Life Lesson #57 – When You’re Wrong, Admit It.
It was a warm day during the first part of the new school year, and Jason had stayed late to HELP Mrs. Stewart unpack some books. He almost always stayed late to HELP his teacher because he lived practically across the street from the school. When he finally left the school, there were two boys waiting just outside the door. Suddenly, out of nowhere it seemed, they came from behind Jason and tripped him, just as he was coming to the front steps leading down to the sidewalk. Jason tumbled down the steps, and it’s just amazing that he didn’t break his arm or something. He did, however, get scraped up pretty badly.
The two boys started laughing, that is until they turned around and found themselves face to face with Mr. Evans, the principal.
Well, the two boys’ parents were called, and the boys were suspended from school. Then Jason’s dad called the other two dads, and sufficiently impressed on them and their sons the whole “HEROES are HELPFUL, not hurtful” thing, and you know what? One of the boys actually listened. He apologized to Jason and eventually became his friend. He even started following Jason’s example of HELPING others instead of hurting them. He started becoming a HERO instead.
