　　Section B

　　Passage 1

　　Born and raised in central Ohio, I am a country girl through and through. (我是个地道的乡下丫头。

) I am currently studying to become a physical therapist, a career path that marked great achievement for me. At Ohio State University, admission into the physical therapist program is intensely competitive. (录取竞争很激烈。)I made it pass for applying for the program the first year, but it was turned down for admission(但是未被录取) I was crashed (我崩溃了)，because for years I have been determined to become a physical therapist. I received advice from friends and relatives about changing my major and finding another course for my life (我的亲戚朋友们奉劝我改变专业，选择另外的人生道路). I just could not do it. I knew I could not be as happy in another profession. So I still for myself and begin to work seriously for another year and reapplied. Happily I received notice of my admission. Later, I found out that less than 50% of the applicants had been offered positions that year. Now in the first two years of professional training, I could not be happier with my decision not to give up my dream. My father told me that if I want it badly enough, I would get in. Well, Daddy, I wanted it, so there.(我想得到，所以就得到了。) After graduation, I went to travel to another country, possibly a Latin American country and work in a children’s hospitals for a year or two. So many of the children there are physically handicapped but most hospitals don’t have the funding to hire trained staff to care for them properly (但是医院里面没有钱雇佣受过训练的医生给这些残疾儿童恰当的治疗). I would like to change that somehow.
