Students Suprise Seatmate

I heard a really interesting story in the news this morning. A few days ago, two high school seniors from Maryland were on their way back from a football conference, when they struck up a conversation with a man they were sitting next to on the plane about football. He knew alot about football, and they were suprised at how knowledgable he was about the sport, and so ended up talking to him the entire plane ride. When they got off the plane ride, they discovered that the man was actually Clarence Thomas, A Supreme court justice. They immediatly told their principle they wanted to invite him to speak at their graduation. The principle didnt believe that they could ever get a supreme court justice to speak at their small maryland highschool. But suprisingly enough, Justice Thomas was so impressed by the boys, that he not only agreed to speak at the graduation, but he gave then a great honor by telling the whole room how highly he thought of them. I found this story really inspiring, because it shows how a little act of kindness can go a long way. One of the things that impressed the justice about the boys was that even though they had no idea who he was during the plane ride, they still went out of their way to be friendly. From that they got something that is going to go with them theyre whole lives. Not only is it an amazing memory, theyll also always be able to get a an amazing letter of recommendation that noone would doubt
