Joseph is a middle school student from North Carolina, U.S. Several weeks ago, when he was playing football near a church, he accidentally kicked the ball through a church window and broke it.

There were no people around, but instead of running away, Joseph called the police and reported what had happened. He also visited the pastor of the church and told him that he would pay for the broken window. He even offered to work in the church to make up for the damage he had caused.

Both the pastor and the police officer were greatly touched by his honesty. The pastor told Joseph that there was no need for him to work in the church. The police officer came to his school, had lunch with him and brought him a gift as an award for his honesty. The school was proud of Joseph and gave him an award, too.

No one told Joseph what to do after he broke the window. He just did the right thing. He has won everyone’s respect for his honesty.
