The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My  36 began when I was just a kid. I   37  being a doctor.

She announced that my brother and I  40 watch two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week.

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.（养育） This I believe.
