Remember the kid who sat with you on your first day at a new school. Go be that kid for someone.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

The first day somewhere new is mostly about lunch. Everything else can be worked out, and then there is a room full of established groups and nowhere obvious to sit, and one person deciding to make space changes the whole week. You still remember it, which tells you what it was worth.

Look for the person standing slightly outside a group this week, at lunch, at practice, in a new class. Do the simple version: say your name, ask theirs, make room. You do not have to adopt anybody, and those five minutes may be the thing they remember in ten years.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

Who sat with you when you did not know anyone?
