Question Try to fill in the missing words: Both of my parents have graduated with their associate degree, so it was really BLANK 1 of 22 for me to graduate with my bachelor’s degree at least. So right out of high school I went to the University of Cincinnati, but I only made it about two semesters there before I gave up. I can’t recall why, but I just BLANK 2 of 22 that it wasn’t for me to be there. I went on about, working some jobs, and then eventually I enrolled into a trade school for TV and BLANK 3 of 22 – but I still always had it in the back of my mind that I wanted to graduate from college, and I’d BLANK 4 of 22 the statistic about if you didn’t go to college right outside of high school, then you probably wouldn’t go back. So I was BLANK 5 of 22 to beat that statistic. So eventually in 2005 I enrolled at a BLANK 6 of 22 college called the College of Mount Saint Joseph. Since I had been out of school for a couple of years at that point, it was a BLANK 7 of 22 change. I really enjoyed doing the work, and I actually joined to major in computer science – and I did pretty well for a couple of semesters. But then I had some very difficult personal BLANK 8 of 22 arise and my grades suffered severely. I failed a couple of classes and I nearly failed a few more. I was about ready to just give up and throw in the towel, but I was determined to see this through, and so I BLANK 9 of 22 what I wanted to do in college. I ended up changing my major over to communications. I was still overwhelmed with the BLANK 10 of 22 of completing it – I still had three years at that point. So what I decided to do was just kind of take everything one semester at a time, not focus on the long-term goal of BLANK 11 of 22, but focusing instead on the smaller short-term goals, giving myself these milestones to reach. Some classes were extremely boring to me, but I had a lot of classes that were a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed my creative BLANK 12 of 22 classes and any opportunity where I had the chance to just use my imagination. I used the classes that I enjoyed to help me get BLANK 13 of 22 the classes that I didn’t enjoy. It was a lot of hard work, there were a lot of sleepless nights, there were a lot of times when I procrastinated way too much and fell BLANK 14 of 22, but I stuck with it. I didn’t let the hard times get me BLANK 15 of 22. I kept my eye on the milestones and the goals that I had set for myself. Eventually I got to my senior BLANK 16 of 22, it was the last semester of school. And we had our biggest project – we had to use everything that we had learned up until that point and put it BLANK 17 of 22 into a big presentation for the class. And I was so very nervous. I really do enjoy getting up in front of people and speaking, but the moments leading up to that are very BLANK 18 of 22 for me. So I did what I do best, and I used my BLANK 19 of 22 and I made this project as fun as I possibly could. I talked about the benefits of YouTube and its applications in the learning BLANK 20 of 22 at the college. I met all of the scholastic requirements but I tried to make it as much fun as I could. And everybody BLANK 21 of 22 it, it was a great presentation. And in May of 2008 I graduated from the College of Mount Saint Joseph with my bachelor’s in communications. I was so happy to have finally accomplished the goal. It was such a long BLANK 22 of 22 – I beat that statistic.
