The Little Things Really Do Count the Most

Every time we receive an assignment in our Journalism class, our instructor chooses one student that he feels produced the best article in the class. The chosen student gets a handshake, a Spiderman sticker on their paper, their work read out loud, recognition for doing an amazing job, but most importantly, the satisfaction of mastering what was surely a difficult task.

Although difficult to receive, it is truly an honour if you are lucky enough to be a recipient of a sticker.

Angele Faucher, one of the girls in my class, just told me the sweetest story the other day on this topic.

For her one-year anniversary, her boyfriend Taylor gave her a Spiderman sticker because he knows how much it would mean to her to receive one.

As Angele told me the story, every girl in our class melted.

What does the Spiderman sticker symbolize for the couple?

It is indicative of Taylor’s consideration, thoughtfulness, and support. He truly listens to her, believes in her, respects and admires her, and cares about what she cares about.

Now that, Angele, is a keeper.
