#13: Best wishes for the holiday of love!
It was always a mystery to me why our teachers insisted, if we were going to bring any valentines to school, that we bring enough for the entire class; why couldn’t I just give them to the people I was closest to? Now that I’m older and hear the saddest stories about people who didn’t receive anything on Valentine’s Day, I completely understand why teachers do it, and I have no problem with it. In fact, I think it’s a wonderful idea.
How disheartening would it be to have to sit through an entire day of school knowing that no one cared enough about you to give you Valentine’s card? These girls made a positive choice to be kind, despite the fact that their instructor did not require them to do so. I’m relieved to hear that this youngster obtained at least one Valentine on that day.
