In the fall of 1985. I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, 　36 a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am 37 a bright-eyed dreamer and one 　38 quite a different tale to tell.

　 My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to 　39 that goal. But one year after I started college, she 40 cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to 　41 for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.

　 Then I got married with another 42 : building my family with a 43 of adopt and biological children. You can imagine how 　44 occupied I became, 45 four boys under the age of 81. Our home was a complete zoo. 　46 , I never did make it back to college full-time. 47 I never gave up on the dream , either. I had only one choice: to 48 a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester.

　　 The hardest part was feeling 　49 about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to 50 through the rest of their lives. In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！

I am not 　51 , just single-minded. It always 52 me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems 53 . Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a 　54 . Remember；little steps add up 　55 big dreams.
