14、二加二课程，我心想，我能行。” 该课程是专为那些离开学校已有一段日子的人而开设的。完成课程后，埃莎将被授予幼儿教化学学士学位。 埃莎的一位好挚友阿伊莎，也是一位育有九个孩子的母亲，她情愿帮助埃莎带孩子，于是埃莎的幻想之路起先变得明确起来。但命运之神又给她出了一道难题。 “我申请该课程时，还只有八个孩子。在我得知自己怀上了第九个孩子的非常钟内，我接到一个电话，来电者告知我说，华威高校录用我了。他们问我是否希望推迟入学，但我想，假如我现在不去做的话，怕是恒久都回不去了。” 埃莎在第一学年末产下了她的第九个孩子，分娩后立刻就要参与期末考试。“我把高校课本带到医院去复习等着分娩的时间很无聊！” 然而，
