Sheryl said that she had been living below the poverty line in her childhood, but she had to be happy because her mother gave her the best thing a mother could give her, and that was love. When she applied for College, there was a school, and the enrollment introduction wrote: If you are admitted, then your family can also attend classes for free, get credits, and get a diploma. At that time, she was 17 years old, and Xin said that of course she couldn't go to this place. But her mother told her that going to college was her always hope. So she negotiated with her mother, that is, when she saw her pretending not to know each other at school, she went to this school with her mother. In the first grade, my mother became the best student, but she disliked the private school of the Catholic Church and wanted to transfer to U of Minnesota. Her mother was very happy to encourage her: OK, I will go with you. So, both transferred to Mingda.
After her mother passed away, she slumped to her senior year at school. The homework in the last class was called nose, writing about a man who lost his nose. She instantly realized that it was a theme describing the loss of your true love in life. Sitting in the classroom unable to write. So it failed and didn't get an undergraduate degree. A few years later, it became an obstacle when she applied for graduate school, so she wrote back. It was still in the 90s and begged the school to give her an undergraduate degree certificate. The school wrote back saying that as long as you complete any course, we can give you a certificate. So according to her imagination, she chose the easiest intro to latin. Then she was tortured for a semester.
She ran a trick in the movie, which was the woman who brought Renee to her at the beginning of the movie and told her good luck. She said that she was very entangled at the time.

She came to feel "good luck, bitch!".
She said that many questions asked by the audience were when she couldn't get up with a big bag on her back in the hotel, why did she go on the road without quit. There were countless opportunities that she could give up, why didn't she give up. She told a story. Last summer, she went to France with her family to participate in a writers workshop. One day when I went out to play and saw the sport of flying down from the mountain, her 8-year-old son was going to play. She tried to stop him in various ways. Her son said, "Mom, I know it's scary, but fear can't be the only reason why I don't do something, right?" She said that at that moment she found the answer to those who asked her why she didn't quit. Courage is the theme of this book. Courage is not not fearless, but fear of being present, and you still move forward.
She said that she wrote this book not because she finished the PCT, but because she was a writer.
