One winter during college in New York, I took an 8 am history class to fulfill a requirement. It was
36 to get up for that class, but every morning I would
37 the cold winds and went to the lecture.
The professor for the class would step
38 into the room. He was terribly nervous about the class and always fixed his eyes on his book, never
39 us.
I felt that I needed to do something to
40 the boredom, so I tried to find something in his lecture to ask him,
41 me to pay attention rather than letting my eyes close. The first time
42 I raised my hand, he was surprised but was obviously
43 to have a question to answer. I continued to do this every day. The professor seemed to become a bit more
44 and some other students even joined in. In fact, his answers were always
45. In this way, I learned quite a lot and realized the professor was indeed a/an
46 in his field.
On the last day of class we
47 our books and headed out. The professor stepped directly in front of me, with obvious
48, putting out his hand. He said, “
49 you for making my class so interesting,” shaking my hand and smiling. I was so
50. To me, it had been a pleasant way to
51 the time in his lesson. I had no idea that my
52 had any effect on him or the others at all.
That
53 has stayed with me for 30 years. I don’t
54 the fact I learned in his class, but I’ll never forget the professor who taught me a lesson about the
55 of acts of kindness, indeed or not.
