“Never give up!” It is my law(法则) of my life. It has brought me   16   . I learned the law from my father’s   17   story.
My father was  18  in a poor village in the north of Jiangsu, in China. When he was a young boy, he went to school in the morning, then   19  in the fields till sunset. And then he did his homework   20   midnight. Life was hard, because they had no   21   !
At the age of 14, my father heard of the United States of America. It was the land of gold, the land where   22   people can become rich.
“   23    don’t I go to America?” he thought to himself, full of hope.
So , my father came to America. “ I had thought it was easy to   24   money in America,” he told me. “But when I arrived there, I realized it was not true. They did not like to hire（雇佣） me because I spoke   25   English. Later, I worked in a small restaurant, cleaning up tables,  26   dishes and sweeping the floor. Life was   27   for the first few years. I worked from 10a.m to 11p.m. I wanted to go to school to learn English, but it was impossible. I couldn’t  28   the schooling(学费).
My father   29   working hard, and reached his goal.
“Alan,” he often says to me, “If you want something, you have to work for it and never give up. Things do not come   30  in life.” That is what I learned from my father.
