She’s a math teacher with a special sense of numbers. When we went for shopping, she could quickly figure out which was better as well as cheaper. But sometimes she wouldn’t be so clear of how much money she had spent on my lessons. It doesn’t matter I truly put her on a pedestal in my childhood. Just as most teenagers, I used to trap in the so-called adolescent agonies. That time I was in my last year of high school, however, I began to be obsessed with series, movies and stars. She often talked to me but I didn’t take her words seriously. There was a time a cold war between us. After an exam, of course my marks seemed such a mess, but she said nothing when saw my report card. Later I found she was in her room checking my papers carefully, most of time my answers raised her eyebrows and sometimes she would take some notes. Her back was thin and lonely, suddenly It struck me that I was so childish and it was time to act like a adult.
Last year, it was freezing cold outside and I bought her a pair of gloves. As she received the parcel, she was so excitedly and gave a phone call, told me that how much she fond of these gloves and her friends would like to buy another pair, too. At that moment, she was happy as a child and I could imagine her face was brightened. I discovered that I had missed many of her big moments in her life. In my mind, my mum has always been my heroine. She knows about everything and could get everything properly done, but I forgot she used to be a girl just like me. Maybe I should find this earlier so I can learn a little bit more about her.下载本文
