A
A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a
profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I
accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr.
Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us
confused. “Wait a minute,” someone might say,“are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man,
or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”
The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period
I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my fulllength mirror, repeating the
words,“Hello, class.
I'm Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice.
Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in
and the true Mr. Davis was there.
I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a
12yearold boy.
I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut
them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets
