The Starfish story has been a prime motivator for me in everything I do. To make the story short: a man walking along the beach noticed that so many starfish had landed on the beach and couldn’t get back in the water. The man began throwing them in one by one when a bystander said, you are wasting your time trying to get them all back in the water. But the man said, “Not to this one” and he threw it in the water. I hope to make an impact on a lot of people. But if I am “on the beach at the right time” (ie-at Graceland University at this time.) I want to make a difference to that one, or more, future “Star” Yellowjacket!
