Inthefallof1985,Iwasabright-eyedgirlheadingofftoHowardU...

In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming for a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed 36          and one with quite a different tale to tell.

My grandma, a (n) 37        woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that 38         . But one year after I entered college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to 39         her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to 40          .

Then I got married with another dream: building my family from a 41         of adopted and biological children(亲生孩子). In 1999, we adopted our first son. A year later came our second adopted boy. 42          , the  following year ,we adopted son number three. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.

You can 43         how totally occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of eight. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprisingly, I never did 44         it back to college full-time. But I never 45         my dream either. I had only one choice: make it work. That meant taking as 46          as one class each semester.

The hardest part was feeling 47          about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to 48           home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to  49 .        But I knew I should set a(n) 50          for them to follow through the rest of their lives.

In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!

I am not 51         just single-minded(专心的). It always 52         me that from the  53         , challenges look huge, but when you’re in the midst of them, the same ones seem  54          . Not everything you want arrives in your life in one day. It’s a(n) 55          . Remember: little steps can lead to big dreams.
