Andy Weber: βBe somebody, be the somebodyββwhere did that mindset come from and what does
it mean to you?
Sarah Verardo: That mindset not only governs my daily life but also comes with an intense responsibility.
I have three daughters, and one night I had to miss calling my daughter to sing her bedtime song. She was in first grade at the time, and now sheβs in fourth grade. She said to me, βItβs
okay, Mama, you were being the somebody.β I asked her what she meant, and she explained that her teacher said when someone gets hurt, everyone just stands around saying, βSomebody needs to help that person.β She realized we can be that somebody,and it was such a simple yet profound insight.
Hearing that from my daughter was incredible. Iβve always believed that if you have the ability to help someone, you must do it. Every single one of us can be the somebodyβin our homes, with our families, and for our communities, nation, and world.
