I met Billy the last summer before college. He was handsome and his irreverence(玩世不恭) was  31 to me. We liked each other the first instant we met.   32 , I was a straight A student and my parents had high hopes for me to  33  an Ivy League (常春藤联盟) school. Billy did not concentrate all his attention  34 his study and school life. However, we were in love --- so  35 teenager love. I still remember we had a plan for prom(舞会). It was understood that we had  36  about where we would dance and drink and party together.

  This meant one thing to my parents---panic. And it grew as the  37  letters began to roll in. Of the eleven schools I applied to, nine accepted me. And one of them was Brown University---the Ivy League _ 38  in 1770 in historic Providence, Rhode Island.

  There was no  39  that I was drawn to Brown, but Billy (who had joined the army) was __40  down south and I had offers  41 for me there, too. I was torn between my love for him and my family  42  .

  One week  43 the start of school, my mother had a talk with me. She said I was eighteen years old and I had a  44  to make--- one that went   45 beyond the choice of  46  to attend university.

  In August, I  47 and drove north to Providence. It took several months to  48  that my life was moving on in a way that was completely different from Billy’s. Brown changed my life, opening doors and giving me the  49 I now use to think, to learn and to write. Life is always about  50 it seems, and the older I get, the more I understand this. Still, there are times when I think of Billy because he taught me about love.
