And this is the closest Ive ever gotten to a college graduation. 我从来没有从大学中毕业。说实话,今天也许是在我的生命中离大学毕业最近的一天了。 Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. Thats it. No big deal. Just three stories. 今天我想向你们讲述我生活中的三个故事。不是什么大不了的事情,只是三个故事而已。 The first story is about connecting the dots. 第一个故事是关于如何把生命中的点点滴滴串连起来。 I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? 我在Reed大学读了六个月之后就退学了,但是在十八个月以后——我真正的作出退学决定之前,我还经常去学校。我为什么要退学呢？ It started before I was born.故事从我出生的时候讲起。 My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, 我的亲生母亲是一个年轻的,没有结婚的大学毕业生。 and she decided to put me up for adoption.

My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. 他们回答道: “当然！”但是我亲生母亲随后发现，我的养母从来没有上过大学,我的父亲甚至从没有读过高中。 She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college. 她拒绝签这个收养合同。只是在几个月以后,我的父母答应她一定要让我上大学,那个时候她才同意。 That was the start in my life.And 17 years later I did go to college. 在十七岁那年,我真的上了大学。 But I na
