1. I keep a two — dollar bill in my wallet that was given by my mother when I was six years old. Mother gave it to me
luck would follow me everywhere.
She looked at me and said, “I want you to
this two – dollar bill for extra good luck.”
“Thanks, Mom,” I replied. “I will keep it close
me always.”
My mother passed away (去世) when I was 17 years old and I remembered
my two — dollar bill, holding it in my hand for the longest time and I knew she would be
me the rest of my life.
On my first
, I was thirty years old. As I sat in the
, I noticed there were five women ahead of me. All of them were
and well dressed, which made me more nervous.
“What makes you feel you are
for this job?” Mrs. Martin, the office manager asked me.
“I really need this job and there is
I can’t do. I know I am not as
as your other applicants (申请人) for the job, but please give me a
. I learn quickly and can be a very capable (有能力的)
of your team.”
That evening I received a(n)
from Mrs. Martin.
“Gina,” she said, “ you were not the most suitable
, but you have so much confidence in yourself
we decided to give you a chance to prove (证明) yourself.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Martin. You will not regret (后悔) this
,” I said excitedly and
the phone.
I got my
and took out my two — dollar bill. “Thanks, Mom. I am sure to
it,” I said out loudly so that she could hear me.
