28 AUGUST 2006 MONDAY RAINY?
GLAD.
A interesting story.
One day, when I was a freshman in high school,
I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.
His name was Kyle.
It looked like he was carrying all of his books.
I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a
Friday?
He must really be a nerd."
I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football gamewith my
friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.
As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him.
They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping
him so he landed in the dirt.
His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten
feet from him.
He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes
My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he
crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his
eye.
As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks.
They really should get lives."
He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!"
There was a big smile on his face.
It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived.
As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had
never seen him before.
He said he had gone to private school before now.
I would have never hung out with a private school kid before.
We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books.
He turned out to be a pretty cool
kid.
I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my
friends
He said yes.
We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the
more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of
him.
Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of
books again.
I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some
serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!"
He just laughed and handed me half the>books.
Over the next four years, ! Kyle and I became best friends.
When we were seniors, we began to think
about college.
Kyle decided on Georgetown, and
Iwas going to Duke.
I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would
never be a problem.
He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a
football scholarship.
Kyle was valedictorian of our class.
I teased him all the time about being a nerd.
He had to prepare a speech for graduation.
I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and
speak
Graduation day, I saw Kyle.
He looked great.
He was one of those guys that really found himself during high
school.
He filled out and actually
looked good in glasses.
He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him.
Boy, sometimes I was jealous.
Today was one of those
days.
I could see that he was nervous about his speech.
So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll
be great!"
He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful
one) and smiled."! Thanks," he said.
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began
"Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it
through those tough years.
Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a
coach...but mostly your friends...
I am here to tell all of you that being a
friend to someone is the best gift you can give them.
I am going to tell you a story."
I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the
story of the first day we met.
He had planned to kill himself over the
weekend.
He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom
wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home.
He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile.
"Thankfully, I was saved.
My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."
I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome,
popular boy told us all about his weakest moment
I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same>
Grateful smile.
Not until that moment did I realize it's depth.
its a nice story that i requested KAY to send me.
but it isnt the point of the story.
this is.
''Never underestimate the power of your actions.For one small gesture you can change a person's life.For better or for worse.''i totally agree to what the sentence is trying to say.
dont ever underestimate the power of your actions.
For by doing a small gesture it does alot.
