When teeneagers choose the path of integrity!

Here’s a perfect example that “honesty pays off”! 

This story is from Chandler, Arizona.  14 year old Cody Chambers was riding his bike near his father’s house.  He found a wallet on the side of the road.  Inside the wallet: credit cards, health insurance, drivers license and $300 cash.  

Cody was able to get in touch with the owner.  Turns out the owner left it on the top of her car, and forgot about it when she drove away.  Cody’s mother, Carrie-Ann is super proud of her son showing off his true integrity.  

AND, here’s where it gets interesting.  She shared the story on her social media page.  It was then shared hundreds of times.  Adam Bailey (who doesn’t know the family), decided to reward his good deed.  He bought Cody an E-Bike!  Cody hopes his experience will inspire other teenagers to choose “the path of integrity”.  HONESTY and KINDNESS – that’s what it’s all about.
