I start to take out my books,  3. full well that I will be  4. on the same page of Socrates that I’ve been on for the better part of the semester. Of course, it’s   5.  —for my group that is. I wait for the empty chairs around me to be   6.  .

It is  18. about finding a little haven where you can create what will be the most important thing in your life—yourself. At a school of thirty-five thousand people, I found a small place that was as   19. to me as my Social Security number.

Through laughter, tears, learning, growing and the   20. free ice cream, we found a sanctuary. A place where we could be ourselves.
