I asked the nurses in the hospital, who thought it   35  that I didn’t have anyone in particular to see.   36 , they gave me the room number of a(n)   37  lady, who needed some comfort.
I entered the room with the flowers. The elderly woman looked up, staring at me   38 . She was greatly moved when I told her about my   39  in being there. She was an amputee(被截肢者) and she explained to me that she was very worried   40  they were going to fit her with prosthetic leg(假肢). She knew that as she was getting used to the “  41 ”leg, she would be in  42  .
Later, in the following two hours, we  43  a lot and both felt very happy. I  44  until it was dark. I will always remember how   45  she was the moment she received the flowers from me—a   46  . She called me her angel and said she had no more   47  .
I   48  that story with my neighbor and she   49  that she was going to do the same thing on her birthday. And I hope that she will   50  others to be kind and do the same thing. You never know you might be considered someone’s angel one day.

The letter was a great disappointment to me. It was from Holy Cross, the only school I really wanted to  41 . I scanned the page, “…. We had a great applicant pool this year. …We can’t offer spaces to   42  … and place you on our waiting list.”
“What does it say, honey?” my dad asked, his voice full of   43  for me.
“I didn’t get in, but I’m on the waiting list.”
“Well, at least it isn’t   44 ,” he said brightly.
“Yeah, but   45 , I don’t want to be on the waiting list; I want to be   46 . No one gets in off the waiting list. It’s a way of saying ‘Thanks for   47 ’.”
“Then let’s go out there and tell them so.”
“That sounds   48 , dad.” I said sadly, “It doesn’t work.”
Upset and annoyed, I   49  myself in my room. However,my father’s advice kept   50  in my head. I thought about it for a few days, finally coming to the   51  that he was right. And the next day I seated myself across from Mr. Luis Soto, my admissions officer.
“What can I do for you, Nacie?” he asked pleasantly.
“Well, sir, I am here to tell you that I love this school and would love a   52  to be here. I just wanted to tell you how much going here would   53  to me—it is my only dream college— and that I would use my time here to the best   54 . I wanted to let you know that if you gave me a chance and reconsidered my application, you wouldn’t   55  it.” The words had poured out  56 I could stop them or check their desperate tone.
Mr. Soto looked me over for a minute before he smiled broadly.
“OK, that is the kind of thing we love to hear. Congratulations, you’re in.”
It was so   57  and I asked, “I’m sorry?”
“We want people in the class who want to be here, who will   58  the best of this education. I’m glad you came to talk   59  to me. I’m happy to offer you a position in the Class of 2009.”
The whole experience taught me a lesson: if you truly want something, never, ever   60 .
