I received an email that was about a teacher.  Unfortunately there are several pictures that go with the email and I felt that the story was so wonderful that it needed to be heard by as many people as possible.  Let me see if I can get the pictures on here and you still be able to read it without making my post look cluttered.  I hope I can.  Well it didn’t work so now I’ll just tell you what the teacher did.

This teacher brought each student from her graduating class to the front of the room, told them what a difference they made in her life and how.  Then she gave them a blue ribbon which said “Who I am makes a difference” then handed them 3 more to go out and give to someone that has made a difference to them and ask them to do the same thing with the other ribbons.  Long story short, those simple little blue ribbons gave a lot of people a different outlook on their own value.

People just don’t realize that they make a difference to others and this was a great exercise for the students.  I am a firm believer in making sure that anyone and everyone that has made a difference in my life knows it.  This teacher just took it a step farther than I have.
