One summer in college, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp.
I first 36 a boy under the tree on the first day of camp. His obvious 37 and shyness made him appear weak and lonely. Nearby, 200 38 campers were playing and joking, but the boy seemed to want to be anywhere 39 where he was.
I was instructed to care more about campers who might feel 40 . So I 41 him and said, “Hi, I’m Kevin. It’s nice to meet you. How are you?”
42 a shaky voice he 43 answered, “Okay, I guess.”
I calmly asked him to join in the activities and 44 some new people. He quietly replied, “No, this is not really my thing.”
I could 45 that this whole experience was 46 to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn’t be right to 47 him, either. It was going to take more time and 48 .
The next day, I was leading camp songs for the campers. They eagerly participated. But the boy was just sitting alone, 49 out the window.

In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of 54 every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tell this story as 55 as I can, and I advise others to look out for their own “boy under the tree.”
