I often asked my mother for help when I had something difficult to do. But she always said, "Do it yourself, dear." I was not happy about this at all. I thought she was the 1 mother in the world!
For example, one day, I decided to invite some friends of 2 to my home. My bedroom was in a mess. Books were everywhere, and I didn't make the bed. I asked my mother to help me clean it, 3 she still said, "Do it yourself."
Because of my "lazy mother", I had to wash my clothes and clean my room. I had to help my parents do 4. I even had to go to the dentist by myself. It was really hard for me to do everything well, but I have learned a lot. As time goes by, I 5 my mother. She made me clever and hardworking. She is a great mother.
