1. Have you ever thought that parents make mistakes too? Memories of my childhood and parents are really
, but let me tell you my story. My father was not always there for us, my mom smoking, and the unclean house. It was
; the sky was a deep navy blue, when my Mom, my brothers, and I heard the three hard knocks on our
door. Dad wasn’t there because he was in prison. We saw the red and blue flashing lights outside and
,“It’s the police.” I don’t remember who, but someone opened the door to
two tall and attractive policemen. The policemen
my brothers and me out to their cars, while my mom staggered (蹒跚)behind with
. The street was quiet as though a
could be heard, and the neighbors came out to
what was happening. “You can’t take them away from me. You can’t! ” cried my mom. One of the policemen replied
, “We have to, Miss. This is no place to bring up children. They’ll be in(a) good

them behind. The night went by very fast. One minute I’m being
away from my mom, the next I’m in a policeman’s car, and now I find myself in a nursery
with my brothers. For three
years I lived with a very nice family with my brothers in the town of Leominster. On the third year of my
at the nursery home, I met this very strange
lively couple who treat us well. That moment had changed everything that was going to happen to me. A major turning point in my life
when my brothers and I were adopted (收养).
