I’m someone who never went to university but always thought about it. The only 1 I got
familiar with university was listening to my children talk about their class and all the interesting things they were 2 . University was just a life-long 3 of mine. I just turned sixty-four years old in September. I still thought about that old dream 4 one day when there was an Advanced-Age programme at the local university, I decided to 5 .
The day finally arrived—my first day of school. As I 6 there, my mind was filled with negative thoughts, “What am I doing? I’m not smart enough to go to university. The 7 will laugh when they see me in class. I probably won’t live long enough to get a 8 . Maybe I should just turn the car around and go home. ”

I 9 a little a nd read the words next to his picture. “Live your dreams. ” Was Kermit speaking to me? I didn’t turn the car around.
I drove a little further on up the highway and there was another 10 . This one had a picture of Albert Einstein with his tongue 11 out. A line read, “As a student, he was no Einstein.” And there was a word in red, “Confidence”. A new attitude was 12 inside me.
I was now 13 the gate of the university and there stood still another billboard. This one showed a photograph of a proud 14 in a cap and gown. Under the picture was her 15 , Nola Otis, aged 95. Oldest University Graduate. Below it was the words, “Live Life”. At that moment, my outlook changed completely.

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my 1 . Week by week her list grew: I was very thin; I wasn’t a(n) 2 student; I talked too much; I was too 3 , always feeling superior to(胜过) others, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. 4 , I became very angry. I ran to my father with 5 in my eyes.
He 6 to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever 7 what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s 8 . Go and 9 a list of everything she said and mark the points that are 10 . Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did 11 he told me. To my great 12 , I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t 13 (like being very thin), but a good number I could, and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I went to a fairly 14 picture of myself.
I brought the list back to daddy. He 15 to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know 16 than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to 17 , not just close your ears in 18 , feeling hurt when something said about you is true. You’ll find it of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your affairs. Don’t 19 your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has always 20 me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.
