When I was a teenager growing up in France, I wanted to leave school and have my own life. The only way I could this was to work in the local paper factory in my town, or get married. I was very nervous when I told my I wanted to leave school. I thought he would say, “ You are going to college.” I was very when he said, “OK. Let’s go to the paper factory.”
Two days later, took me to the factory. I imagined everyone to be friends, together and having fun. I even imagined there would be music and singing. I I had watched too many movies as a teenager.
When we the factory gate, my father spoke to the guard(门卫) and one minute later we were . I walked around the factory looking at the building, the workers, and listening to the noise. It was . I ran back to my father and said, “I want to go home.”
He asked me, “What do you think of the ?”
“Too bad,” I answered.
“And marriage is even !” he said.
I went back to school the next day thinking about studying hard I could get into a good college. I studying English so I decided to major in(主修) languages at college. Thanks to my father and our to the paper factory, I now work at the United Nations and my father is very proud of me. I married a very good man and my life is much better than it would have been working in the factory!
