Although I had left school against the advice
of my teachers,I had ,without telling anyone, tried to continue my studies in literature at evening class . It was a tirsome walk
from one end of the city to another and to
sit among grown-ups was uninteresting . I was the youngest in the class , so the friendship I knew at school was absent . I put up with
it for a short period . It was too long a
walk on cold winter's nights and it was hard
to put my heart into Shakespeare with wet
shoes and trousers . So I continued reading books and started writing poems at home .
By chance , I won some prizes and awards for literature , A young woman from a TV company came to the college one day . She told me
that I had won a national Poetry award . I stared at her in astonishment and disbelief. She wanted to make a short film about me , about
which I said , “ No , I couldn’t do that.” Not that I had any real excuse . I was just frightened. In the end she persuaded me that I
should do it the following day .
So I did . They made a short film of me reading one of my poems and I became more interested in literature than ever . I wondered what I should do after this , and decided some
weeks later that I could not imagine myself
spending the test of my days working on machines . So one evening , I hesitatingly told my
parents that I wanted to return to school .
They were greatly surprised and , I think , a little afraid but they did not try to persuade me not to . They wanted to know if I was sure , if I knew what it meant and whether I realized that if I gave up my job training . It
would be very difficult to get a good job .
But nothing could stop me , and they asked about the matter no further.

我没有听从老师的劝告就离开了学校，而且没有告诉任何人，我就到夜校里继续我的文学课的学习。从城市的一边到另一边是一段使人厌倦的路程，而且坐在一群成年人中间也很没趣。我在这个班里是最年幼的，所以我感到学校里是缺乏友谊的。我忍受一小段时期。寒冷的冬夜真是太漫长，穿着弄湿的鞋子和裤子，要把我的心放到莎士比亚的心里真是很难。所以我在家里继续读书并开始写诗文。


意外地，我赢得一些文学作品的奖赏和奖金。一天，从电视台来了一个年青女人，到了我的大学，她告诉我说我获得了一项国家诗歌奖励。我吃惊地盯着她看，不相信我获奖了。她说她想要做一个关于我的短片，对此我说，“不，我不能做。”不是我有什么托辞，我只是吃惊。最后，她劝说我第二天来拍这个短片。
我同意了。他们就拍了一个我朗读我写的诗歌的短片，而从此后我比以前更加对文学感兴趣了。从这以后我不知道我还应该做些什么，几个星期以后，我决定不能把我的日子都用在围绕计算机而工作。所以一天晚上，我犹豫地告诉我父母说我想重新返回学校。他们都很诧异，我想是有点担心，但是他们没有劝阻我。他们想知道我是不是确定了，想知道我是否知道这意味着什么，而且如果我放弃工作锻炼，要找一个好工作非常困难。

但是什么事情也不能阻止我，而我父母也没有再过多的问这件事。
