My dad, George, only had an eighth - grade education. He didn't understand my world of school activities. From age 14, he worked. And his dad, Albert, took the money my dad earned and used it to pay family expenses.
I didn't really understand his world either. He was a livestock trucker, and I thought that I would surpass anything he had accomplished by the time I walked across the stage at high school graduation.
Summers in the mid - 70s were spent at home shooting baskets, hitting a baseball, or throwing a football, preparing for my future as a quarterback (四分卫) on a football team. In poor weather, I read about sports or practiced my trombone (长号).
The summer before my eighth grade I was one of a group of boys that a neighboring farmer hired to work in his field. He explained our basic task. The tractor fired up and we were off, riding down the field looking for weeds to spray with chemicals. After a short way, the farmer stopped and pointed at a weed which we missed. Then we began again. This happened over and over, but we soon learned to identify different grasses, and the king of weeds, the pretty purple thistle. It was tiring work, but I looked forward to the pay, even though I wasn't sure how much it would amount to.
At home, my dad said, “A job is a big step to growing up. I'm glad you will be contributing to the household bills.” My dad's words made me realize that my earnings might not be mine to do with as I wished.
My labors lasted about two weeks, and the farmer said there might be more work, but I wasn't interested. I decided it was not fair that I had to contribute my money.

Paragraph 1:
I figured that I must take action to change that. ______
Paragraph 2:
After hearing what my dad had said, I felt embarrassed. ______
Paragraph 1：
I figured that I must take action to change that. So I went up to my dad, and asked him why I should turn in what I had earned to meet the family's needs rather than spend it at will. After a few seconds of silence, he told me, "I worked to help my family when I was young, but I never asked why. I just thought that it was my responsibility to make a better life for the ones I loved, and what mattered most was that I felt proud to contribute to my family with my labor."
Paragraph 2：
After hearing what my dad had said, I felt embarrassed. All I had thought about was spending the money for my own good, and it seemed that I had never repaid my family for what they had done for me. It was at that time that I realized what I should do next. I called the farmer and told him that I would continue to work for him.
