 One day, when I  was a freshman in high school,


 I saw  a kid from my class was walking home from  school.


 His name was  Kyle.



 It  looked like he was carrying all of his  books.

 I  thought to myself, 'Why would anyone bring home  all his 
books 
 on a Friday?

 He must  really be a nerd.'

 I had  quite a weekend planned (parties and a football  game 
with 
 my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I  shrugged my shoulders and went  
on.

 As I was  walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward  him.


 They ran  at him, knocking all his books out of his arms  and 
 tripping him so he landed in the  dirt.





 His  glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the  grass 
about 
 ten feet from  him...





 He  looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his  eyes.

 My heart  went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he  
crawled 
 around looking for his glasses, and I  saw a tear in his eye.


 As I  handed him his glasses, I said, 'Those guys are  jerks.'

 They  really should get lives.



 ' He  looked at me and said, 'Hey  thanks!'


 There  was a big smile on his face.


 It was  one of those smiles that showed real  gratitude.


 I helped  him pick up his books, and asked him where he  
lived.


 As it  turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why  I 
had 
 never seen him before.



 He said  he had gone to private school before  now.


 I would  have never hung out with a private school kid  
before.


 We  talked all the way home, and I carried some of  his books.


 He  turned out to be a pretty cool  kid.


 I asked  him if he wanted to play a little  football
 With my  friends .

 He said  yes.


 We hung  out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle,  
the 
 more I liked him, and my friends thought the  same of him.


 Monday  morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge  stack 
of 
 books again.


 I  stopped him and said, 'Boy, you are gonna really  build 
some 
 serious muscles with this pile of  books everyday!


 ' He  just laughed and

I have that in my collection and it was a touching story.  I am glad I got it 
from another copy because I don't like emails with a lot of forwarded addresses 
on them.
But it was a real tear jerker of a story.
