  ready for college.I was frightened and didn't know what to do.

  My parents agreed that I was short of talent."Maybe you should go to preparatory school (预科学校) for an additional year," my mother suggested.Preparatory school?Was she crazy? I wasn't the greatest student,but I couldn't go to a preparatory school.I thought that was for stupid kids-kids who don't get good jobs or succeed in life.

  My grandfather,who recently passed away,has had the greatest influence on my life.I knew that he graduated from a top college,Bowdoin,but I didn't know whether this was my best bet,and feared finding the perfect school would be difficult.

  Then,I heard about New Hampton School from a friend and decided to visit.I was blown away and immediately felt comfortable.I became hesitant (犹豫的) to visit other schools because I couldn't imagine any other would be as educating as New Hampton.The staff gave me a warm feeling,which meant a lot to a kid from a small town.Even though I'm a senior,I will be able to better prepare myself for college at New Hampton School.I feel the staff will help me get that extra year of development to make sure that I will be ready for college.Then I'll go.
