The best of people and some leaders are the ones who stop focusing on themselves by helping others with their struggles. Some may say they don't go out of their way because they are shy or scared, so for some people it would be a huge jump.

In The Power of One, although Hoppie influences Peekay for a short amount of time, he turns Peekay’s life around and leads him to his greatest passion, boxing. Hoppie realizes that Peekay’s brokenness and depression is caused by the kids at school who bully him for being a rooinek, and he shows Peekay compassion and kindness.

He tries to camouflage himself so he does not stand out as a rooinek because the kids at school bully and discriminate against him because of his English heritage.
