In August 2000, I walked onto the campus of Illinois State University(ISU)as a simple, quiet girl from a small rural town. There were more freshmen here than the population of my  21  hometown. Standing by myself, I was all of a sudden  22  by strangers from various backgrounds. I was  23  with this place and, for the first time in my life, I felt  24  .

    Over time, I realized that everyone around  25  the same. The strangers soon became friends, and the campus turned into one where I found  26  . Before I knew it, ISU became my“ 27 ”away from home.

    Throughout the four years, I learned a lot I had not learnt from my  28  . I realized that you  cannot  29  late Thursday night and still pass your Friday exam; that pizza three times a day will gain the  30  15 pounds. I also figured out who I was as a person and found the best  31  family in the friends.

    The bittersweet day came when I had to  32  the college chapter of my life. I thought I would  33  , but I didn’t . I knew I would have my college years, my friends and  34  , with me forever. I even had a sense of  35  that my four years of difficult classes finally paid off.

    However,  36  hit the day after graduation. For three months I was  37  ,not to mention I had loans(贷款)to repay and no  38  .

    This January, I received an offer from a school three hours away from home. I will move on, with  39   I had on that first day of college, to the place I again will call home. But I believe I will  40  it!
