Danh ngôn của Monte Irvin

I was all-state in four sports in New Jersey, but sometimes I couldn't get served at a restaurant two blocks from my high school. There were no job opportunities then... the only thing a black youth could aspire to be was a bellboy or a pullman or an elevator operator, or, maybe, a teacher. There was a time when all we had was black baseball.

Tôi là người giỏi nhất trong bốn môn thể thao ở New Jersey, nhưng đôi khi tôi không thể được phục vụ tại một nhà hàng cách trường trung học của tôi hai dãy nhà. Khi đó không có cơ hội việc làm... điều duy nhất mà một thanh niên da đen có thể khao khát trở thành nhân viên phục vụ, nhân viên kéo xe hoặc nhân viên điều hành thang máy, hoặc có thể là giáo viên. Đã có lúc tất cả những gì chúng tôi có chỉ là bóng chày đen.

Các câu danh ngôn khác của cùng tác giả: Monte Irvin

• I'm a forgiver. I might not forget, but I forgive. My mother, father and older brother always told me: 'Don't hold grudges. If you do that, you don't lower yourself down to your adversary. Just treat people the way you want to be treated.' I honestly think that's why I was able to survive and have some success.

Các câu danh ngôn khác của cùng chuyên mục: Teacher

• My father, I think he played percussion in high school. My mother played piano when she was very young, but only for a brief while. I don't think she had a great teacher. In any case, neither of them were really into music at a young age.
• In high school, my English teacher Celeste McMenamin introduced me to the great novels and Shakespeare and taught me how to write. Essays, poetry, critical analysis. Writing is a skill that was painful then but a love of mine now.
• Christine Bass was my high school music teacher. She took a program on its last legs and within a few years turned into one of the best programs in the country. Our high school dominated national choir competitions all through her 20-plus year tenure.
• My dad is a chemical engineer, and my mom was a teacher. They were pretty serious about education, but I always thought about things a little bit differently.
• Doo-wop is the true music to me, man. Doo-wop was what nurtured me and grew me into who I am, and I guess even when I was in school, the teacher probably thought I had ADD or something every day, because I'd be beating on the desks, singing like the Flamingos or the Spaniels or Clyde McPhatter or somebody.
