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.
