This story happened when I was 11 years old. I’ll never forget it.
I was at my friend Jenny’s after school one day. We were doing homework when a friend of Jenny’s mum’s came over to . I don’t remember her name or even what she looked like. I remember her hands, her voice and the lesson she taught me.
I remember her hand reaching out for mine. What hands she had, I thought; rich, dark skin going well with the orange nail polish (指甲油). Then I heard her saying, “Oh no, that is NOT you shake hands. Let me show you.”
After that, I just remember her voice explaining the importance of a good , having a sense of self, looking the other person in the eye… At that moment I felt respected.
I think of her every time I meet someone . I’m so thankful for her little lesson.
I thank her for the time to teach me something I didn’t know. I thank her for the that she didn’t talk down to me because I was 11 or because I didn’t something. I thank her for instilling (灌输) the idea that if someone doesn’t know something, don’t be afraid to share your knowledge.
