THE PROPELLER One of the most astonishing features of a cruise ship are the relatively small propellers that are underneath the waterline. These small rotating blades work tirelessly to propel the ship and passengers forward to a desired destination. Often times, passengers see the wake that the propellers create and admire the beauty. Most of the time, the propellers are working while no one is watching. They work day, and night, in good weather, and in bad weather. Their goal is to help passengers on board reach a destination they cannot reach on their own. I respectfully nominate Amanda Phillips to be a recipient of NCL’S Giving Joy giveaway. Much like a propeller, Amanda works tirelessly helping students reach goals they cannot obtain on their own. Amanda teaches fourth grade math at Wooster Elementary in Greenbrier, Arkansas. She works tirelessly, most days into the early evening planning for each students individual success. She takes every approach to motivate her students and bring them JOY each day. Nothing makes her happier than seeing a former student in the community propelling themselves forward. She’s as solid as an anchor and is deserving of your vote! Let’s send this propeller of others on vacation.” Derek
