B(期中·天津外大附校)

As somebody who's spent a great deal of time being jobless or an aimless student, I've felt like I'm doing 1 with my life.
I've seen people like me who just 2 their situation. You can 3 your whole life saying "It's too hard. I'm not going to do it," or "I'll start tomorrow."
But the good news is, six months is 4 to turn your life around for the better.
A few years ago, I went to see one of my teachers in college, thinking I had a couple of courses left 5 I graduated. It turned out that I had nine courses left.
I just wanted to 6 on getting my degree(学位). But then a friend of mine said, "Well, you can either complain about your courses or you can get them done."
I took more 7 than I ever had, and within six months I had finished.
After graduating, I didn't have the experience to get an incredible(极好的) 8 right away.
Six months of volunteering got me the references(推荐信) I needed to change that. And a few months at a low-paying job got me into a second job that was much better.

In just half a year, you can change your whole life.
