At the age of five, Andrea Peterson was saved...

At the age of five, Andrea Peterson was saved from a fire in her family’s Los Angeles home. “I thought it was a great adventure.” she says, “1 told the big firefighters that I wanted to be a fireman, too, and they laughed and said that little girls could not do that.”

Pressured by her parents to choose a good job which is fit for a girl, Peterson became a flight attendant. It wasn’t until four years ago, after her husband passed away, that she finally started volunteering at a local fire station. At more than one hundred pounds, she spent a year lifting weights and watching her diet. Later when she began training alongside men in their teens and 20S, she was ready. “At one point the department’s fitness officer asked me to pull him through the station with full gear (装备) and equipment- he weighed about 300 pounds, she says, “I did as he ordered, which perhaps surprised both of us!” Last year she graduated, becoming the only woman of the department’s staff of twenty-seven firefighters.

Peterson has now answered more than 350 emergency calls, helping so many people beat back fires in high temperatures. She says, “I’ve always known that this is the job for me. It doesn’t matter how hard I had to work or how long I had to wait.”

From age eight to eleven, I studied at a small school in Bath, England. It was a small school of four classes, with about twenty-five children in each class according to age. For the most part, one teacher had to teach all subjects. However, sometimes the headteacher , Mr. Ronald Broaches would come in and spend an hour or so.

He was a large man with a very happy nature. He had a sense of humor and would be glad in telling the children small stories which make us laugh.

I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles. He would stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket, often with a puzzle on it. As time went on, they slowly gave me an interest in math and problem –solving that stays with me to this day.

To this day, I can remember Mr. Broaches’ cheerful cry of “Well done!” whenever I got a problem right. I shall always be thankful that our  paths crossed.

Mr. Bruoaches died just two weeks after I won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. Unfortunately, I had no chance to speak to him before he died. I learnt late that he had heard of my success and I will always hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life.
