making-a-differenceIn this episode the students give examples of ways that they can make a difference in their home, school, community, and world as a whole. They researched the work of another student, Laura Stockman, to inspire them to think outside of themselves, and realize that they have the ability to make a difference in the world regardless of their age. The next step is to turn these words into actions. Tune in to future episodes to hear what we are doing to make a difference in our world. This episode is 7 minutes in length.
