听力题 Born and raised in central Ohio, I''m a country girl through and through. I''m currently studying to become a physical therapist, a career path that marks a greater achievement for me. At Ohio State University, admission into the physical therapy program is intensely competitive. I made it pass the first cuts the first year I applied, but was turned down for admission. I was crushed, 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. I just couldn''t do it. I knew I could not be as happy in another profession. So I stilled myself, began to work seriously for another year and reapplied. Happily I received notice of ray admission. Later, I found out that less than 15% of the applicants had been offered positions that year. Now in the first two years of professional training, I couldn''t be happier with my decision not to give up on my dream. My father told me that if I wanted it badly enough, I would get in. "Well, Daddy, I wanted it. So there." After graduation, I would like to travel to another country, possibly a Latin American country and work in a children''s hospital 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. I would like to change that somehow.
