听力原文及翻译

Even when I felt I had bitten off more than I could chew, he encouraged me that I could do it. Soon I became a very good student, wow, everyone was surprised, including me. Sometimes I still miss the mark, but that only encouraged me to try harder. I began to do everything by the book, I listened to my parents and never stayed out too late. I realized education is very important, because it can open so many doors. I ended high school on a high note, and was able to go to a good college. Later when I was finishing college, I got a great idea for a business. I created a special program for high schools to train kids who were unmotimated.

即便我觉得自己力不从心，他还是鼓励我，相信我能做到。很快我就成为了一名非常优秀的学生，哇，每个人都很惊讶，包括我自己。有时我仍然达不到标准，但这只会鼓励我更加努力。我开始按部就班，听父母的话，从不在外面待得太晚。我意识到教育非常重要，因为它能打开很多扇门。我以优异的成绩结束了高中生活，并考上了一所好大学。后来，当我大学毕业时，我有了一个很棒的商业想法。我为高中创建了一个特殊的项目，以培训那些没有动力的孩子。
