Dear Editor,
I’d like to give a reminder to all students who ride the bus.
Please, look up from your portable devices once in awhile, and if you see an older person standing, get up onto those strong young legs of yours and offer your seat out of respect.
These are the people who have contributed so much to the society you live in. I have seen older individuals left standing too many times when young, strong students are sitting. As one ages, stability can weaken, so please take a minute and think about maybe giving up your seat to make someone else’s life a little more comfortable. I hope that when you reach that age, someone will show you the respect you deserve.
Thank you,
Laurie Darcus
