Question

One winter during college in New York, I took an 8 am history class to fulfill a requirement. It was1 to get up for that class, but every morning I would2 the cold winds and went to the lecture.
The professor for the class would step3 into the room. He was terribly nervous about the class and always fixed his eyes on his book, never4 us.
I felt that I needed to do something to5 the boredom, so I tried to find something in his lecture to ask him,6 me to pay attention rather than letting my eyes close. The first time7 I raised my hand, he was surprised but was obviously8 to have a question to answer. I continued to do this every day. The professor seemed to become a bit more9 and some other students even joined in. In fact, his answers were always10. In this way, I learned quite a lot and realized the professor was indeed a/an11 in his field.
On the last day of class we12 our books and headed out. The professor stepped directly in front of me, with obvious13, putting out his hand. He said, “14 you for making my class so interesting,” shaking my hand and smiling. I was so15. To me, it had been a pleasant way to16 the time in his lesson. I had no idea that my17 had any effect on him or the others at all.
That18 has stayed with me for 30 years. I don’t19 the fact I learned in his class, but I’11 never forget the professor who taught me a lesson about the20 of acts of kindness, indeed or not.
