On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, No, I really dont want to do this. I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldnt be right to force him, either. Actually, the boy didnt need a close talk but a friend.At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when I saw the boy under the tree sitting alone. I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused once again. That evening I was told the boys name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.The days went by and the time came when we had to leave.

I couldnt believe it was the same person.In October of my second year, I received a phone call from Tommys mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed. I offered my deep sadness.

You made a difference for Tommy during his last months.At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day.
