Question

“Now ,”Mrs. Virginia DeView said, smiling, “we are going to discover our professions .”

The class seems to be greatly surprised. Our professions? We were only 13 and 14 years old! The teacher must be _36 _. “Yes, you will all be searching for your future  37 . Each of you will have to   38  someone in your field, plus give an oral report.”

Each day in her class, Virginia DeView reminded us about this. Finally, I picked print journalism. This _39_ I had to go to interview a true-blue newspaper reporter. I was extremely nervous. I sat down in front of him_40_ able to speak. He looked at me and said, “Did you bring a pencil or pen?”

They just reminded me how competitive the field was and   47  all my life I had to run away from competition. This was true. But journalism did something to me; it was in my blood. _48__gave me the freedom to go up to total strangers and ask what was   49 .

For the past 12 years, I’ve had the most satisfying reporting career, __50 __ stories from murders to airplane crashes and   51  choosing my strongest area.  52 _ I went to pick up my phone one day, an incredible wave of memories hit me and I realized that had it not been __53__Virginia DeView, I would not be sitting at that desk.

I get  54  all the time: “How did you pick journalism?”

“Well, you see, there was a teacher…”I just wish I could  55 her.
