Here at Jamesville-DeWitt High School, many students and teachers are not afraid to put themselves in another person\u2019s shoes. They understand the importance of looking at a situation from all angles before rushing to judgment.<\/p>\n
J-DHS social worker Will Hartley often uses the ability to look at a situation from a different perspective. Every day, he puts himself in a student\u2019s situation and really thinks about what it would be like if he actually was that specific student. \u201cI think you sort\u2019ve figure it out, as you go through life. You just realize that everybody has something going on, and it doesn\u2019t make sense to be judgmental. It doesn\u2019t serve a purpose,\u201d said Mr. Hartley.<\/p>\n
Many J-D students have put themselves in the shoes of another person. Senior Escince Hines says that, to her, \u201cperspective is the way you look at things.\u201d She uses perspective very often: \u201cI try to think about how other people would feel.\u201d As a captain on the cheer team, Escince uses perspective often to be a good teammate and leader.<\/p>\n
Sophomore Hayden Gladle says that, to him, perspective is \u201cthe way you look at things– everybody has a different perspective.\u201d To Gladle, perspective and empathy go hand in hand. He tries to take time to understand how certain things make people feel the way they do and why they feel that way.<\/p>\n
