Dear Headteacher,
I was having
lunch at the café in Fenwick Place today, Thursday 8 September, when I noticed
a very elderly man park his car and make his way unsteadily across the road to
the newsagent’s. There were quite a few students from St Ninian’s picking up
their lunch at the café next door.
When the elderly man came out of the
newsagent’s, he took the arm of a St Ninian’s student and spoke to him. They
then set off across the road back to the man’s car. The man held on tight to
the student’s arm until they reached the car.
I dare say
it would have been easy for the student to refuse to help or even to shake the
man off. It is to his credit that he didn’t, even though the other students
were having a quiet laugh at the sight.
Obviously, I
don’t know who the student was but I want to thank him for his kindness.
Young people
are often criticized, so it’s good to be able to give some praise where it’s
due.
Yours
sincerely,
Jean Nisbet
Me too x
