And then it hit her—it was all of the youth leadership conferences that she had volunteered  42 , and the communications and leadership courses she had taken as elective courses back at Ohio State. “How could I have been so  43 ? Here I am in my fourth year at school and just finally realizing I’m on the  44  path. I just never took the time to  45  it until now, ” she thought.
