Rex was a good student in school—not the outstanding student he could have been, but a good student. He was picked on a lot, and didn’t have many friends—no best friends. Sometimes he was even afraid to go to school, and that certainly was not good for his grades. He was very close to his family but not really close to anybody else.

Rex liked organizing things and collecting things, but he really didn’t know anybody else who had those same interests. He was not very good at football, basketball, baseball, track, or any other sports, although he would have put more effort into them if he had not been laughed at so much when he tried. He never understood why sports was the most important thing in life for so many people. So, he learned how to just keep to himself and work on the things he was good at.

He finally learned that he was his own best friend, and that he was going to become all he could be regardless of what the others thought. His grades began to skyrocket! He finished high school at the top of his class, went to college, still at the top of his class, and eventually earned five degrees!

Today, he is vice president of a large worldwide company and he has many people working for him—people who enjoy working for him, because he treats them the way he wishes he had been treated in school.

He could have chosen to hurt others the way he was hurt. But instead, he chose to become a HERO, not only to those around him, but also to himself!

Larry was everybody’s friend. He made good grades, and he was always very HELPFUL. The other students thought he told the funniest stories, and he was a good listener, too if anyone had a problem. But most of the time, none of them paid any attention to Larry’s limp. They had grown up with him and knew that his leg had been injured in a car accident before they even started to school. Of course, Larry couldn’t run very fast or play ball very well, but he wrote great stories and played the piano better than anybody else in the school.

One day a new boy moved into the neighborhood and started attending Larry’s school. On his very first day, he tried to impress everybody by bragging about all the things he could do better than anybody else. Then he stopped and pointed down the hall and said in a loud voice, “Hey, who’s that dude that can’t walk?”

Then the boy started copying the way Larry limped. The new boy was laughing and thought his new friends would laugh with him, but instead everyone was very quiet. Larry came closer and with a big smile he said, “Hi, I’m Larry. You must be the new guy I heard about.”

Suddenly, the boy felt very ashamed of himself. He realized that he had just been totally insensitive. “Hey, it’s nice to meet you,” he said, barely able to look Larry in the eye. He knew Larry must have seen the way he was acting, but Larry was friendly to him anyway.

The boy knew the difference in HELPING and hurting, and he certainly knew Larry was the HERO type. He felt so bad about what he had done that right then and there, he decided to stop bragging about himself and start being a little more like Larry instead.

Danny’s best friend was Marcos. Marcos and his family had come from Mexico and moved in down the street from Danny’s family a few months ago. Marcos and his dad knew quite a bit of English, but his mom and his little sister spoke only Spanish. Marcos was the best soccer player Danny had ever known, and the boys played during recess and at home after school.

One morning when Danny walked into the classroom, he noticed that a boy in the back was holding a piece of paper and trying to read it. Several boys were laughing at Marcos. It didn’t take Danny long to figure out that Marcos had brought a note for the teacher from his mother. The school had plenty of Spanish speaking teachers so there would be no problem knowing what the note said. But when Marcos took the note out of his backpack and laid it on his desk, this boy who was known as a trouble-maker grabbed the note and passed it around. The boys were all taking turns trying to read the note and laughing at how funny they thought the words sounded.

Marcos was just sitting there feeling embarrassed while the boys made fun of him and his family. That’s when Danny grabbed the note from one of the guys. “Why do you have to act like jerks?” he asked them angrily. One boy said, “Well, why can’t his momma write a note somebody could read?” And then they all laughed some more. Danny handed the note back to Marcos and looked the other boys right in the eye. “Somebody smart enough to know two languages could read it. Somebody like Marcos. Now, leave him alone.”

Marcos felt a lot better, and Danny became a HERO.
