I often sat next to Dad on the sofa while he graded his students'
papers. I could be there only as long as I was quiet. But one day when
I was 10 years old, I noticed that Dad's red pencil had missed an
error, and I spoke up. Instead of chastising me, he gave me the
already-corrected papers to read behind him. And soon I got the first
of many paid freelance jobs: proofreading the college's yearbooks,
student directories and other publications.I often sat next to Dad on the sofa while he graded his students' papers. I could be there only as long as I was quiet.
