In a way, I spent my last sixteen years preparing for college. In the second half of my life, I put my heart into developing who I was and finding out what was important to me. I spent a lot of time and effort fighting with my 36 in the first half of my life, not because I didn't want to learn, but because I couldn't focus(专注). For some 37 , I couldn't solve the problem. So I dropped out of a private school in my first grade and then a public school in my fourth. Finally, I left my high school and 38 my early twenties working at gas stations and doing labor jobs(体力活).
With the Internet taking over everyone's life, I began to 39 the things that would never have been possible ten years ago. A strong thirst for knowledge began to be awoken in me. History, politics, and science — I wanted to know everything! It 40 at this point that my mother started going to college in her fifties. She 41 me to go as well but I was still unsure of what college could do for me and afraid of what it couldn't. At the same time, I started moving up at my job and 42 my blue collars(衣领) into white ones. It was in my sixth year at the company that my mother graduated (毕业) from college when she was 57 years old. It was a(an) 43 act that firmed my belief that anyone can do anything. I knew that I had gone as far as I could in my company without having a good education. Also, I was 44 of the orders and boring daily life. I wanted to do something important in my life — I wanted to make a 45 . Because of my mother, I believe that anyone can do anything. Last year, I gave up my job and devoted my life to higher education.
