As many of you may know, Ellen takes pride in giving back to those who make a difference. My favorites are when she chooses a teacher who has made a difference in a child's life. I don't know about all of you, but whenever I see a video posted to Facebook about some amazing thing someone has done, there's a really good chance that it's a clip from Ellen and she is usually donating money, supplies, support, awareness, and so much more.
I've always loved seeing the amazing stories that teachers have to tell, and then I start reading more stories about amazing ways that people have changed others lives and it allows me to find inspiration so I can one day be half the teacher that some of these people are.
Before I was exposed to Storycorps, I received the storycorps-esqe stories from the Ellen show and Ellentube. Ellen plays such a big role in spreading awareness and archiving people's amazing stories, which is exactly what Storycorps is doing. It's not very often that the news and other media centers spread an individuals story. It's not often that people can hear a first hand account about being in Iraq and in the same place find a story about a teacher that saved a students life. Both groups are trying to spread knowledge of happenings, bring awareness to others, and bring healing and acceptance. Now all we have to do is get Ellen to promote Storycorps on her show and people will be exposed to an endless flow of history filled with awe-inspiring stories.
