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.
