Beginning my first semester in a community college, I found that everyone was extremely individualistic. Little to no communication happened between students, and what was said was not always nice. In my math class, I found that my neighbour next to me always made rude remarks under his breath about everything my friends and I did.
Beginning my first semester in a community college, I found that everyone was extremely individualistic. Little to no communication happened between students, and what was said was not always nice. In my math class, I found that my neighbour next to me always made rude remarks under his breath about everything my friends and I did.
The first thought that came to my mind was to just ignore him, but then
I remembered how Jesus said, “If you love those who love you, what credit is
that to you? For even sinners love those who love them” (Lk 6:32). This was my
chance to put his words into practice and build bridges. I brought a bag of
chips to class and informed my friends about my plan. At the beginning of
class, I popped open the bag, offering some to my friends first so as not to
awkwardly come off too aggressively to the person I was really trying to love,
my enemy.
