This summer i went to a HOSA (Health Occupation Students of America) competition in Orlando Florida for about a week, here i learned something very interesting. There were certain designated students that fell into a category known as the "Courtesy Corps", these students had the sole responsibility to aide students/advisors and guests with random questions to the best of their ability such as "where is this room", "how do i get here", "where is the restroom"... etc etc.. Of course at the time i thought nothing of it other than the fact that a couple of my friends had to waste a few hours of their 'precious' time to JUST help somebody.
NEXT PART
After my trip to Florida i went to Atlanta on vacation by myself and living in Texas my whole life i realized something. People in Georgia were much more courteous and kind than those in Texas. Not only did i NOT get cut off by a self-absorbed driver, I was allowed to change lanes/cross streets and drive in peace. Why is it that people that live within a 2hr flight of each other are so different? Is it my bias that i don't like Texas, or is it the fact that I live in South Texas, an underdeveloped region, and i have just grown to dislike such a homogeneous region?
Back to the story:
Imagine a world where people are courteous, where no courtesy corps are needed, people can ask and receive what they need, where you can cross the street with ease?
I personally like when people ask me for help and i CAN help, maybe that is just the feeling that every human yearns to have, " the human aspect of worth"
.. Maybe it's just me?
