But then I told a friend of mine, hoping that he would __6__ me and say something like, “You should totally quit.” But __7__ he said something like, “Well, either you can get annoyed about it __8__ you can get it done.”

I took more courses than I ever had, and within six months I finished my __9__ course, and got my BA at last.

After college graduation, I didn't have the __10__ to go into my field to get a good job. But six months of __11__ got me the reference to change that. And another few months at that first low-paying job got me into my second, much __12__ job.

I had to work first for free for a little bit and then work a low-paying job in my field __13__ I could step up, and I did it. But people don't want to take those small __14__. They think. “Oh, well, I don't want to __15__ my time volunteering—it won't __16__ me out.”

This is not just about work experience, though. Lots of people don't see results __17__， so they give up. Six months isn't so __18__， but it's powerful enough to make some amazing __19__ to your work experience, to your life in a __20__ way. You can change so much in that time.
