I Am Proud!


The other day Connor found a $10 bill on the playground. Yes, $10! My first thought was, "what kind of kid carries $10 in his pocket?" Anyway, I asked Connor what happened after he found the money. He said, at first he wanted to keep it and no one would know about it. But then he said, "I knew I needed to be honest." So, he went to go turn it into the office. At Connor's school they have a rule that if you go inside the school during reccess for whatever reason, you take a buddy with you. So, Connor tried to find someone to go with him. All his friends were trying to get him to keep the money! They wouldn't go in with him! Finally, someone agreed. The lady in the front office said that if no one came in to claim the money 1 week, Connor could have it. So, the countdown was on! The next Monday, Connor went in to see if anyone had claimed the money, and no one had! The secretary proudly presented him with the $10 bill and said, "I'm proud of you Connor! Even some adults would have a hard time doing what you did. Thank you for being honest!"

I couldn't agree more. This was a proud-mom moment. It's so nice to catch them doing something good!

Way to go, Connor! It's true - there are plenty of adults who wouldn't have done what he did. Good for him! And you and Brett, too. :)
