25、It was a warm April day that I received a big fat envelop from the only college I desired to go. I couldn’t help feeling delighted (高兴地) once my eyes fixed on the word “congratulations”.

Then I looked at my financial (财务) package. The cost of dream school’s tuition (学费), room and board was around $ 40, 000-an impossible sum!

How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition?

In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn’t sure what to do.

One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents’ financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend.

At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus including guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus (校园) . As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.

As the president (校长) ended his speech, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years fighting there.

In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my “dream” university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.
