The Teacher Who Has Had a Deep Impact on My

From age eight to eleven, I attended a small parochial school in Bath, England. It was a small composed of four classes with about 25 children in each class according to age. For the most part, one teacher was responsible for teaching all subjects to their class. However, occasionally the Headmaster would come in and spend an hour or so, teaching some subject in which he was especially interested. The Headmaster’s name was Mr.Ronald Broackes. He was a large rotund man with a very jovial nature and a compassionate disposition. Although he was quite strict about discipline within the school, he had a keen sense of humor and would delight in telling the children small stories that would make us laugh uproariously. He was a very fair man and had a great influence on many of the children. In my own case, I found that he took a great interest in me and he quickly discovered that I enjoyed puzzles. He would often waylay me as I was going to class and produce a piece of paper from his pocket, often with a puzzle already on it. The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical. As time went on, they slowly got more difficult, but I loved them. Not only that, they kindled within me a love of mathematics and problem-solving that stays with mw to this day. They also served to show me that intellectual activity was rewarding when the correct answers were found, but perhaps more importantly it was great fun. To this day I can remember Mr.Broackes’ joyous exclamation of “Well done!” whenever I got a problem right or his own delight when he stumped me. This simple interaction with a man whom I admired greatly has had a deep impact on my life. I shall forever be grateful that our paths crossed. Mr. Broackes died just two week after the announcement that I had won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Unfortunately, I had no chance to speak with him before he died. I learnt later that he had heard of my achievement and I will always hope that he realized the deep impact he had made on my life.
