1972
I was five years old. In the park, down on the street, I was swinging. I asked my uncle, 'What is that castle up there?' He said to me, 'It's a place where great men go.' I said, 'Do you think I'll be able to go when I'm grown up?' He said, 'Of course, you'll be able to go.' The impression was that the professors were able to help me because we moved to Brooklyn and I graduated from a school down there. When I went to college, they had a lot of inspiration. Most of them helped me and I decided to continue with that. When I decided to become a teacher, I had wonderful people that really helped me. It was very a good experience. I always told people that I went to a great school.
