When I was twelve years old, my family were the first black people to move into an all­white part of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Many of our new  1  weren’t very welcoming. Some of the adults said   2  that we should return where we came from. The   3   sometimes threw stones at me or   4   me home from school.

Most of my teachers   5   ignored me, but not Dorothy Bean, my history teacher. Miss Bean was angry at how badly I was being  6   ,but she didn’t say this to me. Miss Bean showed her   7   for me by teaching me just like anyone else.  8   being unnoticed, I was given a  9    to show that I was smart. Miss Bean was the first teacher who ever made me  10  for myself. She insisted on knowing what I thought about difficult   11  . Was ThomasJefferson right to buy Louisiana from France? Why? She  12    me to have an opinion and to be able to  13    it up. Miss Bean was teaching me that thinking for oneself was the real   14   to success in learning.

One day, when I was not  15    in class, Miss Bean suddenly threw an eraser at me. Unbelievably, the eraser hit me right on the hand and   16   my pencil flying. The whole class was   17   at first, then started laughing. This incident became famous in the school and,  18    it happened to me, the students wanted to get to  19    me. So that’s the story of how Dorothy Bean made me her target, and how I became just another   20   in school.
