EDITOR’S NOTE | KYLE PARMLEY PHOTO OF THE MONTH

It’s so important to treat people the right way, no matter their position or perceived status.

First of all, it’s the rule that all of our parents taught us growing up: treat others how you want to be treated.

I don’t think I’m much different from anyone else, in that I hope to be treated with love, respect and appreciation each day. So, I strive to exhibit those three traits to the people I come across on a daily basis. But of course, I can always do better at that.

It is my belief that how you treat others is the defining point of your character. If you’re the best doctor, teacher or businessman in the world, yet you treat everyone like garbage, then what do you have? I would assert that you have not much of value, at all.

So, I encourage all of us to be that smiling face, give that encouraging word and enjoy the hot summer days. Thanks for reading!
