When I met him, I had a lot of anger inside
of me．I never had a
father, though in my neighborhood that's not 31 ．I know some kids just like me．You have to 32 yourself．
There are fights and killings all the time．I have friends who ended up in
jail or pregnant．1
could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark and my mom 33 let
that happen.
Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I
did my work．My
grades rose．In
fact, I did so well that in sixth grade, I entered the 34 class,
and Mr．Clark was
the teacher．I felt
so 35 to have him for a second year!
He took our class to see The Phantom of the
Opera．Before the
show, he 36 us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to
talk with our mouths full．We didn't want to let him 37 , so we listened to
him attentively.
38 of us were surprised when Mr．Clark was selected as Disney's 2000 Teacher of the Year．When he learned he'd won, he
said he would 39 three names out of a hat; he would go to Los
Angeles to get the 40 with those students．But 41 it came
time to draw names, Mr．Clark said, "You're all going."
He got 42 to fly all 37 of
us out to Disneyland in California and put us up at the Hilton．People were 43 ,
but Mr．Clark really
cared about us．There's
no way I can 44 most teachers doing that．No way．But he saw something in us that
nobody else saw.
On graduation day, there were a lot of
tears．We didn't
want his class to 45 ．In my new school year, we were all happy when Mr．Clark 46 in our
class once again．He's been a 47 in our lives.
In 2003, Mr．Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to 48 school
supplies and visit orphanages．It was the most amazing 49 of my life．It's now my 50 to
one day start a group of women's clubs, helping people from all backgrounds.
