RIC | News | And Still I Rise: RIC Senior Ayana Bass Uplifting Others Through Education
One morning a man walked along a beach covered with thousands of starfish that had washed up during a storm; they were now drying in the sun and would die if they didn't make it back to the ocean. Up ahead he saw a little girl picking up the starfish one by one and tossing them back into the sea. As he approached her, he couldn't help but ask, "Why bother? There are too many of them. You won't make a difference." The little girl picked up another starfish, tossed it into the water and said, "But I made a difference to that one."
