Translation

I graduated from the elementary school when I was about 16 or 17. I began my apprenticeship at that time. In the beginning, I had to learn from the master and be responsible for cleaning. After 3 years, I finally started to learn how to make leather shoes. After another 3 years, I finally learned most of the things that I needed to know. At that time, I was about 22 years old.
