Roger Rawls is the first black governor in the history of New York State. He was born in the infamous Shasha slum in New York. The environment is dirty and full of violence, and it is a gathering place for stowaways and homeless people. The children born here are stunned. They have been escaping from school, fighting, stealing and even taking drugs. When they grow up, few people are engaged in decent occupations. However, Roger Rawls is an exception. He not only entered the university, but also became governor.
At the press conference, a reporter asked him: "What pushed you to the throne of the governor?" Faced with more than 300 journalists, Rawls did not mention his own history of struggle, only talked about him. Principal of the last hour of the country - Pierre Paul. ?
In 1961, Pierre Paul was hired as a director and principal of Nobita. At that time, it was the era of American hippies. When he walked into the small country of Nostra, he found that the poor children here were doing nothing more than the "confusing generation." They don't work with teachers, skip classes, fight, and even smash the blackboard in the classroom. Pierre Paul thought a lot of ways to guide them, but it didn't work. Later, he found that these children were superstitious, so he added one more content when he was in class—showing the palmistry to the students. He used this method to encourage students. ?
One day, when Rawls jumped into the classroom from the window sill and stretched his hand to the podium, the principal, Pierre Paul, caught him. Unexpectedly, the principal did not criticize him. Instead, he said, "I will know that you will be the governor of New York State in the future when you look at your slender little finger."

At the time, Rawls was shocked. Because he was so big, only his grandmother cheered him up once and said that he could become the captain of a 5-ton boat. This time, Mr. Pierre Paul said that he could become the governor of New York State, which was beyond his expectations. He wrote down this sentence and believed it. From that day on, the "New York Governor" was like a flag flying high in his heart. Rawls’s clothes are no longer stained with dirt, and the words are no longer mixed with swear words, and the actions are no longer dragged and aimless. He began to walk straight and he did not have to ask himself for the governor's standards for the next forty years. At the age of 51, he finally became the governor of New York. ?
In his inaugural speech, Rawls said: "How much is the value of belief? Faith is not worthwhile, it is sometimes even a good deception, but once you stick to it, it will add value quickly."
