With the benefit of hindsight, I now know the job was to prepare me for life as a clerk or a laborer, but at the time it felt like the job was to kind of bore me into some submission with what was going on around me.
Con el beneficio de la retrospectiva, ahora sé que trataban de prepararme para la vida como dependiente o obrero, pero al mismo tiempo sentí que trataban como de aburrirme y de que cayera en una sumisión con lo que sucedía a mi alrededor.
