The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My __36__ began when I was just a kid．I __37__ becoming a doctor.

My mother was a domestic．Through her work, she observed that __38__ people spent a lot more time reading than they __39__ watching television. She announced that my brother and I __40__ 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 __41__ her written book reports. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a __42__. My mother was illiterate. 

When I entered high school I was a(n) __43__, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to __44__ the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home from __45__ 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 __46__ food and pay the bills.

I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to __50__ our heads and any kind of food on the table, __51__ buy clothes. I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn't going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual preparation. I went back to my __52__ and became an A-student again, and eventually I __53__ my dream and I became a doctor.

My story is really my mother's story—a woman with __54__ 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 __55__ than parenting. This I believe.
