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.”
