So yesterday I had to empty my piggy bank in order not to overdraft. My first mission was trying not to break my artful piggy bank. Having to flip my piggy upside down in order to take out the coins using only a butter knife was a task which required patience. A task I was willing to endure for the sake of not over-drafting my bank account and saving my beautiful piggy. The first few minutes of excavating my coins was disappointing :( The only coins coming out were pennies!! I knew I had put lot's of quarters in my piggy but why we're they not coming out?? As the time went on I finally got everything out!
I was so happy to finally have my coins out. As I started to get ready to count I felt a bit disappointed because I had a lot of pennies.As I looked at my pennies I said to myself "these pennies will not get me much, they don't matter." As I finished counting I was amazed to know I had six dollars in pennies!!! but the beautiful thing was six dollars wasn't my grand total. The grand total of all my coins coming together was thirty six dollars.
Going through this experience taught me two valuable lessons. The first lesson was not to under estimate the value of a penny. The second lesson was a deep understanding on how ones person efforts to making a positive difference in this world is just like that one penny. WE ALL MATTER.
