Although I don’t have children, I am reminded in my job how incredible kids can be. Take for example, Travis, a sweet young man I met in Tampa, FL last week while I was working on the mobile clinic at an elementary school.
Travis came on board for his eye exam and learned that he needed glasses. While he was selecting his frames with one of his friends (who happened to be a little girl), I asked them “are you girls having fun selecting your frames?”
“I am a boy,” Travis said. I apologized to him and he replied “That’s OK, I get it all the time.”
Travis poses after selecting his new frames.
As you can see by his picture, he has very long hair, which led me to believe he was a girl. Later, I learned that this young man is growing his hair to donate to Locks of Love for his sibling. What an incredible child Travis is, unselfishly giving to his sibling and does not let it bother him that many people assume he is a girl.
