Read the article about Steven Spielberg and answer the questions below.

Most people don't know this, but Steven Spielberg was rejected from film school three times. But he didn't let those rejections stop him, and kept applying until he got accepted. Eventually, California State University in Long Beach accepted him into their film program. He then used his opportunity there to get an unpaid internship at Universal Studios.

Of course, this internship didn't last forever, but it lasted just long enough for him to learn how to sneak into the studios undetected so he could continually gather information about how to become successful in the business.

Finally, the day came that he managed to get a film he created in the hands of film executives. But, he had to first overcome film executives' multiple attempts to make him give up. After being told that the film size was not the right size multiple times, and remaking the entire demo to the recommended sizes every time, the executives finally gave his film a chance. The movie went on to win major awards and solidified Spielberg's place within the industry.

Steven Spielberg is now one of the most influential filmmakers in history and one of the wealthiest filmmakers in the world. His story shows that if you knock long enough and hard enough, the doors of opportunity will eventually swing open for you.
