He starts out by taking matters into his own hands - he will choose to sit beside her.

How often have I waited to see what life would bring, rather than making the decision my own?

This is a confident young man, and it shows.

He will excel, because success is very attractive, 

and he will be sure that she notices, since he'll be in her line.

while behaving like a gentleman.

he'll make her feel like the funniest kid on the planet.

I ask you - how could she resist him?

P.S. His mother is as concerned about his spelling and capitalization as you are.

This was not the time for corrections, though.

This was a moment to cherish.
