My father was
born in a small town in the
wasn
’
t sure what he wanted
from
1
,but
something told him to
struggle on and begin a new adventure.
He began that adventure
traveling to cities in the US before going took
my mother and us
three daughters with
him and went wherever the road
2
him.
It
’
s easy to feel
3
when on the made lots of new friends on our
trip
—
most of them are
mechanics since we often spent hours in
repair that was a way much
4
than sitting
by the
roadside while waiting for the
engine to
5
when it was 40
℃
outside.
Getting
along well sometimes seemed were always a lot of
6
,especially among
us back
seat passengers about who had to
7
in the even
if it was hard,we learned a lot
about
8
.When traveling in Philippines,we drove
to a small city one should have been an
hour
’
s drive but
was nearly three thanks to bad roads and
9
traffic
.“
Did you put our
suitcases in the
car?
”
my father
asked my mother as we arrived the back seat,we
saw her slowly turn toward
him
.“
No,
”
she
said
.“
I thought you
did
.”
That was how a seven-
hour car trip turned into a 16-hour
one,which was mostly spent in
10
.
On
occasions like that,we had to learn to let go of
our anger because we were
11
in a rolling
box
with the same people for the rest
of the if I sometimes felt like opening the car
door and
12
one of my sisters out,I
kept my feelings to myself.
This is why road trips were like
13
universities to
14
our PhDs in
how to get along
with
others.
If we
were
15
given a second chance at life,we would
do it all over this time would I
put
the suitcases in the car myself.
