to make a difference

Someday I'm gunna do big things
I'm gunna be known for something.
I feel like a lot of time I do a lot but it all goes unnoticed... people take me for granted. Not that I do things to be noticed, but sometimes it's nice just to have someone come along and encourage you. Let you know that what you are doing has made a difference. 
Today one of the teachers that I have spent the least amount of time with told me how hard I work. and it was very nice to hear, especially since I don't know how she really could have known that. I got a B in the last class she taught and there are so many that are doing better than me. My goal was to be the best and even though that isn't going to happen, even though others are going to get better grades, my goal is to make a difference. Its not about who gets to be team lead the most times or whose so and sos favorite, what matters is that we make a difference, we go out of our way to help others. and even though it may go unnoticed by everyone you hope to matter to, there's always someone watching... it may even be the person you least suspect, but they encourage you to keep at it and it makes you think for a moment that its not all in vain, that someday it will matter to more people and you'll be more. 
So stay strong and keep pushing... someday more people will see how much of a difference just a single person can make.
