A Standard of Excellence

My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat almost at the same time in the secondhand clothing store. __36__ the other coats were hanging down loosely, this one looked as if it were __37__ itself up. The thick, black wool was soft and unworn. It had a black velvet collar, beautiful tailoring and an __38__ price of $28. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John’s eyes shone. Dark, woolen overcoats were popular with teenage boys, but could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better, __39__ that touch of classic elegance from long ago.

John tried it on and turned from side to side, __40__ himself in the mirror with a(n) __41__, studied expression that soon changed into a smile. The __42__ was perfect.

John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a wide smile. “How did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They __43__ it!” he said, carefully folding it over the back of a chair and __44__ it flat.

Over the next few weeks, a change came over John. __45__ replaced contrariness; __46__, reasoned discussion replaced argument. He became more mannerly and more thoughtful, eager to __47__ me. “Good dinner, Mom,” he would say every evening. One day when I suggested that he might start __48__ homework before dinner, John, who was always putting off doing stuff, said, “You’re __49__. I guess I will.”

When I __50__ this incident to one of his teachers and remarked that I didn’t know what caused the __51__, she said laughing, “It must be his coat!” At the library, we ran into a friend who had not seen our children for a long time, “Could this be John?” he asked, looking up to John’s new height, __52__ the style of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another.

John and I both know we should never __53__ a person’s clothes for the real person within them. But there is something to be said for __54__ a standard of excellence for the world to see, for practicing standards of excellence in thought, speech, and behavior, and for __55__ what is on the inside to what is on the outside.

Your parents have just told you the news­­—you’re moving to a new house. How in the world will you tell your friends?

First, CALM DOWN.  36   a while to ­­­catch your breath and let the news sink in before you call your friends. Make   37   you have the whole story before you start telling people.

38  friends who need to hear the news from you. Think about  39  you’d like to tell them, and when. A face-to-face talk may be the best way to let  40  frie-

nds know, but the phone may be fine for others.   41  after school or on a weekend is good. You don’t want to drop big news like this on your friends during the school day.

HOW SHOULD YOU START? Say something like, “I have some big news I want to share   42   you.” That will prepare your friend for what is going to come. Then say, “I’m    43  .” Tell him as many details as you know,  44   let him know how you feel about it.

Each friend will have a different   45  to the news, so BE PREPARED. Some girls may   46  crying. But some may get   47  , some may get silly, and some may give you the   48   that they don’t care.   49  happens, be sure to talk to your friends if the things they do and say   50  your feelings.

Ask friends not to tell anyone else   51  you say it’s OK. You could say, “Please don’t tell   52  until Monday.” That will give you a   53  to let close friends hear the news from you first.

Ask your parents for help if you need it. A(n)   54  may be able to help you

55   the right things to say and help you understand your friend’s reactions.
