The Tour de France is the most famous cycling race in the world. It first started on July 1, 1903. Sixty cyclists left Paris and rode 467 kilometers to Lyon, another big city in France. There were six stages in that race. Each was about 400 kilometers long. At that time there were no rest days. The winner who used the shortest total time was Maurice Garin. He received 2,000 francs (法郎). It took him 94 hours and 33 minutes to ride all 2,428 kilometers of the race, three hours faster than the other riders.

Now the Tour de France is held in July every year. There are 21-day stages now. Riders have one or two days to rest. And the race covers different distances each time, from 2,000 miles to 3,500 miles. There are three special honors (荣誉) for the race. The highest is the “yellow jersey (运动衫) ”. Henri Desgranges had the idea for the yellow jersey in 1919. The racer with the lowest total time in the past stages wears the yellow jersey during the following day’s race. Other honors are the “green jersey,” for the best sprinter (冲刺者), and “the white jersey”, for the best rider in the mountains.

When I met him, I had a lot of anger inside of me. I’ve lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem, but in my neighborhood, there are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark wouldn’t let that happen.

Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.

Mr. Clark was selected as Disney’s 2000 Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out of a hat, those students would go with him to Los Angles to get the award. But when the time came to draw names, Mr. Clark said, “You’re all going.”

On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn’t want his class to end. In 2001, he moved to Atlanta, but he always kept in touch.

In 2003, Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to send school supplies and visit orphanages (孤儿院). It was the most amazing experience of my life.
