A One day a teacher in New York decided to honour each of her pupils by telling them the difference they each made. She called each of the pupils to the front of the class. First she told them how the pupil made a difference to her and the class. Then she presented each of them with a blue ribbon1 with gold letters, «Who I Am Makes a Difference.»
В After that one of the boys in the class went to the local company and gave the ribbon to the worker. He wanted to thank the worker for helping him with his career planning. Then he gave him the other two ribbons, and said, «We’re doing a class project, and we’d like you to find somebody to honour. Give the person a blue ribbon, then give one more blue ribbon. That person can give the ribbon to a third person to keep this ceremony.»
That evening the boss came home and told his 14-year-old son and said, «The most surprising thing happened to me today. I was in my office and one of the workers came in and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative person. Then he put the blue ribbon that says «Who I Am Makes a Difference» on my jacket. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honour. I want to give it to you. I’m always busy and don’t pay much attention to you. Sometimes I shout at you for not getting good marks at school and for your bedroom being messy. But now I want you to know that you make a difference to me. You are the most important person in my life. You’re a great son and I love you!» The boy started to cry. He looked at his father and said, «Dad, I thought you didn’t love me. Now I know that you love me.»
D Later that day the worker went to see his boss. The worker told him that he liked him for being a very creative1 person. Then the worker presented his boss with the blue ribbon and said, «Would you take this extra ribbon and present it to somebody else? The young boy who first gave me the ribbons is doing a project at school and we want to keep this honour ceremony going.»2 Then the teacher decided to do a class project. She gave each of the pupils three more ribbons, told them to honour some other people and report about the results.
