英语新人教版必修1 unit3 Nelson Mandela--period4 reading2整理(5)

We read books under our blankets and used anything we could find to make candles to see the words. I became a good student. I wanted to study for my degree but I was not allowed to do that. Later, Mr. Mandela allowed the prison guards to join us. He said they should not be stopped from studying for their degrees. They were not cleverer than me , but they did pass their exams. So I knew I could get a degree too. That made me feel good about myself.
