War started in our house in late July with a month to go before my first day of college. It was a battle of wills(意愿) over what college I was to attend. Mom wanted me to attend a famous 16 school, and I wanted to go to a small writing college. Every night for two weeks, we argued, shouted until both sides went to bed with 17.
It was mostly my fault(过错). Since my junior year of high school, I had wanted to be a nurse. I took all the science courses, and even worked as a 18 in my town's local hospital. My 19 was to help the sick and be superwoman to the world.
Yet, as graduation and college neared, it all 20. Treating the sick was great, but not what I was meant to do for the rest of my life. I could picture 21 in hospitals, making rounds, and taking temperatures, but I couldn't picture myself happy. It wasn't the 22 I wanted.
Then, I realized I had been creating and writing stories since I could 23. I loved it, and writing was what I had been doing as a 24. It was going to be my career. And it had to be.
On August lst, Mom and I sat down at the dinner table and I told her that she had every right to 25 where to spend her money, just like I had every right to decide where I wanted to go to school. If it was her choice not to 26 any of my college education, then I would take a year off to work and make money so I could go to the college I wanted.
Standing by my decision to be a 27 had proven my firm belief to my mom. Finally we were 28, and she decided to support me, which meant the world to me.
Before that time, I had never stood up 29 my parents on any major decision. Choosing which college to attend 30 me to become a separate and complete adult. I am now finished with my first term as a Professiona1 Writing major and I cannot wait to see what comes next.
