Talk about gentleman-like...



Keep in mind...not really an A&M fan...until tonight.

So, tonight I took my sister (who's a freshman at Collin College) to a transfer college fair. When we got there the place was packed with over 30 people standing in the back (which is where we were). This advisor from A&M gets up to speak on the panel and the first thing he does is commend this guy in the back that gave his seat up for a lady. And then he said, "come on guys, can we show some compassion for the ladies?"

These two guys in front of my sister and I are the first to get up after the Aggie guy said that; I was in a kind of shock. And you see all these men get up to give their seats to girls. It was really awesome and yet so simple. What ever happened to compassion and caring like that. And I'm not even talking about just when guys give up their seats for girls or hold the doors open for them, but what about when people do the same for disabled or elderly people? I mean, I know I try my best to go out of my way to help others when the opportunity is there, but what about the rest of America? When was the last time you showed compassion? Or like the organization from high schools across the U.S. "Random Acts of Kindness?"

Go out there tomorrow, and show some compassion.
