 At some point during my senior year，I started   24   everywhere，just because I wanted to see   25   I would get.I  had the required grades and the ACT (American College  Testing)  26  ，but I came from a town of nowhere.So you  can imagine the emotions of   27   I had when I received a big  envelope in the mail with the word “  28   ”written across the top.

Now that the opportunity was open to me，I decided to go.I had received   29   aid and scholarships，which I think was a    30   factor(因素)in the decision.But my parents didn't see    31   college as an opportunity for me to build up my   32  .And it seemed that no matter how much work I   33  ，it would just be considered a waste of   34  .I often felt I was lacking   35  .I did the application all by myself.After moving to the college，I did two jobs and paid for my   36   and bills.

“Why would you want to wrestle？”“Weren't you scared？” These are two of  the many   41   people raised when they find I am the only female in my  high-school wrestling team.They say they would   42   have the courage to  be a wrestler，let alone the   43   girl.The fact is that once my mind is set on  something，I am   44  .
