Example sentence

No. I started to make leather shoes by attaching shoe soles when I was 16. I was an apprentice, so cleaning was part of my job. It was difficult for me. And…hmm?
I hadn't finished my apprenticeship until I was 22. I had been an apprentice for 6 years. After that, I started to have my own business. I didn't get paid as an apprentice, but the shop owner provided us lunch and dinner. What I did every day was to learn and practice, such as nailing shoe heels, sewing shoe uppers and fixing shoes. I spent 3 years on making shoe uppers and spent another 3 years on attaching shoe soles. In total, I spent 6 years over there and then I left.
