Two years ago my wife   43  me to return to school and work toward a career where I would find satisfaction. So I entered Long Beach City College to pursue a   44  in history. Last term I took a political science class. The   45  Dr. Rock had such a great effect on me. He   46  in the Air Force, worked in the U.S. nuclear program and served in the White House. When I asked another instructor   47  someone who was so overqualified worked at a small community college, she   48  told me because he wanted to.

This   49  me, so I asked Dr. Rock himself why he did not pursue a better role in his career. What he told me has changed my   50  forever. He told me that by working at the college he  would be able to   51  the kinds of students he believed would make a   52  in the world. He said that   53  the right motivation and support, the students he taught could become the future leaders of our country. He said that he preferred the inner city   54  because the students there showed the   55  promise and cared deeply for their education.

Dr. Rock paid attention to the needs of the community. He taught me how to care and   56  us to take part in our community in any way we   57  .
