I recently saw a documentary entitled “Start Throwers”. I went on to read a few excerpts from the
Loren Eiseley story with the same name.
Star throwers are individuals who make a difference one life at a time. Sometimes the difference is reading a story
to a young child, or visiting the sick,
or maybe building a person’s self esteem.
I have had the
opportunity to be a part of a Star Thrower, who just happens to be a young woman
of the ripe old age of 19. Morgan has
truly been a star thrower ever since she was in the 5th grade. How do I know this? I was her 5th
grade teacher. AND, yes, I am smarter
than a 5th grader. Morgan is
always listening, coaching, telling others how awesome they are. She likes to build up others’ self
esteem.
Recently, I heard that Morgan had
been assisting two females. She has taken
one of them to an aquatics center and just “hung out” with her. She talks to her about friendship, family and
anything else this little girl wants to discuss. This little one had been bullied at school,
and needed some inspiration to go on. Morgan’s next new friend is a 16 year old,
that is academically awesome, however socially inept. Ms. Morgan rose to the occasion to just listen
and allow some of her own stories of success,—surface, and take her to the
movies. I too want to make a difference
for Morgan, which is why I have set up a GOFUNDME account for her. Yes, I have.
Morgan has been doing all of this without any financial support. Please help me to help Morgan. Thanks for sharing and your support. Go to: http://www.gofundme.com/
