Today's post is a reminder that you don't have to be a grand hero in order to make a difference in your community. Small change can be just as impactful as it can be more easily implemented in new communities.
This morning I was inspired by this article on the Shelter Buddies Reading Program in Missouri. Through this program, children read to shelter dogs in order to help calm their temperament and hopefully make them more likely to be adopted. The children benefit from this relationship too, as they are able to practice their reading skills without the pressure of a teacher or parent watching.
So often do we believe that our small changes won't amount to anything, but imagine if everyone made small changes, how much it would compound. True change will come from the efforts of many with various approaches to the same struggles.
"The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones." -- Confucius
