Imagine you are driving by a grade school and you see over 200 kids standing in a line on the playground to get someone's autograph. Who is it? Justin Bieber? Taylor Swift? Hmm, maybe Katy Perry? Oh I know, that guy from the Zoo Keeper movie, you know the one, Kevin James?
Nope. Nada, one. It was the custodian! Yep, the custodian at the school. The students call him Mr. Steve and they all love him because he is always talking to the kids, smiling at them, and helping them out when they are in a jam. And, according to Mr. Steve, all of the children respect him. Hmm, there's a lesson all of us adults could learn. And from grade school kids, nonetheless!
Last week, Mr. Steve, a father of four, said he signed all 104 of the second graders' yearbooks after lunch -- in addition to 200 more from other classes.
"I walked through the playground to get through the building and they saw me and started running," he said. "You get one, you get all of them. Once they got a line I sat down."
The photo of him signing their yearbooks instantly went viral, and is almost up to 1 million hits.
In this tech savvy world, where the media likes to gives us all of the bad or controversial news just for ratings, it is nice to see something good for a change.
Boy, if we could all take a lesson from these children, seeing the good in others and showing respect, the world would be in a better place.
Kudos to Mr. Steve! And thank you kids for showing us how it's done.
