When I was young, my parents ran a snack bar in our small town.

I would end up owing it.
"You can do it," said my mother, " 4 , you won"t get much business until lunch."
"But I"ll never remember the orders, and I"m no good 5 money. Please, Mom, don"t 6 me.
"Then I"ll help you," she said.
I shrugged my shoulders. I thought my mother"s 7 was a bad one, but I 8 .
When I got to the bar the next day, I found my mother was 9 . Because the weather that day was rainy
and cold, people wanted hot snacks and drinks. 10 , I was really slow at taking the orders and making change.
The line of people grew, and everybody seemed 11 , I was so nervous that my hands shook, and I 12 a cup
into pieces. What a mess! Then my mother came to 13 me, and she also showed me how to make 14 . If
someone gave me $ 5 for something that cost $ 3.25, I handed over 15 quarters and a dollar and said, "75
cents makes four dollars, plus one dollar makes five." Things went more 16 after that.
By the end of the day, I could remember orders, 17 the bill, and make change quickly with a smile. I was
even a little 18 when the sun came out and dried up business. My mother said she was proud of me, and when
she 19 that I work at the snack bar again next year, I did not even shrug. I was too busy 20 the restaurant

my neighborhood, there are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have
friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark wouldn"t let that happen.
Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our
whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time
some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught
us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.

of a hat; those students would go with him to Los Angeles to get the award. But when the time came to draw
names, Mr. Clark said,"You"re all going."
On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn"t want his class to end. In 2001, he moved to Atlanta,
but he always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education, and wrote a bestselling book based
on his classroom rules, The Essential 55.
In 2003, Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit
orphanages(孤儿院). It was the most amazing experience of my life. It"s now my dream to one day start a

It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of this
with boys of my own size or less.
One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was, so I
thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would
not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength
masking its way by face strokes (猛力地划) to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me
violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found
myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys. "Do you know what you have done?" they said, "It"s
Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym, he has got his football honor."
I was frightened and felt ashamed. How could I tell his position when be was wrapped in a bath towel
and so small. "He didn"t seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word," My father, who is a great
man, is also small." At this be laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had
