As a young child, I was very lazy when it came to doing something for my parents. 1 my parents asked me to do something, I would do it—not a 2 . But I always needed to be told to do things that I could 3 see. That annoyed(惹恼) my parents. By age ten, that 4 annoyed them!
Every 5 afternoon, my mother drove me to another town for a piano lesson. During my half-hour lesson, she'd rush to the nearby 6 and buy a week's food. Considering my mother drove me twelve miles there, twelve miles back, I should 7 her bring the food into the house without being asked, 8 I didn't.
Because I think 9 is more important and I'm the center of my world, I just brought in a small bag and left the rest for my mother. And then I ran to my room, shut the door and 10 studying.
Generally, my "not helping" became a bigger and bigger problem for me because what I learned at school made me realize that I was 11 responsibility(责任). I would like to 12 .
So, one Wednesday I made a decision. 13 the car, I didn't go away directly but helped my mother do something. My mother thanked me that day. What I 14 most was the valuable sense of peace and satisfaction I felt after helping her. Unknown to my mom, I'd already decided to offer 15 help every Wednesday. From that day on, I really did.
