I met Billy the last summer before college. He was handsome and his irreverence（玩世不恭）was  36  to me. We liked each other the first instant we met．37  ，I was a straight Astudent and my parents had high hopes for me to  38   an Ivy League（常春藤聯(lián)盟）school.Billy did not 39  into the equality. We were in love nevertheless-that 40  teenage love．I still remember we had a plan for prom（舞會(huì)）．It was understood that we had  41  about where we would dance and drink and party together.

    This meant one thing to my parents-panic．And it grew as the  42  letters began to roll in. Of the eleven schools I applied to，nine accepted me. And one of them was Brown University-the Ivy League college   43  in historic Providence，Rhode Island．

    There was no  44  that I was drawn to Brown，but Billy (who had joined the army）was  45  down south and I had offers   46  for me there，too. I was torn between my love for him and my family  47  ．

    One week   48   the start of school，my mother had a talk with me．She said I was eighteen years old and I had a  49  to make---one that went  50  beyond the choice of  51  to attend university.

    In August，I  52  and drove north to Providence．It took several months to  53  that my life was moving on in a way that was completely different from Billy's，Brown changed my life，opening doors and giving me the  54  I now use to think，to learn and to write. Life is always about  55  it seems，and the older I get，the more I understand this. Still，there are times when I think of Billy because he taught me about love．
