I must be Awesome!

We had a fun experiment at our elementary in the month of February where the students were given heart shaped sticky notes to write kind things about each other and post them on other's lockers without being caught.
A tough boy, one that you wouldn't think would be interested in the kindness hearts activity, tracked the principle down in the hall.  He excitedly told her that he had received two hearts on his locker. "They both said that I was awesome" he told her,  "so I must be awesome!"  He had concluded.
Isn't it amazing what a simple compliment can do to someone's identity.  He believed that he was awesome because two people had said the same thing about him so it must be true.
It doesn't take a lot to make a difference.

Making someones day, may be just a sticky note away.
Enjoy
