This project is based on a true story in which a teacher gives her students blue ribbons. She tells her students to honour some person with the extra blue ribbons she gives them. One teenager gives his blue ribbon to a top senior executive. He in turn gave a blue ribbon to his boss. The boss in turn honoured his son with a blue ribbon which prevented him from committing suicide.
I thought a lot about who to honour with the blue ribbon which I got. Many people have made a difference in my life, so it was a hard decision to take about whom to honour. Finally, after a lot of thinking, I decide to honour my mother.
My mother has made a HUGE difference in my life. She has taught me so many valuable lessons and corrected me whenever I did something wrong. SHE MADE WHAT I AM TODAY.
The day I got the sheet of paper with the story written in it, I showed it to my mom and told her to read it. She read the story and told me that it was a very touching story. Then, she went about doing her work. After some time, I presented her with a blue ribbon and pinned it on her dress. She looked at it and was . . . . . . Speechless!! She was so surprised that I honoured her with the blue ribbon. She was so proud, happy . . . . She had all the positive emotions that you could ever think of. She told EVERYONE what happened and why she had a blue ribbon pinned on her dress. This is how I honoured her with the blue ribbon.
The reason I gave the blue ribbon to my mother was for all the LOVE that she has showered on me from the time I was born till now, even this very moment. She has also protected me when I was small-and even now-and she has also CARED for me all these fourteen years of my life. She has ENCOURAGED me when I thought I couldn’t do a certain thing. She has also CONGRATULATED me every time I achieved something. She CORRECTED me when I did somethi9ng I wasn’t supposed to do. There are so many more reasons why I honoured her. In short, I would like to say that I honoured her because of all the constant LOVE, PROTECTION, CARE, ENCOURAGEMENT, PRAISE, CORRECTION and for ALL THAT SHE IS TO ME. I REALLY couldn’t have got a better mom.
I really enjoyed doing this project. The topic for the project “WHO I AM MAKES A DIFFERENCE” was a creative one. When I first heard the story, I felt very emotional. I also understood that recognizing a person or honouring him/her in whatever little way you can, can change that person forever. And that one person can be a huge impact in society. I also enjoyed the part where I got to honour a person. In my case it was my mom. While doing this project, I got to know several new things about my mom. This project was really a blessing to me and my mother. I REALLY thank my English teacher Mrs. Manjula Belliappa for giving me this opportunity to do such a unique project which is so different from all the other projects that I have ever done.
By doing this project I have learnt many valuable lessons which I will cherish for life. But the most important lesson I have learnt through this project was-
