>>>>>>>>>>>> >>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
>>>>>>>>>>>>game with 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 as! ked 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 I
>>>>>>>>>>>> >>was 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.
>>>>>>>>>>>> >>
>>>>>>>>>>>> >>Never underestimate the power of your actions.
>>>>>>>>>>>> >>
>>>>>>>>>>>> >>With one small gesture you can change a person's life.
>>>>>>>>>>>> >>
>>>>>>>>>>>> >>For better or for worse.
>>>>>>>>>>>> >>
>>>>>>>>>>>> >>God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one
