My Mother's 'Homelessness' Got Me in Trouble（母親的“無家可歸”讓我陷入困境)
1. From an early age, reading, and writing were fundamental instruments in my life. My mother loved to read. When I was young my mother was a substitute teacher for a while so learning was always a big part of our household. Before I started kindergarten I could read and write full sentences. Not only did my mother teach me how to read and write at and very young age, but she also made sure that our home was stocked with books of various kinds and for various ages. We would regularly visit the library where I would be able to check out one movie and two books of my choosing. She regularly read to me and made sure that I was getting an understanding of what was being read to me, this being the basis of my learning to read and write before attending elementary school. When I was in the third grade we moved to Lansing, Michigan where my mother furthered her educational career by attending Thomas M. Cooley Law School where she eventually was able to graduate and receive her doctorate degree in the field of law.
1. 從小，閱讀和寫作是我生活中的基本工具。我媽媽喜歡讀書。當(dāng)我年輕的時(shí)候，我的母親當(dāng)過一段時(shí)間的代課老師，所以學(xué)習(xí)一直是我們家的重要組成部分。在我上幼兒園之前，我可以閱讀和寫完整的句子。我媽媽不僅在我很小的時(shí)候就教我讀書寫字，她還確保我們家中存放著各種不同年齡段的書籍。我們會定期訪問圖書館，在那里我可以查看我選擇的一部電影和兩本書。她定期給我讀書，并確保我了解正在讀給我的內(nèi)容，這是我在上小學(xué)之前學(xué)習(xí)閱讀和寫作的基礎(chǔ)。當(dāng)我在三年級時(shí)，我們搬到了密歇根州的蘭辛市，在那里，我的母親進(jìn)入了Thomas M. Cooley法學(xué)院，在那里她最終能夠畢業(yè)并獲得法學(xué)博士學(xué)位，從而進(jìn)一步發(fā)展了她的教育事業(yè)。
2. Education has always been a part of my life and continues to maintain its solidification within my life prevalently to this day. However, these last couple of semesters my love, advocacy, and motivation for education have tremendously declined. Unfortunately, I feel that these are the basic requirements and standards of being a college student. Genuinely applying yourself, maintaining discipline, and working as hard as you can to attain the goal of graduation is what really sets students apart, determining a graduate from a dropout.
2. 教育一直是我生活的一部分，并繼續(xù)在我的生活中保持固化，直到今天。然而，在最后幾個(gè)學(xué)期，我對教育的熱愛、倡導(dǎo)和動力都大大下降了。很遺憾，我覺得這些都是作為大學(xué)生的基本要求和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。是否真正應(yīng)用到自己身上，保持紀(jì)律，努力工作以實(shí)現(xiàn)畢業(yè)目標(biāo)，這才是真正讓學(xué)生與眾不同，決定畢業(yè)與輟學(xué)的原因。
3. This last year and a half has really taken a toll on me I was homeless the last two semesters with documentation, and my mother is currently homeless going back and forth from sleeping in her car in Dallas and staying some days in my dorm, I have an outstanding balance of $2,000 on my student account that I am currently working to get paid off so that I can get registered for summer classes and fall, I am out of financial aid so I don't?know how I will pay my tuition for my fall classes in order to graduate because of my 6-year college career, and I don't know where I will stay if I don't get registered for summer classes because I will become homeless again.
3. 過去的一年半對我造成了很大的影響，在過去的兩個(gè)學(xué)期里我無家可歸，我的母親目前也是無家可歸，常常在達(dá)拉斯睡在她的車?yán)?，有時(shí)也在我的宿舍里呆幾天。我在我的學(xué)生賬戶上僅有2,000美元的未結(jié)余額。我目前正在努力獲得報(bào)酬，以便我可以注冊暑期班和秋季班。我沒有其它經(jīng)濟(jì)援助，所以我不知道如何支付我的學(xué)費(fèi)。因?yàn)槲乙呀?jīng)有6年的大學(xué)生涯，我不知道如果我不注冊暑期班，我會留在哪里，也許我將再次無家可歸。
4. After emailing you, Professor Sun, I really had to sit back and make a reflection on why and how I’ve continued to stay in this position. After careful reflection, I’ve come to the conclusion that, yes although my cards are stacked against me, I have been wallowing in my pity. I had completely shut down and shut out my classwork making the excuse that my life was falling apart. However this isn’t the case, it was just a cop-out. No matter what we struggle to go through, no matter how bad the world may get, and no matter how hard something may seem at that time, the world will continue to move forward. You can either move forward with it or you can get lost behind trying to play catch up for something you’ve had complete control over. I may not have control over my account balance, my mother being homeless or paying for my schooling for an additional 6 months but I do have control over how I continue to move forward and how I handle and carry myself.
4. 孫教授，在給您發(fā)了電子郵件后，我真的不得不坐下來反思一下我為什么以及如何繼續(xù)留在這個(gè)職位上。經(jīng)過仔細(xì)思考，我得出的結(jié)論是，是的，雖然我的底牌對我不利，但我一直在遺憾中掙扎。我已經(jīng)完全關(guān)閉并停止去完成我的課堂作業(yè)，借口我的生活正在崩潰。然而事實(shí)并非如此，這只是一種逃避。無論我們?nèi)绾螔暝瑹o論世界變得多么糟糕，無論當(dāng)時(shí)看起來多么艱難，世界都會繼續(xù)前進(jìn)。您可以繼續(xù)前進(jìn)，也可以在試圖追趕您完全控制的事情之后迷失方向。我可能無法控制我的賬戶余額，因?yàn)槲业哪赣H已經(jīng)無家可歸，也不可能額外支付我6個(gè)月的學(xué)費(fèi)。因此，我必須把握好自己，如何繼續(xù)前進(jìn)以及如何處理和承擔(dān)自己的責(zé)任。
5. In conclusion professor, I sincerely apologize for my lack of participation in your class. It can come off as I don’t take you or your course seriously and those are not my intentions at all. If you are still willing to accept my essay and allow me to make up my quizzes I sincerely appreciate you to the bottom of my heart. As you said in our email thread, “It is not just a "title"; there are some basic requirements. You should know that when you enter college. The graduation indicates you got educated. Otherwise, you're just kidding yourself.” I am not acting and carrying myself as an educated college student but from here on out, I will exude nothing less. In the end, I thank you for your candor and willingness to listen and I will strive to show you better.
5. 最后，教授，對于我未能參加您的課程，我深表歉意。它已經(jīng)使我跟不上課程，因?yàn)槲也徽J(rèn)真對待你或你的課程，而這根本不是我的意圖。如果您仍然愿意接受我的期末論文并允許我補(bǔ)考，我衷心感謝您。正如您在我們的電子郵件主題中所說，“作為大學(xué)生，這不僅僅是一個(gè)“頭銜”；它有一些基本要求。當(dāng)你進(jìn)入大學(xué)時(shí)，你應(yīng)該知道這一點(diǎn)。畢業(yè)時(shí)候則證明你是受過教育的。否則，你就是在自欺欺人?！?我不是在做一個(gè)受過良好教育的大學(xué)生，但從現(xiàn)在開始，我會散發(fā)出更多的光芒。最后，我感謝你的坦率和傾聽的意愿，我會努力向你展示更好的。
