War started in our house in late July with a month to go before my first day of college. It was a battle of wills over what college I was to attend. Mom wanted me to attend a famous

  16   school, and I wanted to go to a small writing college. Every night for two weeks, we argued, shouted and gave   17   treatments until both sides went to bed with regrets.

It was mostly my   18  . Since my junior year of high school, I had   19   at being a nurse. I took all the science courses, and even worked as a   20   in my town’s local hospital. My   21   was to help the sick and be superwoman to the world.

Yet,   22   graduation and college neared, it all changed. Treating the sick was

  23  , but not what I was meant to do for the   24   of my life. I could picture myself in hospitals, making rounds, and taking   25  , but I couldn’t picture myself happy. It wasn’t the

  26   I wanted.

Then, I realized I had been creating and writing stories for as long as I could   27  .  I loved it, and writing was what I had been doing as a   28  . It was going to be my career. And it had to be.

On August 1st, Mom and I sat down at the dinner table and I told her that she had every

  29   to choose where to spend her money, just like I had every right to decide where I wanted to go to school. If it was her choice not to   30   any of my college education, then I would take a year off to work and earn money so I could go to the college I wanted.

Standing by my decision to be a writer had   31   my firm belief to my mom. Finally we were at   32  , and she decided to support me, which   33   the world to me.

Before that time, I had never stood up   34   my parents on any major decision. Choosing which college to attend   35   me to become a separate and complete adult. I am now finished with my first semester as a Professional Writing major and I cannot wait to see what comes next.
