We couldn’t afford all the necessary medicine for him, and because Dad was unable to work. I had no money for school supplies and often couldn’t even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher’s words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.
I did not share my burden (负担)with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease(疾病). And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside even though he was too weak to feed himself.
I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret. I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.
I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn’t want to call attention to AIDS. I do.
56. What does Kernel tell us about her father?
A. He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill. B. He depended on the nurses in his final days.
C. He worked hard to pay for his medication.
D. He told no one about his disease.
