I did that

Although in retrospect these were very simple things, they represent a defining point in my life. They helped me to learn that I should solve my own problems whenever possible; they gave me the confidence that I could solve my own problems; and they helped me experience pride in that achievement.It's funny,but every time I put those socks on until they were threadbare,I looked at that repair in the toe and thought,“I did that.”I have no memory now of what the repair to the knee of those Levi's looked like,but I'm sure it wasn't pretty.When I looked at it,however,it didn't occur to me that I might not have done a perfect mending job.I only felt pride that I had done it.
As for my mom,I have wondered what she felt when she saw me walk out the door to school wearing those patched knee trousers.Some mothers might have been embarrassed to have their child seen in such tatters— that it evidenced how few pennies our family had to spare. But I think my mom didn't even look at my Levi's. I think she was looking at me, and probably saw in me the same thing I saw in the patch:
“I did that.
虽然回想起来这些都是非常简单的事情,但它们却代表了我生命中的一个转折点。他们让我认识到,只要有可能,我就应该解决自己的问题;他们给了我信心,让我相信我能解决自己的问题;他们让我体会了成就的自豪感。这很有趣,我一直穿那些袜子直到破为止,我每次看着脚趾上的补丁,心想,“是我补的。”我现在不记得牛仔裤膝盖的补丁的样子了,但我敢肯定并不好看。然而,当时我看着它的时候,我并没有想我可能没有补好。我只为自己做了这件事而感到自豪。
至于我妈妈,我想知道当她看到我穿着那条膝盖上打了补丁的裤子出门上学时是什么感觉。有些母亲看到自己的孩子穿得这么破可能会感到尴尬——这证明家里钱不多。但我想我妈妈甚至没有看我的牛仔裤。我想她在看我时,可能跟我看到补丁里的东西是一样的:
“我做到了。”
