問題詳情:

Being a waitress changed my life. One of my 6 customers was Fred Hasbrook. He always ate an omelet, and when I saw him 7 , I tried to have it on his table as soon as he sat down.

I took the checks to Merrill Lynch, where the money was provided for me. I 15 working at the diner, making 16 for the restaurant I would open. My plans failed, 17 , and I lost the money.
Later I decided to apply for a job at Merrill Lynch. Even though I had no experience, I was 18 and ended up becoming a pretty good agent. 19 I paid back Fred the $50,000, plus 14-percent annual interest. Five years later, I was able to 20 my own firm.
