As news of her leaving spread, Ora Bayewitz, one of Pollak's __7__ students, reached other ones and __8__ them to write in. They did __9__. It was surprising that in the end Pollak got 75 __10__， many being pages long.
“There are a handful of people that __11__ who I am and you are one of them，〞 writes Chris Ryan, one of her students in the 1980s. “It's not a(n) __12__ to say that you changed my life.〞 Others __13__ a trying moment, or an academic __14__ in middle school. Pollak scans through them. “It's __15__，〞 she whispers.
When Pollak first read this book, she noticed something: The __16__ from Pollak's first year of teaching, and the ones from 40 years later, are very __17__. It seemed that where she was teaching didn't __18__， because she saw the same theme __19__.
