  Most people have sometimes though:"I should like to fly like a bird." Many people have tried!We do not know about all the people who have tried to fly but we know about some of them.

  In about 1020, for example, an Englishman, Oliver, tried to fly with wings like a bird's.He covered more than two hundred meters before he fell to the ground and broke both his arms and legs.But Oliver seemed quite pleased.He said he had made one little mistake.He had forgotten to wear a tail like a bird's.After that he never tried again.

  In 1507,an Italian, named John Damain, tried to fly in Scotland.He wore a pair of wings made from hens' feathers, and jumped from the walls.He fell like a stone to the ground below and broke a leg.

  Damain was very disappointed.He said, "I made a mistake.I used hens' feathers and hens do not often fly.I ought to have used the feathers of a bird that flies.Then I am sure I would have flown." But when he was well again, Damain, like Oliver, never tried once again.

  An Italian scientist, John Borelli, spent much time thinking about flying.Finally, in 1680, he wrote a book having a great many calculations.They proved that men would never be able to fly with wings strapped to their arms.Borelli worked out that a man's arms were not strong enough to support him in the air.

  We know now that he was right but some people took no notice of what Borelli said.In 1742, a Frenchman, although he was an old man, tried to fly across the River Seine, in Paris, with wings strapped to his arms.He jumped from a house beside the river and fell down on to a boat below.He was fortunate and only broke a leg.

  Today men can do much better, though they still cannot fly like birds.They use very light, strong wings called "hang-gliders".One man landed safely after jumping from a balloon at 32,700 feet!Another stayed in the air for 19 hours 36 minutes!They still sometimes hurt themselves.

  I’ve lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem with my mom, and I never have a father.I have friends who ended up in jail or pregnancy.But Mr.Clark wouldn’t let that happen.Mr.Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work.My grades rose.In fact, our whole fifth-grade class’s scores rose in math and reading.In sixth grade, I entered the gifted program, and Mr.Clark was the teacher.I felt so lucky to have him for a second year!

  None of us were surprised when Mr.Clark was selected as Disney’s 2004 Teacher of the Year.When he learned he’d won, he said he would draw three names out of a hat; those students would go with him to Los Angeles to get the award.But when it came time to draw names, Mr.Clark said,“You’re all going.”

  He got donations to fly all 37 of us out to Disneyland in California and put us at the Hilton.We were there for three days.People were amazed, but Mr.Clark really cared about us.There’s no way I can imagine 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 end.In 2005, he moved to Atlanta, but we always kept in touch.He started giving speeches about education and wrote a best-selling book based on his classroom rules.

  In 2007, Mr.Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit orphanages.It was the most amazing experience of my life.It’s now my dream to start a group of women’s clubs one day, helping people from all backgrounds.

  I’m about to become a senior at Harlem Renaissance High School.My grades are beautiful now, and I’m hoping to go to law school eventually.This fall, Mr.Clark will be opening the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, a school for kids who have potential but aren’t reaching it, kids who are like I was-until Mr.Clark came along.
