Brody Ridder studies at The Academy of Charter Schools in Westminster, Colorado. When he got his yearbook, he was excited to receive signatures(签名) but ended up feeling “meaningless”.

He went up to people and asked them to sign his yearbook and some of them refused. He collected only three names from classmates and two notes from his teachers.

So, Brody wrote a yearbook note to himself: “Hope you make some more friends.” Reading that note broke his mother’s heart. “That was really hard to see and read as a mom,” said Cassandra Ridder. She took a photo of the note and posted it to a Facebook group at the school. Three upperclassmen(高年级学生), Simone Lightfoot, Logan South and Joanna Cooper, saw the photo. They spent hours discussing it and found ways to help.

“We all just started planning that the next day we were going to sign this kid’s yearbook,” South said. They encouraged as many students as possible to sign Brody’s yearbook even though none of them had ever met him. Many of the more than 100 signatures included paragraphs with words of encouragement, advice and even phone numbers. “And then right after that, everyone in the class started signing my yearbook,” Brody said.

“It made me feel like there’s hope for the school and there are a lot of good kids in this world,” his mother said.
