Apparently a true story from Nebraska, USA.
A High School Principal gave every student - close to 500 of them - a blue balloon and told them to write their name on it them blow it up. They were then collected and dumped in this corridor.
At this point, the photo was taken.

He told the students to find their own balloon.
After a hour, only 19 of students had done so.
And it was complete chaos.

THEN he told the students to file into the corridor one by one, grab ANY balloon, head out to the car park and find the PERSON whose name was on the balloon.
After 23 minutes, every student had their balloon back.

It was meant to demonstrate the importance of organisation, structure, and rules.
I like to think it demonstrates that doing something for someone else eventually leads back to yourself.

I'd love to know the details behind this. The photo is genuine, and the overall story is true, but although I'm told Nebrasks, 2018, I have no confirmation of that place and date. I'd love to know !!
