题目内容：

College was the best of times and the worst of times for me. I met the best friends of my life, had 21experiences, but I also folded under more 22than I ever had to deal with before. 23bad grades, I ended up being asked to take a semester off at the end of the first semester of my senior year.

So I went back home to 24with my father and stepmother. To their credit, they understood me and were very cool about my coming back. I felt their 25from the moment I walked in the door. They 26to let me feel like a failure.

One morning not long after I had come home, my father woke me up saying that my stepmother 27on the kitchen floor. I went downstairs trying to perform CPR on her28it was too late. She was already dead of a massive heart attack.

I’ll never 29the look on my father’s face when he was given the official news of her passing. I knew at that moment that I had to be 30because he needed someone to lean on. It was as if our roles had 31and I was being the protective parent while he took the time to 32.

I guess the lesson I took from it is that even in our 33moments we can still be of help to someone who is 34something much harder. It’s so easy to close ourselves off to the things going on around us, and 35feel that we are the only ones 36. Helping someone else could actually help us 37ourselves.

Needlessly to say I went back to college the next semester, and I studied harder and got my 38. My father and I developed a bond that was39closer than it already was, and I have a much better ability to keep40times in perspective.（适当地）
