I grew up in a large family of twelve siblings. We weren't poor by most standards, but things were definitely hard for us. My parents never shared their financial worries, choosing instead to let us have a carefree childhood. But I knew, as children often do, that there were times they went without and that certain things my friends had wouldn't be available to me.
我在一个有十二个兄弟姐妹的大家庭长大。按照大多数标准,我们并不贫穷,但事情对我们来说确实很艰难。我的父母从不分担他们的经济担忧,而是选择让我们度过一个无忧无虑的童年。但我知道,就像孩子们经常做的那样,有时他们没有,我朋友们拥有的某些东西也不会给我。

My siblings and I brought lunch from home every day: thick slices of homemade bread, three cookies and a small apple.

I proudly carried my tray of chicken across the cafeteria and took my seat at the hot-lunch table. Honestly, the food wasn't as great as I had imagined, but I was pleased to be there and felt honored to be a part of the group.
我赶紧回家,把纸条给了妈妈。她读了之后笑了。“好吧,卡鲁索夫人说,由于你的辛勤工作,她想请你明天吃午饭。”第二天。我骄傲地端着一盘鸡肉穿过自助餐厅,坐在热腾腾的午餐桌旁。老实说,食物没有我想象的那么美味,但我很高兴能在那里,也很荣幸能成为团队的一员。
