My name is Scott and I am 36 years old. I have spent most of my adult life doing an 36 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 37 my life or the lives of the people around me.
Two years ago my wife 38 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 39 in history. Last term I took a political science class. The 40 Dr. Rock had such a great effect on me. He 41 in the Air Force, worked in the U.S. nuclear program and served in the White House. When I asked another instructor 42 someone who was so overqualified(资历过高的)worked at a small community college, she 43 told me because he wanted to.
This 44 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 45 forever. He told me that by working at the college he would be able to 46 the kinds of students he believed would make a 47 in the world. He said that 48 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 49 because the students there showed the 50 promise and cared deeply for their education.
Dr. Rock paid attention to the needs of the community. He taught me how to care and 51 us to take part in our community in any way we 52 .
I thought that I was the 53 one that was affected by his lessons, but at the end of the term I found that the entire class had felt the same 54 that came over me. Dr. Rock taught us how to 55 our country, our community and ourselves.
