Until I took Dr. Offutt’s class, I was an underachieving student, but I left that class 31. determined never to underachieve again. He not only taught me to think, he convinced me, 32. as much by example as words, that it was my moral 33. obligation to do so and to serve others.
34. Neither of us could know how our relationship would over the years. When I first came back to DeMatha to teach English, I worked for Dr. Offutt, the department chair. My discussions with him as he mentored me were like graduate seminars in adolescent 36. development, classroom management and school leadership.
After several years, I was 37. named department chair, and our relationship 38. shifted again. I thought that it might be 39. awkward chairing the department, since all of my 40. former English teachers were 41. still there, but Dr. Offutt supported me 42. throughout. He knew when to give me advice 43. about curriculum, texts and personnel, and when to let me 44. chart my own course.
In 1997, I needed his 45. advice about leaving DeMatha to become principal at another school. 46. If he had asked me to stay at DeMatha, I might have. 47. Instead, he encouraged me to seize the new opportunity.
Five years ago, I became the principal of DeMatha. 48. Once again, Dr. Offutt was there for me, letting me know that I could 49. count on him as I tried to fill such big shoes. I’ve learned from him that great teachers have an inexhaustible 50. wealth of lessons to teach. Even if his students don’t know it yet, I know how fortunate they are; I’m still one of them.

在上奧法得教授的班級以前，我一直是個學習成績不怎么樣的學生，但是，當我離開那個班級時，我決定再也不做一個差生了。他不僅教會我們思考，他通過事例和言語使我堅信，我有責任這樣做并為他人服務(wù)。
我們兩人誰也記不起這些年來我們之間的友誼的發(fā)展過程了。當我第一次回到DeMatha高中教英語時，我是跟著奧法得教授工作的，當時他是系主任。在和他的討論時，在青少年畢業(yè)研討會上，在討論教室管理和學校領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力等問題時，他是我良師益友。
幾年以后，我被提名為系主任，我們的友誼進行了一次換位。因為我以前的英語老師還都在那里，我想這個領(lǐng)導(dǎo)可能會很難當。但是，奧法得教授從始至終一直支持我。他總是在適當?shù)臅r候給我關(guān)于課程、課文和人員問題的建議，并總是適時讓我自己制定自己的規(guī)劃。
1997年，關(guān)于是否離開DeMatha高中去任另一所學校的校長的事我需要他的建議。如果他要我留在DeMatha高中，我就不走了。然而，他卻鼓勵我抓住這個新的機會。
5 年前，我再次回到DeMatha高中并擔任校長。這一次，奧法得教授還在這里等我，他讓我知道我可以信賴他，我可以做得和以前的校長一樣出色。他讓我感 到，一個好的老師有無窮無盡的知識財富讓我們?nèi)W習。盡管他的學生們可能還沒有意識到這點，我知道他們是非常幸運的；我現(xiàn)在仍然是受益者之一。
