My name is Scott and I am 36 years old. I have spent most of my adult life doing an
41 job, so I had a very cynical (愤世嫉俗的) view of life and the world around me. I saw no point in trying to
42 my life or the lives of the people around me.
Two years ago my wife
43 me to return to school and work toward a career where I would find satisfaction. So I entered Long Beach City College to pursue a
44 in history. Last term I took a political science class. The 45 Dr. Rock had such a great effect on me. He
46 in the Air Force, worked in the U.S. nuclear program and served in the White House. When I asked another instructor 47 someone who was so overqualified worked at a small community college, she
48 told me because he wanted to.
This
49 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
50 forever. He told me that by working at the college he would be able to
51 the kinds of students he believed would make a
52 in the world. He said that 53 the right motivation and support, the students he taught could become the future leaders of our country. He said that he preferred the inner city
54 because the students there showed the
55 promise and cared deeply for their education.
Dr. Rock paid attention to the needs of the community. He taught me how to care and
56 us to take part in our community in any way we
57 .
I thought that I was the
58 one that was affected by his lessons, but at the end of the term I found that the entire class had felt the same
59 that came over me. Dr. Rock taught us how to
60 our country, our community and ourselves.
