire and drive we had gained while  38          (work) under our father.

Taking care of lawns was not exciting or high-paying, but that didn’t matter. It taught me that any job is a good job and that whatever I was paid was            39           than I had before.

In every job I’ve held-from dong lawns to  40           dishes-I have learned something that helped me in my next job. If you work hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.

Night after night, she came to tuck me in, even long after my childhood years. _31_________ (follow) her longstanding custom, she’d lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.

I don’t remember _32_____ it first started annoying me — her hands pushing my hair that way. Finally, one night, I shouted out at her, “Don’t do that anymore — your hands are too rough!” She didn’t say _33______ in reply. But never again _34_____ my mother close out my day _35_____ that familiar expression of her love.

Time after time, with the passing years, my _36_____ (think) returned to that night. By then I missed my mother’s hands, missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead.

Now those hands I once thought to be so rough were still doing things for me and my family. I frequently recalled the night my young voice complained. One night, catching Mom’s hand in hand, I blurted out how sorry I was for that night. I thought she’d remember, _37______ I did. But Mom didn’t know what I _38______ (talk) about. She had forgotten — and forgiven — long ago.

That night, I fell asleep with a new _39_______ (appreciate) for my gentle mother and __40_______ caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.
