I once thought I would be a perfect parent. It took 51 sixteen years to learn that I could not be. I know that I made some mistakes. If I raised my 52 again, I would not make those mistakes. Maybe I would make new ones, but I would do a better job.
I would try to understand my 53 towards my children. I often did what my own parents would have done. I 54 their ways of raising children control me.

Today I would think more about why I wanted things done in a certain way.
My father was sick when I was young. My sister, my brother, and I were quiet at 57 . We did not yell in anger. We did not shout for joy. I wanted my children to be quiet too. I never 58 to ask “why?” It was hard for me to let my children show anger. I stopped my children when 59 started to get angry. Now I would tell my children, “It is all right to show love.

It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few minutes. On their faces was confidence. This was their 61 exam—then on to graduation and jobs.
Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they would get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt 62 and able to take control of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be an easy task, as the professor had said they could bring 63 books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not talk to each other during the test.
__64 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles appeared on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.
Three hours had passed 65 the professor began to collect papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Paper in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
He looked at the worried faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?” 66 a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hand.
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished one.” But the class remained silent.
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 67 ,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are still many things about the 68 you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in everyday practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “you will all 69 this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just begun.”
The years have weakened the name of the professor, but not the 70 he taught.
