MEDS attitude and goal is told in the Starfish Story (if you don't know the Starfish Story, click the Watch Video button below).

*A mother and her daughter were walking on the beach. The tide rolled in an then out leaving thousands of starfish stranded on the beach to dry and die.

The child picked up a starfish and threw it back in the ocean. The Mother said, “Oh honey, that won’t make a difference. “ The child picked up another starfish, threw it into the ocean saying, “To this starfish, it will make a difference.”

*this story can be told in either gender, male or female, Father or Mother, God bless the child.
