In my opinion, one of the more admirable character traits a person can have is when they are genuinely happy for someone else. It is so great to see our students that are 100% excited for their peers that have success. Nothing is better than seeing the golf team excited for the cross country or tennis team or the football team supportive of the softball team or volleyball team. Life is so much more enjoyable when we can be happy and supportive of others instead of just staying focused on our own all of the time. I've seen the students of YPS come a long way in this regard over the past few years.
When One-Act won the state championship last year, it was overwhelming to see EVERYONE so genuinely excited. That's the true York Duke spirit. Those that can be happy for others and supportive of what they get and don't get are to be admired and respected. I feel for those that can't be happy for others because they're too worried that someone, somewhere might get something they don't get. Too often, they fail to see multiple sides to any issue because they are so blind-sided with thoughts of just their own self-interests. That's a sad way to live life, in my opinion, but to each their own.
Today, I salute all of the York Dukes that can be respectful, supportive, and happy for others. Go Dukes!
