As immigrants with little money, my parents were convinced that the time to teach children about investment building was as early as possible. They wanted my brother and me to get a head start on that long road to financial stability.Two years earlier my parents had helped me open my first bank account, and now my mother was introducing me to mutual funds. An enthusiastic pupil, I was soon contributing income frommy paper route towards my investments.Then, later, as a high-school student with university on the horizon, I began to wonder how I could possibly afford the $2,200-a-year tuition. I had decided to major in sciences, with the aim of going on to medical school. In other words, there were a lot of years of tuition ahead of me.Clearly, it was time to step up my investing planning. I read investment magazines carefully and thoroughly for money-making advice. My comfort level grew, as did my investment. At the end of high school, I was able to pay for my university tuition. In fact, the proceeds of that investment supported me much of the way through medical school.Since Mom’s first chat nearly two decades ago, I have come a long way as an investor. Above all, I have seen firsthand how smart investing can help you reach important goals in life. It’s partly thanks to the good financial habits I picked up as a child that I’m enjoying a medical residency on Edmonton today----thanks, in other words, to my money-wise Mom and Dad.1.When the writer’s parents opened his first bank account, the writer __________ years old？2.The time when the writer could afford his university tuition was _______________________.3.Why did the writer’s mother encourage the writer to learn to invest?4.What did the writer learn from the investment?IV.
