Chivalry: a thank you
When I was in Iowa campaigning early this month, I learned and experienced a lot. I got a behind-the-scenes look at a campaign, I observed the process and work that goes into a campaign, and I met several amazing candidates. It was truly a blessing to be involved in such a process as well as to meet such Godly politicians. But there was something else that I was exposed to in Iowa that really encouraged and blessed me as well; and that was the attitude of the young men in our SAT (Student Action Team).
In my area, there aren’t very many home-schooled teenagers, and the few older boys that I am around have disappointed me with their rather careless attitudes. So while on the SAT I was pleasantly awakened to the fact that there are plenty of chivalrous knights out there, just waiting to hold the door for us ladies. At first I wasn’t completely accustomed to having the young men (even if they were a long ways behind us) running to reach the door first so they could hold it for us ladies… simply the way we were treated and spoken to was with respect. But by the time I got home I was saying to myself “these are the kind of young men I want my brothers to be around!”.
So this is a “thank you” to all you young men out there who endeavor to treat us girls as ladies. We truly are thankful for every little thing you do to make us feel like the elegant ladies we wish to become.
Thank God; for there are still knights battling the war against our culture today!

I know what you mean. I try to be a knight for the ladies around me.
Well, Jen, I think I'll take that as a compliment... :-) Seriously, though, it's always nice for us guys to hear that our efforts are appreciated.
You're right, Jen. My time in Iowa was a very refreshing to me also..._"You mean there are actually gentlemen that don't let the door slam in your face?"_
I add my thanks to the all the guys from the SAT reading this. :-) Your efforts are indeed appreciated!
As a young man, being a part of Team Iowa was an encouragement to me as well.
Many of teenage girls in my area seem to have excepted the message that Hollywood has been sending them (be as competitive as the boys, assert yourself, be in control, etc.).
While in Iowa, I was reminded that there are still some young ladies who have chosen to live up to a higher standard.
I want to add a special Thanks to all the guys on our SAT team that took the time to be Knights and opened doors for us.
As katie said "Your efforts are indeed appreciated!"
Thanks again,
Ros
