2．My childhood was less than ideal--in fact，I was the only girl in my family who did not run away from home during adolescence．（76）G．Coming from a blue-collar family and an easy rural high school to a white-collar university that gave a"C"for work that would be a"B"at another school，I felt like a misfit financially，culturally，and educationally．
Somehow I made it through my freshman year，and headed back for the second year．（77）F．
Barb seemed the exact opposite of me（78）E．．One day I watched Barb draw while waiting for class to start．I sighed，thinking how Barb could do anything she wanted to：draw，paint，sing，and play the guitar．
（79）B．"I wish I was artistic，"I replied．
"Mary，"she said in amazement．"You ARE artistic!"
I figured she was just being nice，but if Barb thought I was artistic，there must be something to it，even if I thought my only artistic abilities were with words．Thanks to her，I learned to recognize my artistic abilities．
This summer I wrote to Barb and reminded her of that conversation．（80）C．I had removed a closet in my bedroom for more space，and needed to choose colors and wall hangings．I felt quite upset．Just as I was about to give up，I heard Barb's voice in my memory，"Mary，you ARE artistic!"With her words ringing in my head，I found the perfect color for the walls and the perfect pictures for the walls．
Thanks，Barb，for believing in me all those years ago．

F．I'm so glad I went back，because that was the year I met Barb．
