“Good habits formed at youth make all the
difference.”
~ Aristotle
My daughters
recently attended their school’s Christmas Formal. These events create quite a flurry of
activity and I was heartened through it all to see kindness on display by
teenage boys. There was the young man
whose mother had been asked if he could go by another mother. He could not go, but he called the mother who
asked to thank her for thinking of him.
Another young man who could not attend because he was working on a play
at his school wanted to reciprocate by inviting the girls who asked him to the
play. One of the young men who joined my
daughters and their friends accompanied the girls back into the building when
one of them forgot her bouquet. And then there is one of my perennial
favorites: The young man with the impeccable manners who looked at everyone
getting into my car and was perplexed as to how he could open the doors for everyone.
