Dear Humans,

Don’t save seats. On the bus, in the cafeteria, at an assembly. I know we’re all creatures of habit and we tend to associate with the same people, but it’s dangerous to get too stuck in our ways.

Besides, an open seat is an opportunity. To meet someone new, to see the world from a new perspective. Don’t waste that opportunity for an old friend who’s already told you all the jokes they know. 

One of the most important things you learn in school is how to get along with new people. Because you’re going to spend the rest of your life working alongside them, sharing the road with them, creating your communities with them. And sometimes sitting next to them.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
