The author was thrown into jail when he was 18 years old. At that moment the young author felt regretful for what he had done and afraid of the time he would lose in prison. At first, he longed for freedom, and he felt so painful that he couldn't write letter to his family and friends for his writing and reading skills were so crappy. He then made up his mind to change. As he said" Jail has turned from a negative experience into a positive one", he made a goal for himself and he tried hard to achieve his goal. In the end, his hard work had feedback. He could read and write well, and he could even write poems.

According to this story, I really admire the author. With a strong will, the author combated every obstacle he encountered, and I want to learn his spirit. For me, a person who never thinks of majoring English, feel a little bit frustrated and panic about the lack of ability.
