The story I read was Make a Difference, the author is unknown. The story was about a boy on the beach who was throwing a bunch of starfish into the ocean. When a man asked him what he was doing, the boy responded, “The sun is coming up and the tide is going out. If the starfish stay here they will die.” The man then said, “But there are thousands of starfish. How will it make a difference?” The young boy responded, “It made a difference to that one.”Even though the act may be considered very small to others, it made a huge difference to the starfish.
One afternoon my sister and I were outside with our neighbors. A few of my neighbors began to gang up on another neighbor. They were throwing an empty water bottle at him and spitting on him. The particular neighbor being picked on was getting annoyed. I nicely told my other neighbors that what they were doing was not very nice and they should stop. They continued to do it and said they were joking. I told them a couple more times that even if they were kidding it was not nice. I also asked them how they would feel if they were the ones being treated like that. Finally they stopped picking on the poor kid. This relates to my article because I made a difference by standing up for the boy. Even if they were kidding, it is not very funny and no one should be treated like that.
The character pillar that represents this article would be the giraffe which is fairness. The giraffe always tries to do what is right and has a gentle way of helping others do the same. I will live my life based on this pillar by always trying to do what I know is right. This pillar is important to the world of work, because there may be someone who is asking for your honest opinion on their work and if you do have some revisions for them you should tell them in a gentle way.
