AShirley Temple (1928～2014）,an American actress, was considered among the most successful child stars in the history of film.

It was 1994,but I can remember my mother's words as if it were yesterday, "Kerrel, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you around him.”AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12,his condition worsened. My father's other children lived far away,so it fell to me to look after him.We couldn't afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher's words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.I did not share my burden with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared.

I was stupid! My face burned with shame when my classmates called me stupid.“I’m the only one who doesn't know my ABCs!”I sobbed to Mom.“I’ll help,” she promised.Every day I sat with her, but to me, cat looked like cta and red was reb. Frustrated, I would return to my bedroom and draw, filling the paper with houses, restaurants and offices.“When I grow up,I want my own store,” I told Mom, pointing to my drawings.“That's great!" she said," but first you have to learn to read.”Later, I was diagnosed with dyslexia(失读症).So Mom took me to a learning centre, where I was given reading exercises. But I still struggled. Finally, I graduated, but I was afraid of my reading skills.“I'll never get a job!"I cried to Mom later again.“Don't focus on what you can't do," she comforted.“Concentrate on what you can.”But what can I do? I wondered. Suddenly, I thought of the drawings I'd made as a child and my dream of having my own store. I enjoyed sales so much that over the next few years, I tried my hand at other businesses. Today, I watch over seven branches. We have 187 employees and $ 15 million in sales.While I'll never be what my teachers might have wanted, I am a success on my own terms.
