The Doorman: Turning a Bullying Past Into Kindness [Video]

Moving to a new school is hard for any kid, particularly if you’re in those emotionally turbulent High School years when you do it.

Josh Yandt, from London, Ontario unfortunately knows all about the teasing, bullying, and feeling of invisibility first-hand.

But Josh did something different. He decided to become known for something—holding the door for other kids as they pass through the hallway.

We found this story via CandadianDad.com, who says this about the video:

I realize that this isn’t the answer for all bullied children, but it’s definitely a cool story in this instance.

The best part about this story is that it carries a message we can all learn from. Kindness breeds kindness. If we all go out of our way to do something nice for someone else, even once a day, we can create a better community to be a part of. Rock on, Josh!

We couldn’t agree more. Thanks to Canadian Dad for sharing this story with us, and thanks to Josh for setting an example of how to be the change you wish to see in the world.
