About A High School Senior Named Jacob Rudolph
Coming out as LGBT is really not easy, which makes Jacob Rudolph's story all the more impressive. I was touched by the story of such high school student. When the high school student in Parsippany, N.J., came out, he did it in front of the entire school. His classmates and many in the audience responded with a standing ovation. I was a little tearful when I read the story. I was a crying a little when I was doing an iReport commentary about Jacob Rudolph's story.
During the presentation of senior class awards, Rudolph was given the Class Actor award, which was some kind of an irony for such guy. "Sure I've been in a few plays and musicals, but more importantly, I've been acting every single day of my life," Rudolph said. "You see, I've been acting as someone I'm not." That made my cry! The world would be a much better place to live in if honesty rules this planet. If all government and business leaders would be truly-honest and transparent about their dealings, our world would become a Utopia.
I'm not gay, but I'm truly sympathetic to what Mr. Rudolph did in admitting that he's gay. Honesty is a wonderful human quality. He did it with clarity and class. I believe schools should teach students about the importance of being honest and courageous. Honesty would keep a government clean and free from graft and corruption. ch the value of honesty among students. Honesty would curtail unfair business practices.
