Lev was always a very caring person. He would help people, even if he didn't quite realize he was helping. One example of this would be what he did for me. In middle school school and into the beginning of Freshman year, I had some "friends." Guys and girls both who treated me terribly because they knew I wouldn't do anything about it. These so-called "Friends" even went so far as to slam me into walls and punch me, for no reason at all, whenever they had the chance. I don't know if Lev knew about this or not, but he really did help in a subtle way. Whenever we were together he always stood in-front of me and slightly to one side. After that my "friends" stopped coming around all together. When he stood the way he did, it made it impossible for anyone to take a swing at me.

I'm not sure if he realised how much he helped me. That simple act, really did change my life in a positive way. Once I stopped getting hit, I was happier. Once I was happier I realised that those people weren't friends at all. I'm still thankful, every day I can walk down a hallway with out taking a beating.
