When Ron Clark began teaching in 1995, his teacher gave him this advice, “If you can 1 the life of one child, you’ll be a success.” Up to now, Ron still doesn’t agree with that advice. When Ron entered a class, he decided to change every student’s life for the better.
Ron never planned on being a teacher. After 2 , he travelled around the world, living a life 3 of adventures(冒险), but after getting terribly sick, he went back to his hometown, North Carolina. Then he got 4 again and taught at a school there. “From then on it was like magic — I fell in love with teaching.” said Ron. After five years of teaching, he heard that some schools in East Harlem, New York were failing because there were 6 good teachers. “At that moment I had a(n) 6— it was like a calling,” he said. “And so I said, ‘I’m going to do it.”
Before school started, Ron went to every single student’s home to 7 with their families. He gave his students his home phone number, so if they had any 8 with their homework, they could call him. To connect with his students, Ron knew he should use special 9 of teaching. He learned to play funny games with them, gave them 10 lessons, and spent his time showing students 11 New York’s tourist attractions. His students studied harder and behaved better in 12 .
Because of his 13 in North Carolina and Harlem, Ron Clark has become one of the most successful teachers in America. And his book called The Essential 55, more than 14 else, has become very popular in the world.
Sold in over 25 15 , The Essential 55 has encouraged teachers around the world to influence the lives of all of their students. Ron Clark is now starting a new school in Atlanta, Georgia — probably his biggest adventure!
