In the 1950s,when I was young,I lived in Houston,Texjye.ai.As I grew up,the city grew up.To me,the most exciting changes were that one big building after another went up.
I think that's what made me want to be an architect,and I wanted to take part in building one.In high school,I took a class called drafting(繪圖).There I learned how to use many different tools to draw plans for building things.I was the only girl in the class,and others laughed at me.But I knew what I wanted to do,so I didn't mind the jokes.
When I was 16,I found my first summer job with an engineering company.I worked in the drafting room with 60 men on one of the biggest engineering projects of our century—the Trans-Alaska Pipeline(管道).That pipeline now carries oil south across Alaska,from oil wells near the Arctic Ocean down to the Pacific.That summer I learned a lot about how a huge structure is designed and what it's like to work in a team.One of my bosses from that summer said he knew that was the secret of my success.
The engineers liked my work so much that they asked me to come back.I worked there for the next five summers.During those years,I studied architecture at the University of Texas.I discovered that the best way to learn about architecture is to look at the world around me.To remember what I saw,I always carried a notebook with me so I could make quick drawings.
After I graduated from college,I made my dream come true.

On the last day of one voyage,the ship was in a small port.It was winter time,and these a was very cold,so the captain said to his sailors, "If one of you stays in the water during the whole night,I will give him my ship.But if he comes out before the sun appears,I shall get his wages."
