“Now”, Mrs. White said, smiling, “Let’s discover our professions(职业).” The class seemed greatly surprised. Our professions? We were only 13 and 14 years old. The teacher must be______. “Yes, you will be searching for your future professions. Each of you will have to______ someone in your field, including an oral report.”
Each day in her class, Mrs. White reminded us about this. Finally, I ______print journalism. This meant I had to go to interview a newspaper reporter. I was quite nervous. I sat down in front of him hardly able to ______. He looked at me and said, “Did you bring a pencil or pen?” I shook my head. “How about some_______?”I shook my head again.
Finally, I thought he realized I felt______, and I got my first big tip as a journalist. “Never, never go anywhere without a pen and paper. You never know what you'll run into.” After a few days, I gave my oral report from memory in class. I got an A on the entire project.
Years later, I was in college looking around for a new job with no success. Then I ______ Mrs. White. And I called my parents. They didn't______me. They just reminded me how competitive(竞争的) the field was and how I had run away from competition. This was true. But journalism did something to me; it was in my blood. And it gave me the freedom to go up to total strangers and ask what was going on.
I get asked all the ______:“How did you pick journalism?”
“Well, you see, there was this teacher…”I started out. I just hope I can have the chance to______her. She was a teacher who really changed my life.
