Sometimes giving someone a helping hand is just simple．But sometimes it works like a 36 that opens a door to a whole new world of understanding．

Living in a small all-white 　37　 in the Midwest, my family and I were 38　 that we were safe from the race riots （暴亂） in some larger cities．That 　39　 when I began working at a bank in a larger city nearby．My family　 40　 gave me advice on whom to avoid, what situation to stay away, and how to 　41　 myself．

On a snowy　 42　 after work, I guided my second-hand car out onto the street and knew 　43 I didn't have to stop, it would keep running．The battery needed replacing．

However, as I expected the car choked and died at a red light．Fortunately, to my 　44 ，I saw a pair of headlights coming up．But 　45　 three young black men jumped out of the car, I could hardly　 46 - fear filled me．

The driver came to my windows and asked if I needed help．I 　47 for a moment and then nodded．The fellows crowded around at once and　 43__ working．As one of them connected the two engines by cables, my nerve （神經(jīng)） jumped with so much electricity I think I could have charged the 49 and brought it back to life．But thankfully they 50 completed the project．

I pulled out a few　 51 from the purse, "It's all I have but it's yours, I appreciate the help．Thank you．"

The driver must have seen the 52　 still in my eyes because he smiled, seeming to be 53 by my panic, and then waved his hand, "You　 54　 it．Just glad to help．"

This experience taught me that I should never simply 　55 anyone according to their skin color or race or wealth．

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 (常春藤聯(lián)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(舞會). 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.
