"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are."
-- e.e. cummings
Teenagers are notoriously self-absorbed, but one of my children has a friend who gives teenagers a good name with her kindness. She actually thinks of others and anticipates others' needs. One day as I supervised a group of them at the pool, I was going to sit down, but noticed that the chair was wet. Before I could grab a towel, she said, "You can sit on my towel." If she sees me cleaning up or carrying things, she will ask me if I need help. This teenager has many terrific qualities and her kindness is one that truly stands out.
