started.
Then, when I was
in the sixth grade, there was a writing
competition at my school. My teacher entered my
writing
for me. I wrote a story about a
man made a fire. It was a mess, but my story won.
I felt good, and I thanked my
teacher
for that.

was
Ezra
Jack

really
the

still my favourite.

As
a manager from IBM, my father’s job filled his
day, his thought, his life. While he woke up and
took a
warm shower, I had fun under the
Eiffel Tower. While he tied a tie and put on the
same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat
across
Lake of the Ozarks.
My father sees me
travelling without a purpose, nothing to show for
my 33 years but a passport full of funny
stamps. He wants me to settle down
(
安定下来
), but now I want him
to explore the world.
