  29. It's amazing for a young child to be given a dream from a dentist at an appointment and achieve that career one day. At the age of approximately eleven years old, George Jenkins was taken to the University of Medicine and Dentistry by his mother in order to get braces because he had crooked teeth and his smile was desired to be improved. In the dentist appointment, George was interested in the tools that were on the tray so he asked the dentist what they were and how were they used. The dentist was impressed so he also explained the number and names of teeth and how to calculate and classify teeth. Later on, George was tested by the dentist to see if he remembered what he was taught. George was very thrilled and began to think about being a dentist in the future. The dentist sounds like a very friendly person to talk to. The dentist's influence on George gave him a gift not all children can easily get.

  49. Positive peer pressure is when your friends or peers pressure you into doing something that is good. Most of the time when people talk about peer pressure, they are talking about the negative affects of peer pressure. An example of positive peer pressure from the book is when George pressures Rameck and Sam to join the pre-medical/pre-dental program. In my life I do have some positive peer pressure. Most of my friends get good grades. Therefore it pushes me harder to get good grades also. Anything less would be embarrassing or not good enough.

  76. The dentist that George had visited in order to receive his braces was probably the most influential individual that he had ever met. By teaching George about his tools, and the names and number of teeth (as well as quizzing him on it), he left an 11 year old, single paren child with a dream that gave him the drive to succeed in life. George knew that other dreams had been crushed by his the harsh life of Newark, yet George yearned and strived in order to be a dentist. This man, whose name had unfortunately forotten, was an enormous contribution to George's life.
