"Happy birthday, dear Rhea, happy birthday to you!" Silence penetrated (穿透) the room.
"Make a wish," my mom said in a sweet whisper. Now, I'm a straight
A student, confident
and popular, but that's not what I was a year ago. It was my mom's
love that made me what I am today. Looking
around the room filled with my friends, I couldn't help but smile.
I wish...
Memories flooded back. The December morning breeze brushed my long, black hair as I stepped towards
the doors of Hagenberg High.
It was my first day of school. Only two weeks ago, my mom and I migrated to America, hoping for a bright new
life.
My English
was poor, and I was alone, like a lost little kid. I unknowingly avoided interacting with anyone because I was
afraid they'd laugh in my face. When
my English was better, I decided, I would come up to people and maybe manage to
say, "Whussup?"
Finally in gym class, a friendly brown face. She almost
looked like me, only happier .Her name was Caroline. At lunchtime we found ourselves
enjoying the cafeteria food. She wanted me to meet her friends. "Don't
worry Rhea," she assured me, calling me "sister", "You'll
fit right in."
And I did. It was as if some
foreign soul entered my body and made me do things against my will. I found
myself
drinking beer, smoking cigarettes and skipping school. I didn't
even like the taste of beer. The moment it touched my tongue I felt like I had
to spit it back. But I didn't. I couldn't
afford to look bad and lose my new "friends". I began to miss at least one day of
school a week to hang out with them. Then I missed two, three, even four days in a row.
But while I was out having fun with my "friends," inside I was full of conflict, unhappiness and regret. I stopped practicing my English sentences in
front of the mirror and instead practiced, "I
don't know why the school called,
mom. There must be something wrong in the system
because I did not miss school today."

One day the
school teacher called my mom and the truth came out.
……
My mom's voice awakened me from my thoughts, "Have you made your
birthday wish yet, sweetie?"
答案: One day the school teacher called my mom and the truth came out. I was so depressed. I was sure I had lost my moms trust and love. "I'm sorry." I cried. Not until then did realize how much my mom loved me. "It's okay, honey. Everything will be okay. Know it is hard, but we'll work it out together." My mom didn't change how she viewed me despite everything I had done I stopped seeing Caroline and devoted myself to study. Gradually, I had true friends who saw the beauty in me. My life was back on track. My mom's voice awakened me from my thoughts, "Have you made your birthday wish yet, sweetie? I looked at her, tears of love and gratitude welling up in my eyes. Yes, Mom. Then I hugged her very, very tightly. And now, staring at the yellow candles on my birthday cake, I only have one wish: That someday, somehow, I can repay my mom for raising me the way she did and for loving me no matter what happens.
