當年我與母親相依為命,全靠母親胼手胝足,種植蔬菜為生。母親每天早晨挑送新鮮的蔬菜至市場出售,換購糧食回家。因此我每天必須上山砍柴,生火煮飯。
正是讀書認字的年齡,童年玩伴都已上學。每天放學後,他們都談論著學校生活的快樂,我羨慕極了!每天出外砍柴,必須經過學校操場,在操場上看到教室裡的學生們在做功課,自己不能進去,幼小的心靈感到了失學之痛。當時盼望會有一天,我也能夠去上學讀書。
有一個晚上,晚飯後在客廳坐著休息聊天。剛好我想到我想要上學念書的事情,我就跟媽媽說:「媽媽,我想要到學校去念書。」媽媽問我說:「你想要去學校念書嗎?為什麼不早一點告訴我呢?那好吧!現在是放暑假,因為夏天天氣特別熱,等到下學期開學的時候,我一定會送你到學校去念書。」開學的日期到了,我開始跟其他同學常常到學校去念書,我心裡真的非常高興,因為我終於如願以償。
