People say going to college will change your life and that everyone should have the chance to challenge themselves with a college experience. But my parents never had that opportunity. __36__
All during high school I wondered if I would go to college and if I would have what my parents never had. I would think about my future, about college and what I wanted to do when I grew up. But then there were thoughts of not going, of believing what others said about college and thinking I had no chance to go.
As I reached the end of junior year, I knew I needed to make a decision. __37__ I felt somewhat sad. One day I was having a conversation with my volleyball coach. We talk all the time, but that day college was the topic. __38__ However, what she told me was encouraging. Thoughts flew through my mind about what I wanted to become and what colleges I might be interested in. She mentioned things I had no idea about, like scholarships and financial aid that can help you pay for college. All this information inspired me to continue. She told me about her college experience and all the fun times she'd had. __39__
This conversation changed me. __40__ If I hadn't talked with her, I wouldn't know where I would be today. I now want to make something of myself. I want to become somebody that I wasn't before. I want to go to college.
A. She made the decision that she should continue her education.
B. She told me not to miss out on it because I would regret it.
C. It made me feel comfortable with myself and helped me believe in myself.
D. She knew my family could not easily afford my college expenses.
E. They didn't have the money or family to help or motivate them.
F. I didn't have money and knew my parents didn't either.
G. Both my parents are very grateful to her for the advice she gave.
