Nearly two decades has passed, I still remember my favourite professor, James Sehwartz. Whenever he smiles, it’s as if you’d just been told the funniest joke on earth. Almost all his students are his friends, and almost all his students know his life story.
When James was a teenager, his father
36 him to a fur factory where he worked . This was during the Great Depression. The
37 was to get James a job.
James entered the factory, and immediately felt as if the
38 had closed in around him. The room was dark and hot, the windows covered with dust, and the
39 were packed tightly together, running like trains. The fur hairs were flying,
40 a thickened air, and the workers, 41 the pieces of fur together, were bent over their needles
42 the boss marched up and down the rows, searching for them to go faster .James could hardly
43 . He stood next to his father, frozen with fear, hoping the boss wouldn’t
44 at him, too.
During lunch break, his father took James to the boss and pushed him in front of him,
45 if there was any work for his son. But
46 there was hardly enough
47 for the adult labours, for no one would give it up once he took a job.
Thus, for James, it was a
48 . He hated the place. He made a
49 that he kept to the end of his life: he would never do any work that brought
50 to someone else, and he would never allow himself to
51 money off the seat of others.
“What will you do?” his mother, Eva, would ask him.
“I don’t know,” he
52 say. He ruled out law, because he didn’t like
53 , and he ruled out medicine, because he couldn’t take the
54 of blood.
“What will you do?”
55 , my best professor I ever had became—he thought it was the job not to hurt anybody.
