A
(2011•天津卷•B)In the fall of 1985，I was a brighteyed girl heading off to Howard University，aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere．Twentyone years later I am still a brighteyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell．
My grandma，an amazing woman，graduated from college at the age of 65．She was the first in our family to reach that goal．But one year after I started college，she developed cancer．I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her．It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait．
