    I'm John Wood, a doctor at a famous Boston hospital. During the first two years of high school, I found biology very  . My report cards always said things like “must study harder” or “John shouldn't choose science  .” It was really terrible for  who had always dreamed of becoming a doctor. I lost confidence, so I left high school at sixteen and  working at a supermarket.

    One evening I saw a documentary about Albert Einstein. According to the documentary, Einstein had done really  at school. I began to think that if Einstein could  , then I may have a chance, too. I didn't want to leave my job,  I decided to go to night school to finish high school. Two years later, I went to a  university.

    I've often thought I should contact the  from the Einstein documentary and  him. As for the biology teacher, I might contact her, too, one day—but not to thank her!
