“Not Everything Is About Yourself,” 12-Year-Old Caught on Camera Helping Blind Man Cross Busy Street
KFOR ^ | OCTOBER 7, 2016 | K. QUERRY

Jayden Denton was walking home when from school when he reached a busy intersection and spotted Terry Strader.

Strader is blind and works at a nearby center for the Blind and Visually Impaired. In order to get lunch, Strader has to cross a notoriously busy street.

“I just decided to help see if I could help him, see if he wanted help crossing the street,” Denton told WLWT.

Strader accepted the help, and someone snapped a photo as the two crossed the street together.

Denton says even though it was a simple act, he has learned a powerful lesson.

“Not everything is about yourself. Other people might need something from you or need your help or something. Good stuff will come back in return,” he said.

I think Jayden has a good family, raising a son with good values. Good for him for accepting and acting on those values.

And the person who posted the original pictures is also to be celebrated.

Strange report. They should have showed the photos taken for more than a split second.
And what was that reporter wearing? ...a vest on top of a vest?

A split second and they were out of focus and so small that seeing anything was impossible. I agree. Though what it may be is that the person who snapped the photos either wouldn’t give them permission to use them, or they were unable to contact the person to obtain permission to show them.

The irony of this is telling.

A 12 year old boy makes a spiritual leap.

When Hillary Clinton’s mother, Dorothy Howell Rodham, died in 2011, Hillary announced that *for the first time* (age 64) she realized that “there was something more important in life than yourself”.

It’s pretty obvious that the lesson didn’t take in her case.
