The summer before I went off to college, Mom stood me in her usual spot behind the ironing board and said, “Pay attention: I’m going to teach you to iron.”
Mom clearly explained her reasons for this lesson. I was going to be independent and needed to learn this vital skill. Also, I would be meeting new people, and properly ironed clothes would help me make a good impression .
“Learn to iron a shirt" Mom said, “and you can iron anything.”
But ironing shirts was not easy work. It didn’t make use of long muscles we used to throw a baseball，and it wasn’t a smooth operation like ice-skating. Ironing was like driving a car on a street that has a stop sign every 10 feet, Moreover,an iron produced steam and it carried an element of danger .If you touched the wrong part of it, you’d get burnt. If you forgot to turn it off when you went away ,you might bum down the house.
As for technique, Mom taught me to begin with the flat spaces outward, always pushing the iron forward into wrinkled parts. Collars had to be done right. Mom said they were close to your face, where everyone would see them.
Over the years, I’ve learned to iron shirts skillfully, which gives me a sense of pride Whatever failures I suffer in my life, an ironed shirt tells me I am good at something. Besides ,through ironing I’ve learned the method for solving even the most troublesome problems. “ Deal with wrinkles one at a time,” as Mom might have said, “and before long everything will get ironed out.”
