Fla. High School Student Sends Roses To 500 Classmates

POSTED: 6:37 am EST February 15, 2006

WESTON, Fla. -- If any female juniors at Cypress Bay High School weren't aware of classmate Paul Kim -- they know him now.

The 17-year-old junior ordered 500 red roses and had them delivered to nearly all his female classmates on Valentine's Day. A card attached to the roses said, "To all the lovely ladies of 2007, here's wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day. Affectionately, Paul Kim."

He said he used money he had been saving since his birthday in December to pay for the roses, which cost about $900.

"To me, Valentine's is a special day," Kim said. "I realized that not many girls would get anything and it would be an ordinary day. I figured I'd take the initiative and put a smile on their face."

5. What's great is that he did it for ALL of the girls

(gonna be a hard act to follow)

I remember talking with a trade-school classmate about her son. Her son always would kiss the prettier girl (this was well before Aids & the glut of sex-harassment suits in grade school).

I told her that she needed to tell him to kiss ALL THE GIRLS (Georgie-porgie, anyone?), not just the pretty ones . . .

Of course, someone will probably complain . . .

12. From the article

Kim's estimate on the class size was slightly off. There are more than 600 girls in Cypress Bay's junior class.

He said he got the idea Friday, when he saw the Business Professionals of America club was having trouble selling flowers as a fundraiser.

9. Hhhhhhmmmm

Either very smooth or he has more money than sense. Nice thought though, if genuine.

10. It Was Nice

It was nice of him to thank of the girls who would not get anything. It seems that if there were more people like him more people would like Valentine's Day.

11. Yeah, its great for those that otherwise received no

Valentines. My youngest son didn't go to school yesterday because it was Valentines. He only gets some from teachers, never students, so it's a sad day for him.
