My mother believed you could be anything you wanted to be in America.You could open a restaurant.You could work for the government and get good retirement benefits.You could be rich.You could become famous.
"Of course you can be a talented child or what they call a wonder girl,too." My mother told me when I was nine."You can be best at anything."
Every night after dinner,my mother presented tests,taking examples from stories of amazing children she had read in Believe It or Not ,Good Housekeeping ,Readers’Digest and some others.She looked through the magazines,searching for stories about remarkable children.
The first night she brought out a story about a three-year-old boy.He knew capitals of all states and could also pronounce the names of foreign cities correctly.
"What’s the capital of Finland?" Mother asked me.But all I knew was the capital of California.
The tests got harder -- multiplying (乘) numbers in my head,standing on my head without using my hands,predicting the daily temperature in Los Angeles,New York or London and etc.
One night I had to look at a page from the Bible for three minutes and then report everything I could remember.After seeing my mother’s disappointments once again,something inside of me began to die.I began to hate the tests,the raised hopes and failed expectations.Before going to bed that night,I looked in the mirror.When I saw only my face staring back and it would always be this ordinary face -- I began to cry.Such a sad,ugly girl!
And then I saw what seemed to be the talented side of me.I looked at the reflection (映像) ,blinking so I could see more clearly.The girl was angry,powerful.This girl and I were the same.I had new thoughts,thoughts filled with lots of won’t.I won’t let her change me.I won’t be what I am not.
