I did not have school supplies like the rest of the kids in the class. My teacher had to give me the basic school supplies I needed.<\/p>\n<p>Now I am an adult and I love to help others.\u00a0 I have been enjoying buying and filling backpacks with school supplies and taking them to donation points.\u00a0 Picking the coolest-looking backpacks and filling them with the coolest-looking school supplies I can find gives me great joy.\u00a0 Hoping that the kids who receive them enjoy them, I have filled and donated 10 backpacks so far.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Being a big brother or big sister.<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My family was very extremely dysfunctional but I did not feel like I was alone in the world. \u00a0I had many \u201cbig brothers\u201d and \u201cbig sisters\u201d watching out for me constantly, especially my beloved Grandma.<\/p>\n<p>As young as three years of age, I was allowed to walk anywhere I wanted to walk\u2014to the park, around the block, to the corner store.\u00a0 Even though I was small for my age, I was safe walking around by myself. My Mother did not know it but I had many adults watching out for me who cared about me.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>All of the help I received from others as a child made a huge difference in my life.\u00a0 I knew that others cared about me.\u00a0 I knew that if I could only get out of the house a while, I would be okay.<\/p>\n<p>All of the love and support I received has made a difference. \u00a0Now I write to help others.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that helping others, especially a child, will help you overcome depression and anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you make a difference in the life of just one child, you are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/category\/change-world-near-river-bj-rae-eagle\/\">a world changer<\/a>.\u00a0 You never know what that child might grow up to be because of your help and your love.<\/p>\n<p>Help a child soar like an <a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\">eagle<\/a> over life\u2019s storms!\u00a0 Help change a child\u2019s life!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Let the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging words<\/a>\u00a0in these\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a>\u00a0posts help you<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">soar like an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle<\/a>\u00a0above life\u2019s storms.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Another simple way to improve a child&#8217;s life&#8230;<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/teach-child-well-soar-eagle-near-river-bj-rae-encouraging-words\/\">And give a child success by teaching him values also&#8230;<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/no-drugs-soar-eagle-life-storms-near-river-bj-rae-encouraging-words\/\">Make certain a child has the strength to say no to drugs also&#8230;<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">What are the most powerful forces? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/category\/power-love-near-river-bj-rae\/\">Love<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/category\/power-positive-thinking-near-river-bj-rae\/\">positive thinking<\/a>!<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">If you enjoyed this post, remember that BJ writes\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/children\" data-slimstat=\"5\">children\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">books<\/a>.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Her\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/children\" data-slimstat=\"5\">children\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><u><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u>common core\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/reading-book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">reading book<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">is available on\u00a0Amazon.com\u00a0and\u00a0Barnesandnoble.com.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Buy BJ\u2019s\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/reading-book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">reading book<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">for a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/child\" slimstat=\"5\">child<\/a>\u00a0you care about today!<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can change the life of one child and improve the world!
