In the 1950s,when I was young,I lived in Houston,Texjye.ai.As I grew up,the city grew up.To me,the most exciting changes were that one big building after another went up.
I think that's what made me want to be an architect,and I wanted to take part in building one.In high school,I took a class called drafting(繪圖).There I learned how to use many different tools to draw plans for building things.I was the only girl in the class,and others laughed at me.But I knew what I wanted to do,so I didn't mind the jokes.
When I was 16,I found my first summer job with an engineering company.I worked in the drafting room with 60 men on one of the biggest engineering projects of our century—the Trans-Alaska Pipeline(管道).That pipeline now carries oil south across Alaska,from oil wells near the Arctic Ocean down to the Pacific.That summer I learned a lot about how a huge structure is designed and what it's like to work in a team.One of my bosses from that summer said he knew that was the secret of my success.
The engineers liked my work so much that they asked me to come back.I worked there for the next five summers.During those years,I studied architecture at the University of Texas.I discovered that the best way to learn about architecture is to look at the world around me.To remember what I saw,I always carried a notebook with me so I could make quick drawings.
After I graduated from college,I made my dream come true.

3.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
