Question

I was invited to be an instructor(辅导员) at a high school leadership camp this summer vacation.On the first day of camp，I noticed a boy under the tree.He was small，and his shyness made him appear weak and lonely.Nearby，200 campers were playing，joking and meeting each other，but the boy seemed to want to be anywhere else rather than where he was.

I was instructed to care more about campers who might feel left out.So I walked toward him and said，“Hi，I'm Kevin.It's nice to meet you.How are you？” In a shaky voice，he unwillingly answered，“Okay，I guess.” I calmly asked him if he wanted to take part in the activities and meet some new people.He quietly replied，“No，this is not really my thing.” I could sense that he was in a new world that this whole experience was foreign to him.But I somehow knew it wouldn't be right to push him，either.He didn't need a pep talk.He needed a friend.

The next day，at my first opportunity，I tried again，with the same questions as before.To which he again replied as before.I realized that there was a long way to go.That evening at our nightly staff meeting，I made my worry about him known.I asked them to pay special attention and spend time with him when they could.

The days flew by fast.When the “last dance” came，surprisingly，the boy from under the tree was now a shirtless dancing wonder.He owned the dance floor sharing meaningful time with others.I was happy to see his changes.At that moment，I realized that when you're good to others，you are best to yourself.
