Over the past sixteen years of my life,I have grown to be a very independent person.This can be both good and bad in the sense that I am able to do things_21_my own,yet at times struggle with taking advice from others. Sometimes,hearing what other people have to say can be one of the hardest things to do.However,getting advice from _22_cares about you can impact your life in

great ways.Because of this,I began realizing that my mom's guidance throughout my life has never steered me wrong.This is why I believe you_23_always listen to your mother.

This belief has not been easy_24_(realize).It has taken endless amounts of time in which I decided to go against what my mom had to say,and later discovered that she was right.I think we can all agree that_25_(admit) your mom was right is always a hard thing to do.But what else are you supposed to say_26_you are standing outside in the freezing cold,shaking because you did not wear that extra jacket you_27_(tell) to wear?

When I was twelve years old,I had the experience of a lifetime.However,I would have missed out if it hadn't been for my mom.She had been planning a trip to Turkey for work,_28_ (offer) to bring my sister and me along with her.When I first heard about this opportunity,I was terrified. Never had I been out of the country before.I thought to _29_,"Is she crazy?"My mom then began to say,"_30_is known to all,one needs to step out of his comfort zone and try something new in order to encounter larger-than-life ideas."After going back and forth with my own thoughts,I decided to go on the trip.And boy,she was right.Going to Turkey will forever be one of my greatest memories and I am thankful I got to visit that amazing country.

"While the past two years have been a time of significant innovation,the pace must speed up,"the authors wrote in the opening of the report."Too often,digital progress has been accomplished through workarounds;now we must tear apart the barriers.We must_32_between mission and tradition: what we do because it's essential to our values and what we do because we've always done it."

The report indicates how far the paper has come in_33_itself to the digital age while also pointing out what needs to be done.

The areas that need_34_are focused on the newsroom,particularly in the tools and internal structures that journalists must deal with to produce their work.

Many of the report's recommendations are_35_to anyone who closely follows the Times or newspapers in general: A(n)_36_away from print's outsized importance on the newsroom's operations,better ways to include multimedia in stories and a renewed effort at creating a more diverse newsroom with a variety of skills.
