Something to think about

There was a young man walking down a deserted beach just before dawn. In the distance he saw a frail old man. As he approached the old man, he saw him picking up stranded starfish and throwing them back into the sea. The young man gazed in wonder as the old man again and again threw the small starfish from the sand to the water.  He asked, “Old man, why do you spend so much energy doing what seems to be a waste of time.”  The old man explained that the stranded starfish would die if left in the morning sun.  “But there must be thousands of beaches and millions of starfish!” exclaimed the young man. “How can you make any difference?”  The old man looked at the small starfish in his hand and as he threw it to the safety of the sea, he said, “It makes a difference to this one!”. –Author unknown  

It’s the moment that makes the difference. It’s not flag-waving, march on, over efforting that changes things. It’s something that’s done in the moment, out of connecting with compassion that is remembered for all time. It’s fleeting. It’s there and then it’s not. And the only time you remember it is when you need it. - Mary Robinson Reynolds

Make A Difference

Make A Difference started in Escobedo Middle School in 2008. This club started when our teacher Mrs. Dain taught us about bullying with videos, poems, and activities. It all started with the Blue Ribbon Video. We saw how much of an impact one act of kindness could have on one person. Anybody and everybody could change one person’s life with something simple.

Don’t get mad…Make A Difference!
