When most of my friends were quarreling with their fathers, I was looking to mine for guidance. He knows about me than anyone else. He for work so he’s gone a lot. Most people assume we have a relationship because he’s not at home very often. But we get along well under this situation we talk every night by phone, and he makes his support known when he can’t be present. One night my world just collapsed, and was my dad who was able to pick up the pieces.
My first true love called from a party and my heart. He offered little explanation and this made the more difficult to accept. In that quick phone call I lost my boyfriend and best friend, a I had enjoyed for the past year and a half. I was sure I was the most miserable fifteen-year-old girl in the world—lost and . It felt like everyone else’s life could just continue on in its normal way, but mine couldn’t.
I was forced to deal with my regular on Monday morning, as Mom went to work, Dad flew out business and I went to school. Dad wouldn’t return until Friday. I wasn’t sure I was going to face everyone and their at school. I was right:the questions and the whispers started around the second period.

I made it through that week because of him. Each card seemed to say just what I needed to hear. I was instructed to open the last after the party I went to on Saturday night. In it he sagely (賢明地) reminded me to .“The world isn’t so bad after a good laugh. The more you laugh, the more you heal.”Each card was , Love, Dad.

Hi, everybody. On Friday, I had a discussion with working women in Rhode Island about the economic challenges they face in their own lives—challenges shared by many of you.
Thanks to the work we’ve all put in, our economy has come a long way these past six years. Over the past 55 months, our businesses have added 10.3 million new jobs. For the first time in six years, the unemployment rate is below 6 percent. And on Thursday, we learned that over the past six months, our economy has grown at its fastest pace since 2003.
But the gains of a growing economy aren’t yet felt by everyone. So we’ve got to harness(增強) this momentum(動力), and make the right choices so that everyone who works hard can get ahead.
In recent weeks, I’ve talked about these choices, from raising the minimum wage to creating new jobs in construction and manufacturing. Today, I want to focus on what I discussed with those women — the choices we need to make to help more women get ahead in today’s economy.
Right now, women make up almost half of our workers. More women are their family’s main breadwinner than ever before. So the simple truth is, when women succeed, America succeeds. And we should be choosing policies that benefit women—because that benefits all of us.
Women deserve fair pay. Even though it’s 2014, there are women still earning less than men for doing the same work. We don’t have second-class citizens in this country—we shouldn’t in the workplace, either. So let’s make sure women earn equal pay for equal work, and have a fair shot at success.
Women deserve to be able to take time off to care for a new baby, an ailing parent, or take a sick day for themselves without running into hardship. So let’s make sure all Americans have access to paid family leave(帶薪休假).
Pregnant workers deserve to be treated fairly. Even today, women can be fired for taking too many bathroom breaks, or forced on unpaid leave just for being pregnant. That’s wrong—and we have to choose policies that ensure pregnant workers are treated with dignity and respect.
New parents deserve quality, affordable childcare. There’s nothing like the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your kids are safe while you’re at work. And the benefits that children get out of early enrichment can pay off for a lifetime. But in many states, sending your kid to daycare costs more than sending them to a public university. So let’s start demanding Pre-K for our kids.
And when most low-wage workers are women, but Congress hasn’t passed a minimum wage increase in seven years, it’s long past time that women deserve a raise. About 28 million workers would benefit from an increase in the minimum wage to ten dollars and ten cents an hour. And more than half of those workers are women. The local businesses where these workers spend their money would benefit, too. So let’s do this -- let’s give America a raise.
All of these policies are common sense. All of them are within our reach. We’ve just got to speak up and choose them. Because they’ll build a stronger America for all of us.
Thanks, and have a great weekend.
