In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.

My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.

Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.

You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo — a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.

The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.

In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!

I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.

TV That Changed the World

1.The Simpsons____________

University of Pennsylvania Linguistics professor Mark Liberman wrote in 2005," The Simponshas apparently taken over from Shakespeare and the Bible as our culture's greatest source of idioms and catchphrases.” Liberman's comment sounds crazy---at least until you remember there's a Millhouse quote for every occasion .Even the gatekeeper of language, the Oxford English Dictionary has found a spot for Homer Simperson's trademark "D'oh!"

2.America's Most Wanted ____________.

The show has helped arrest over I,100 fugitives(逃犯）since its debut in 1988.Many people thought highly of the series as they could enjoy a safer community.

3.Glee________________

Fox scored a sleeper hit with the musical series in 2009.But the show's real impact came between airings. As most of the record industry failed .the Glee recordings found staggering success on iTunes .By the end of 2011, the cast had sold more 11 million albums and another 36 million single tracks. Meanwhile, the 2011 concert tour grossed more than $40 million.

4.Sex and the City__________

A 2011 Ohio State University study found that undergraduates who viewed an episode of Sex and the City were more than twice as likely to talk to their partners about sexual-health issues.

5.ER ____________

ER did more than make George Clooney a superstar. It also changed the way America ate. In three 2004 episodes, the show focused on the doctors' orders for a teenager with high blood pressure: exercise, and eat more fruits and vegetables. While the plot sounds humdrum, it scared viewers straight. In 2007, researchers from the University of Southern California's medical school found that viewers who caught these episodes had started walking or exercising more, eating more fruits and vegetables, or getting their blood pressure checked. How can anyone say watching TV is bad for you?
