Jack was not a stupid kid, nor was he the cleverest student. He didn’t care for school. With his “I’d rather be fishing” opinion, Jack missed a lot of classes. Knowing that graduating from middle school was not going to be written in his life, Jack left school at the age of fourteen.

Jack then was taken to his uncle’s farm in Wisconsin. At the age of eighteen, he went to California. He found a good job at an aircraft (飞机) company there. He had to lie (撒谎) about his education. Worrying that his background (学历) was found out, Jack was employed there.

Two years later, Jack got married. To better his life, he got his high school diploma (毕业文凭). He chose to learn automotive technology (汽车技术) as well. Sadly, this was terminated when he took his wife and son back to his uncle’s farm. Jack found a job as a worker in a wire factory. Seven years later, Jack realized he was not going to work there all his life. He wanted to be an automobile engineer, so he left there again.

Because of hard work, Jack joined a junior college to learn automotive technology in the state of California. Though it was hard for him to remember, he studied hard for two years and finally received his diploma. Jack went on to work as an automotive technician for an excellent company. Within a year he was an engineer.
