i want to congratulate a group of students from Project Link that faced their challenges head on and made 2014 the year they accomplished one of their goals. They did a phenomenal amount of work in a short amount of time. They overcame huge obstacles in their lives that will create ripple effects within their families and friends for years to come.
There is an anonymous quote that kind of sums up the path most of these students have been on.
"You are on the road to success when you realize that your previous failures were only a detour."
Grisel, Plarita, Catherine, Amara, Patricia, Sonia, Tiana, Yamayra, Patrick, Hazel, Alwyn, Raheem, Da'Jah, Adika, Brandon, George, Terrell and Janell... Congratulations.
See ya next week.
"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
- Albert Einstein
"Go on in doing with your pen what in other times was done with the sword; show that reformation is more practicable by operation on the mind than on the body of man. Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy."
Thomas Jefferson
