Character is tested when the spotlight isn’t shining on you, it’s the unexpected moment when you just make a decision to help another person.
Here is an image of Santino Arnold from Southampton High School taking a moment to help out an opposing player tie his shoe during a Unified basketball game.
He had no clue that AD Darren Phillips pulled out his phone to capture this moment.
“Anyone that has seen our Unified Partners and Best Buddy members in action, are lucky enough to see these moments happen all the time,” said Phillips. “These programs are you unscripted character education lessons that no one has to plan for, it just happens.”
