  It was a summer, and a friend   7   me for a summer job.This meant a chance for money in my pocket-cash for such things as a new bike and new clothes, and the start of   8   for a house for my mother.

  Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to   9   the work schedule.

  The simplest way to say it is this:I believe in my mother.My   1   began when I was just a kid.I   2   becoming a doctor.

  My mother was a domestic.Through her work, she observed that   3   people spent a lot more time reading than they   4   watching television.She announced that my brother and I   5   watch two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week.With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and   6   her written book reports.She would mark them up with check marks and highlights.Years later we realized her marks were a   7  .My mother was illiterate.

  When I entered high school I was a(n)  8  , but not for long.I wanted the fancy clothes.I wanted to   9   the guys.I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student.One night my mother came home from   10   her various jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts.She said, “Okay, I'll give you all the money I make this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy   11   food and pay the bills.With everything   12  , you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want.” I was very   13   with that arrangement but once I got through allocating money, there was   14   left.I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to   15   our heads and any kind of food on the table,   16   buy clothes.I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn't going to get me anywhere.Success required intellectual preparation.I went back to my   17   and became an A-student again, and eventually I   18   my dream and I became a doctor.

  My story is really my mother's story-a woman with   19   formal education or property who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe.There is no job   20   than parenting.This I believe.
