Unlike high school where braces are often as common as ponytails, my crooked teeth (歪牙) had been embarrassing me when I had to wear braces (牙箍) at college. At first, my 1 made me feel self-conscious and 2 to smile. The money I had to 3 each month made me less willing to spend money on other things, like nice dinners or a new pair of jeans. And because I went to 4 out of state, I had to find the time to drive several hundred miles back home every time I needed a(n) 5 in hospital, which was usually every 6 to 8 weeks.
I got my braces off for the 6 time at the beginning of my last semester of college. I was 7 with the results, although I thought I liked my smile better after the first time I had got them off. Through this experience, I learned that you can 8 find something about your appearance that you don't like. If you can 9 it, cool. If no t, it's not the end of- the world. Once I got over the fact that my 10 was going to be a little rough for a while, I was able to go to parties and have fun.
