　　Richard Rice, a fast-talking man paced up and down in front of freshmen debate class,

　　16

　　us about his high expectations. We were special, he declared on our first day at Oak Park High School. But there would be no

　　17

　　to success. Only those who worked hard would shine.

　　Suddenly Mr. Rice

　　18

　　in mid-sentence and stared at me. “You know,” he said, “You’re black!” Somehow, I knew he

　　19

　　trying to hurt me.

　　Mr. Rice was no

　　20

　　teacher. I entered high school not

　　21

　　quite sure what debate was. I left his class four years later as an outstanding debater. Even today, I’m not sure what

　　22

　　such a great teacher of him. He always said

　　23

　　he was thinking. And he was

　　24

　　. He’d

　　25

　　out of the classroom angrily if he thought a student was giving

　　26

　　his effort. The worst thing with us was to be taken no notice of.

　　27

　　, being torn apart by Mr. Rice in the middle of a practice debate meant you were one of his favourites. He wasn’t always

　　28

　　on us. I’ll never forget the Nations Student Debate, at which my calm delivery and my firm grasp of the problems disappeared. The only face I could

　　29

　　in the audience was Mr. Rice’s face. I could

　　30

　　I was doing terribly just by looking at him. After it was over, he came

　　31

　　to me. “Not my best

　　32

　　,” I said. He shook his head, “No,” Then, to my

　　33

　　, he gave me a hug.

　　Mr. Rice’s style didn’t make him a great teacher for everyone. Many kids

　　34

　　out of the debate class after the first year. But for me four years with him was my unforgettable

　　35

　　of a lifetime.
