When I was 13, my father developed lung cancer. He brought home a diagram (图表) the doctor drew showing where his cancer was and told me that he was going to die.

　　The big green oxygen tank with plastic tubing became a central feature of our living room next to his easy chair. Several months passed and his condition worsened. He asked me to take care of my mother when he was gone. He said, “I love you, son.” That night he died.

　　When you’re 13 and your father dies, you have some choices to make. You can use the circumstance as an excuse for letting your behavior and grades go down the drain, or you can honor his memory and try to do something positive with yourself. I focused my energy on my school work and my goal of becoming a doctor.
