年少时的梦想似乎总是随着岁月的蹉跎而消失殆尽,再回首时也只能以梦想败给了“现实”这个凝重的字眼而聊以自慰。然而,作者却不甘如此,她从自己的忙碌生活中抽出时间通过努力学习,历经七年拿到了考古学的荣誉学位,最终实现了自己的梦想。
Like most individuals on this planet, I have spent a good deal of time fantasizing[1] about the life I would have if only I could choose. I would be more confident. I would be more adventurous. I would get more education and get a better paying job. I would choose satisfying and complimentary[2] relationships. I would feel like I had a valid[3] place in this world.
As much time as I spent fantasizing, however, I probably spent even more time wallowing in the misery of my real life and making excuses about why I couldn’t accomplish these things.[4] I began to assume[5] that every day would be the same as the last. I even started to believe that dreams were for kids and for irresponsible people that intended to bounce[6] from one failure to the next.
Then, one day I had an epiphany[7]. At the time, I was a housewife raising three small children. Though I have the amazing ability to stretch a dime into a dollar, money was always extremely tight.[8] My life centered around taking care of my children and finding ways to stretch the budget just to pay for the necessities of life.[9]
