It's hard for me to believe that it's been 50 years since I had the experience of being a ninth grade kid in Birmingham, Alabama, a kid who loved getting A's, a kid who loved math, who loved to read, a kid who would say to the teacher -- when the teacher said, "Here are 10 problems," to the class, this little fat kid would say, "Give us 10 more."
Det er svært for mig at tro på, at der er gået 50 år siden jeg havde oplevelsen af at være et  niendeklasses barn i Birmingham, Alabama, et barn der elskede at få topkarakterer, et barn der elskede matematik, der elskede at læse, et barn de sagde til læreren -- når læreren sagde, "Her er 10 problemer,"  til klassen, sagde dette lille fede barn, "Giv os 10 mere."
