I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would be better off going to school here, so I enrolled(登記)in the local high school in my new town. I was afraid how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered. Yes. His voice forted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn39。t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn39。t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In Indian schools, we didn39。t use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke. It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, It39。s still fourth period. But the bell just rang, I said. Changing from a gentle tone to a harsher(刺耳的)one, she said, That is the lunch bell, young man. I apologized. Without another word I headed for the cafeteria. I felt lucky because we didn39。t have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn39。t have in India either. I spotted my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn39。t so bad.(1)The author attended an American high school because _______.

That meeting turned out to be my exit interview. I was 64 years old at the time. It wasn39。t pletely unexpected. I signed a pile of papers and left the pany. So, 40 plus years of employment was over. I had a good reputation and background. Retirement was not a choice for me. I wanted to do something. And then an idea came into my mind, born from my concern for our environment. I wanted to build my own business, designing and producing biodegradable(可生物降解的)packaging from waste. This is called clean technology, and it was really meaningful to me. It could help reduce billions of pounds of singleuse plastic packaging wasted each year. Five years later, I39。m delighted and proud to share with you that our ine has doubled every year and we have no debt. Meanwhile, I have a wonderful partner, and we39。ve won more than 20 awards for the work that we39。ve done. And I am doing the most rewarding and meaningful work of my life right now. But what I really long for is to find other firsttime entrepreneurs(企業(yè)家)who are my age. I want to connect with them. So I want to do something about that in a few years. I want us to start talking more about people who don39。t bee entrepreneurs until they are seniors. And then connecting all of them across industries, regions and countries—building a munity.(1)What happened to the author nine years ago?
