This   44  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   45  forever. He told me that by working at the college he  would be able to   46  the kinds of students he believed would make a   47  in the world.

“I can’t, what would people think of me, taking advantage of you and your circumstance?” replied the sighted golfer.

“Chicken, Mr. Hogan?”
