My Minerva moment came when I started working in the school board being a sub teachers aid. Having the joy of working in different schools in my county i noticed that the kids that needed the most help was right in front of my face. It was at my own kids school. So I decided to start making a difference, even if its a small one its a start. I got with the principle and asked her if I could start donating clothes to the school for the children. As i started donating clothes i found out that there was parents that needed clothes to wear as well. Some of them didn't have winter clothes or winter coats. I started gathering clothes, coats, shoes and what ever else that could be used and started giving them to the local school. Now I have some help from family and some wonderful friends in a neighbor city that gives as well. We are starting small, but baby steps lead to giant leaps when you get going.Posted by making a difference, 6 May 2010.
