Those favorites who entertain us are rewarded with Tonys, Oscars, Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, and other recognition. We give awards to our students in school. Some jobs give special praise to employees. How about the masses of society? I think we need one more big award for those everyday people among us who truly make a difference in our world.
The architect who designed your workplace might have incredible skills, but does the general public hear about it? How about your daughter's third grade teacher? The person who served you those fries and burgers at your favorite fast food place might be incredible, but does he get acknowledged for it? During this pandemic there are many people who are stepping up and doing amazing things, but are we hearing about them?
I love how some television stations do hometown heroes features, but I'm not talking about just those who rise to that level. I'm thinking more of the "best waitress I have ever been served by" or the preeminent delivery driver or the unrivaled parking lot attendant. There are people in this world who make a difference every day by simply being outstanding at the work they do and the way they interact with others. Don't you think that is award worthy?
