Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to make money for my schooling.

One day, my mother was sewing a quilt(縫被子). I silently sat beside her. "Mum, is there love between you and Dad?" I asked in a very low voice.

With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. Then she said, "Susan, look at this thread(線). It can hardly be seen, but it' s really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside. "

I couldn' t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.

After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple.

After two months my father still couldn' t walk by himself. "Dad, how are you feeling now?" I asked him one day.

"Susan, don' t worry about me," he said. "I just like walking with your mum. I like this kind of life." Reading his eyes, I knew he loves my mother deeply.

Now I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

People say going to college will change your life and that everyone should have the chance to challenge themselves with a college experience. But my parents never had that opportunity. 1.________

All during high school I wondered if I would go to college and if I would have what my parents never had. I would think about my future, about college and what I wanted to do when I grew up. But then there were thoughts of not going, of believing what others said about college and thinking I had no chance to go.

As I reached the end of junior year, I knew I needed to make a decision. 2.________ I felt somewhat sad. One day I was having a conversation with my volleyball coach. We talk all the time, but that day college was the topic. 3.________ However, what she told me was encouraging. Thoughts flew through my mind about what I wanted to become and what colleges I might be interested in. She mentioned things I had no idea about, like scholarships and financial aid that can help you pay for college. All this information inspired me to continue. She told me about her college experience and all the fun times she'd had. 4.________

This conversation changed me. 5.________ If I hadn't talked with her, I wouldn't know where I would be today. I now want to make something of myself. I want to become somebody that I wasn't before. I want to go to college.

A. She made the decision that she should continue her education.

B. She told me not to miss out on it because I would regret it.

C. It made me feel comfortable with myself and helped me believe in myself.

D. She knew my family could not easily afford my college expenses.

E. They didn't have the money or family to help or motivate them.

F. I didn't have money and knew my parents didn't either.

G. Both my parents are very grateful to her for the advice she gave.
