For one of my summer jobs, I’ve had the chance to watch BYU students while they teach special education students in Heber and Salem. One of the special ed students is a 16 year old named Amanda. Amanda is fantastic—she has a positive attitude, works hard, and has a great understanding of the skills necessary to function in life beyond school.
One day while walking to the grocery store Amanda and I had a great talk about her love life. She told me about the boys that have been contacting her and the dates she’s been on. At one point, she exclaimed, “I just love boys.” Having her say that made me realize just how much I have to learn from her.
