Mom, Dad, I’m going to college! Can you believe it? I never thought it
could happen. 16 middle school and part of high school, I 17 to
keep up. I was not a bad student,but I just didn’t understand 18 they were
teaching because I have a learning 19. I wanted to show everyone I could
graduate and go to 20 . I wanted to make something of myself, and 21
I wasn’t a failure.
22 the time came to choose a college, I wasn’t sure which would be the best for me. I knew I didn’t 23 to go to a big school, which narrowed(缩小) my 24 to a small
college which could be 25 for me with a learning disability. I looked in
Florida and found three schools. I 26 two, but they just didn’t 27.Then I visited Beacon College. Beacon is mainly for
students who have learning disabilities and it has small classes.
The day when I was 28 by
Beacon College was the happiest day of my life. I received the call from the
school 29 me I was accepted just as I was sitting down for dinner. My
family was so 30, and I was ready to pack that night and move to
Florida. The expectation of going to college 31 the rest of my senior
year.
The closer the time came, the
more nervous I became about being in a(n) 32 place. Finally my parents
and I packed the car and 33 Florida. After a two-day drive, we arrived.
“Welcome to Beacon College! It is so nice to see you!” I heard 34 from the teachers and students, as we were
introduced. I felt so 35 to hear those cheerful voices. I knew I had
found a perfect(理想的)school. I had found my home for the next four years.
