我当时想我不知道该回答什么她继续说你最好去一所公立大学
04:46
because you won't be able to pay for this one  you will have a lot of problems you can't do it
31
286080
8820
因为你无法支付这所大学的费用你会遇到很多问题你做不到

38
359820
9180
正如我在通过考试之前告诉你的那样,我进去了,我很高兴,但我仍然不知道自己怎么
06:09
was going to pay for the University I think that  psychologists motivated me to take that decision
39
369000
7920
样去支付大学费用 我认为心理学家激励我做出这个决定
06:20
yeah I mean she told me I couldn't do it and  I didn't like what she said so I did it I know  
40
380400
8100

43
409200
8220
,他们给了我,这就是我可以支付大学费用的方式,但这是很多反正
07:02
the money I earned every month wasn't enough  by my second year of college I already owed  
44
422040

我吃得不好,记得我一个人住,大多数
09:11
of the times I didn't have enough  time to cook some healthy food  
58
551580

时候我没有足够的时间做一些健康的食物,
09:16
so I sometimes just fry something to it  or ordered something to eat for delivery
