When a person is dying, they say he is living on a borrowed time.Time is money. Time is knowledge. Time is everything in America. A working American has to work hard for more money. Even on Saturday and Sunday he also works hard as usual. In the street you can hardly see a man walking slowly. They walk very fast.

This young white guy talked with a funny Southern accent.It was 1999 and I was in the fifth grade. I'd spent most of the year in the headmaster's office. I'd always been a troublemaker. I'd get shouted at, and then the teachers would give up on me. I thought that's what would happen with Ron Clark.I was wrong. That first week, I kept laughing at him. He pulled me out to the hallway and said I'd better be good. “Tamara,” he said, “you're a clever kid. You can do better.”He told me I was a natural student boss and that I'd go far in life if I started to be myself. I was mad at first, but then something happened: I began to respect him. And it didn't take long for me to come to know that Ron Clark was no ordinary teacher.He had the most unusual way of teaching. To help us learn the states and capitals, he changed the words of a popular rap hit called “Thong Song” and had us sing and dance with him. When we read the Harry Porter books, he decorated our classroom like Hogwarts.Like most teachers, he had lots of rules: Treat each other like family. But the real difference was how involved （参与）he was. Mr. Clark asked us what was going on in our lives. During break, he came outside with us, and we taught him how to jump rope. When it snowed, he pelted （投掷）us snowballs, and we pelted him back.When I met him, I had a lot of anger inside of me. I've lived my whole life in my town with my mom, grandmother and little sister. I never had a father, but in my neighborhood that's not unusual. You have to watch yourself. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up.I have friends who ended up in jail or pregnant （怀孕）. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark was the teacher. I felt so lucky to have him for a second year!On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn't want his class to end.
