A
When I first met Mrs Caffiere, she was an elegant (优雅的) school librarian at Seattle's View Ridge Elementary, and I was a shy fourth grader. I was trying to go unnoticed, because I had some big disadvantages and a messy desk. And I was trying to hide the fact that I liked to read — something that was cool for girls but not for boys.
Mrs Caffiere helped make it okay for me to be a messy boy who was reading lots of books.
She pulled me out of my shell by sharing her love of books. She started by asking questions like “What do you like to read？” and “What are you interested in？” Then she found me a lot of books. For example, she gave me great biographies (传记) she had read. Once I'd read them, she would take the time to discuss them with me. “Did you like it？” she would ask. “Why? What did you learn？” She listened to what I had to say. Through those book conversations in the library and in the classroom we became good friends.
Looking back on it now, there's no question that my time with Mrs Caffiere helped excite my interest in libraries and my focus on helping every child in America get the benefit (好处) of great teachers.
I should also thank the teacher who helped me find my strengths when I was nine years old. It's surprising how much power one good person can have in shaping the life of a child.
