Just as the young man believed he could make a difference in at least one starfish' life, I believe I can make a difference in at least one student's life, each period, of each day,of each year.
Starfish
The Starfish Poem
An old man walked the ocean beach the morning after a violent storm. He noticed a young man ahead of him, picking up starfish and flinging them into the sea.
Finally, unable to contain himself, the old man approached the youth and asked him why he was doing this. The young man replied that the stranded starfish would die if left on the beach in the morning sun. "But the beach goes on for miles and there are thousands of starfish," countered the old man. "What you are doing won't make any difference!"
The young man looked at the starfish in his hand and said, "It makes a difference to this one."
