The Story:

Andrea Runnels // The Social Studies Whisperer

Andrea Runnels // The Social Studies Whisperer

The Social Studies Whisperer LLC is the brainchild of its quirky founder Andrea Runnels. Her love of American History and burning desire to help inspire others in a significant way pave the way for one magnanimous mission to save the Social Studies world. It wasn’t a hare-brained scheme.  It wasn’t a soft whisper. It was a deafening internal scream from the universe. A “Big Magic” calling that couldn’t be ignored.

It was as if the spirits of Henry Ford, Thomas Jefferson, Martin Luther King Jr., Theodore Roosevelt, Susan B. Anthony, and Annie Oakley combined forces in one collective voice of persuasion to take action. It was as if the souls of men whose ghosts haunt the grounds of Pennsylvania farmland forever left crimson from the mighty bloodshed during three harrowing days so many summers ago have transformed into an uproarious din of impassioned pleas. The voices of the men bravely storming the beaches of Normandy as their brothers from the sky join them to victory over German forces cascade in waves across the Atlantic Ocean speaking her name.

She is the one that has been chosen to carry out the hopes and dreams of all who have fallen on battlefields defending Old Glory.  She was pre-programmed with the brain wiring for grand plans and visionary dreams like no other. She has been gifted with the package of talents, skills, and creativity to make it happen.

She dares to stay focused on her designation to impact change in a big way.  She looks to the future optimistically with an iron will and steadfast determination to power through adversity and accomplish the pie in the sky dreams and exceed her lofty but glorious goals.
