TextTranslation深沉而隱蔽的秘密在我作為高中生申請上大學之時，我只想上一所離家遠一些的大學，正如許多年輕人所認為的那樣，我認為自己的成功和成熟很大程度上取決于我上的大學離家有多遠，以及最終所找到的工作，可結果是，我父母不愿意支付我上學四年中的感恩節、圣誕節以及暑假的機票錢，我不得不在車程為幾小時的學校中進行選擇,我向本州和鄰州的兩所學校提出了申請,這在當時一點都不奇怪。135TextATextTranslation最后，我選擇了一所距離我家有一小時車程的學校，因為這所學校提供給我高額的獎學金，我現在仍記得我朋友的母親帶著不屑一顧的口吻說：“那么，你就決定扎根在你家附近了啊？”我給自己及他人的回答或掩飾就是：我免去了遠在千里之外的勞頓之苦，不必長途跋涉地回家，也不必給家打電話。236TextATextTranslation但我卻經常打電話，也常回家，我這樣做的理由就是大學畢業后我就會搬走了，在經濟上也就不再依靠父母了，我還抓住作為本科生的每一次外出的機會，利用學藝術的學習項目，在法國學習了半年，在紐約市學習了三個月。我知道我父母會告訴他們的朋友和鄰居我遠在異國他鄉的經歷，這也讓我感到我彌補了選擇在離家較近的學校學習的不足。337TextATextTranslation當我再有機會選擇讀研究生的學校時，我則在全國范圍內進行申請，首選一所距離我家有好幾個州遠的學校，這所學校接收了我，我立即就答應了。在計劃和打點的興奮心情中我忽略了一個事實，那就是這將是我第一次離開家，并且不知道這不是暫時性的，不會很快回來
