Emily was a very big fan of animals when she was a child. As a result, all she ever heard about growing up was "Emily, you should be a  36 _. You're going to be great in that field. That's what you should do.” _37 when she got to the Ohio State University, she took biology, anatomy, and chemistry, and started studying to be a vet.

A Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship(奖学金) allowed her to spend her 38 year studying abroad in Manchester, England. Away from the family and 39 from them, she found herself one day sitting at her desk, surrounded by biology books and staring out the window, when it suddenly hit her: "I'm in total 40 _. I don't want to be a vet!"

 41 she thought back over all the things she'd done in her life and what had made her happy. And then it hit her -- it was all of the youth leadership conferences(会议) that she had volunteered  42  and the communications and leadership courses she had taken as selective courses back at Ohio State.  "How could I have been so 43 ? Here I am in my fourth year at school and just finally realizing I'm on the_ 44 path. I just never took the time to 45  it until now,” she thought.

Inspired by her new 46 , Emily spent the rest of her year in England taking courses in communications and media studies. When 47 to Ohio State, she was eventually able to 48_    the administration(管理部门) to let her create her own program in "leadership studies", _49 it took her 2 years longer to finally graduate. She  50 to become a senior management consultant in leadership training and development for the Pentagon. She  51 founded a drug-prevention organization that conveys(传达) the __52__ "Lead your own life with the skill and the_ 53 to say no."

So, never live someone else's _54  . If you limit your _55 only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want.
