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 (縮小) 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.
