Question

When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad’s office.

“What are you doing at home?” I asked casually.

“Andrew, I was       today,” he answered quietly.

I was sure he was joking. “No, you weren't. Why are you      at home?”

Then I noticed his      and realized he was telling me the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career.     our family has been his joy, and I guess I have     his work for granted.

My father’s unemployment      many changes in our lives. For starters, he was at home all the time, which meant my bed had to be     , my room cleaned up, and my      done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer      jobs. I began to notice how     he seemed, and how losing his job affected his self-esteem, though he tried to be     . For the first time, I     my dad as vulnerable (易受傷的). He asked my brother and me to     less. I gave up my pocket money,      it wasn’t much. I felt I was doing the right. I also found a part-time job.

After several difficult months of searching, my dad     to go in a totally different direction. He     that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him      it, and I admired how much time and    he expended. I      knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really affected me.

Although this was one of the    experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity (逆境), and will be my foundations for success.
