Who I am Makes a Difference . . .
A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her
seniors in high school by telling them the difference
they each made. She called each student to the front
of the class, one at a time. First she told each of
them how they had made a difference to her and the class.
Then she presented each of them with a blue ribbon
imprinted with gold letters, which read, 'Who I Am
Makes a Difference.'
Afterwards the teacher decided to do a class project
to see what kind of impact recognition would have on a
community. She gave each of the students three more
ribbons and instructed them to go out and spread this
acknowledgment ceremony. Then they were to follow up
on the results, see who honored whom and report back
to the class in about a week.
One of the boys in the class went to a junior executive
in a nearby company and honored him for helping him
with his career planning. He gave him a blue
ribbon and put it on his shirt. Then he gave him two
extra ribbons and said, 'We're doing a class project
on recognition, and we'd like you to go out find
somebody to honor, give them a blue ribbon, then give
them the extra blue ribbon so they can acknowledge a
third person to keep this acknowledgment ceremony
going. Then please report back to me and
tell me what happened.'
