Dekalb says a lot of kids idolized basketball player Michael Jordan when he was growing up in Chicago in the 1990s. Not him.I wanted to be like Dekalb Walcott Jr., he says of his father.
18、So when his dad asked if he wanted to go on that call with him when he was 8, Dekalb was excited. Im jumping up and down, saying, Mom, can I go? Can I go? The experience changed Dekalbs life, he tells his dad on a visit to StoryCorps. My eyes got big from the moment the alarm went off. the younger D
19、ekalb says. This is the life that I want to live someday. Now 27, the younger Dekalb is living that life. He became a firefighter at 21 and went to work alongside his dad at the Chicago Fire Department. Before his father retired, the pair even went out on a call together father supervising(监督) son.Y

And they said, Well, your son was at this fire. I said, OK, which way is this conversation going to go? Dekalb Walcott Jr.
21、recalls.And they said, But hes OK. And he put it out all by himself. Everybody here was proud of him.And the word went around, Who was out there managing that fire? Oh, thats Walcott! Thats Walcott up there! So, you know, moments like that, its heaven on Earth for a dad.Dekalb Walcott Jr. retired in
22、 2009. The younger Dekalb says hes proud of being a second-generation firefighter.

24、arned English, and from what little I could gather from my classmates, Santa Claus would come down ones chimney(烟囱) and put toys in ones stocking on Christmas Eve! What a great country, I thought. After I looked up “stocking” in my Chinese-English dictionary, I knew what I had to do.On that fateful
25、night, after everyone went to bed, I took my longest, cleanest knee sock and attached it to a nail already on the mantel(壁炉). Obviously, the previous owners of this house were no strangers to this Santa character. I woke up before everyone else on Christmas Day and ran to the fireplace. To make a so
26、b story short, I was hit with the reality of an empty sock and the biggest lie ever told. I burst into tears, quickly took down the sock, and stuffed it in the back of a drawer. Santa was dead.Every December since then, the topic of Christmas memories would unavoidably come up, and I would amuse my
27、friends with my poor-little-me story. I had to make it as funny as possible, or else I would cry.How could I know that Santa was just late? Nine years ago, on Christmas Eve, an older man with a white beard and a red cap knocked on my front door. He said, “Ive been looking for you for twenty-five yea
28、rs.” He handed me a bulging red stocking, winked, and left. On top of the stocking was a card. It read: “For BeckyI may have missed you in the second grade, but youve always lived in my heart. Santa.”Through tear-blurred eyes, I recognized the handwriting of Jill, a friend I had met just two months
