I recently did a student leadership assembly for the school that I work for that involved Tootsie Pops! I shared with the children how Tootsie Pops are so much like people. When you first look at them, they look like just any other sucker. However, if you take the time, you will find out that there is something special inside. Something that you cannot readily see upon first glance. People are very much the same. They may be hard on the outside, or have a certain look about them, but if you take the time and spend the energy to get to know them, you may find that they have something special to offer.
I want to encourage you practice tolerance. There are many introverts in the world. It takes time and patience to get to know them. Do not make assumptions about someone based on their appearance. Everyone should see people as a Tootsie Pop!
