Graduation Speech: Healthy Living Grant

Decent Essays
Hello,
Thank you for participating in the Healthy Living Grant from El Paso county’s DHS department. We were thrilled to be able to provide exercise, music therapy and drumming classes. The Pikes Peak Library District is hoping to participate in the grant again next year. Part of our commitment to the grant is to provide anecdotes. Would you be willing to share any stories or comments you heard or anything you noticed? Did you have someone participate that never does? Have you noticed a difference in someone after a class?
Thank you for your time,
Lisa

The stories were genuine and provided several viewpoints to see the effectiveness of the organization. Michael presented well, the only area I would like to have known more about is, the history behind the organization and therapeutic techniques.…

    I am disappointed. I am not only disappointed in your failure to stitch the loopholes that have emerged in your morals. But I am disappointed that as a community it has come to this. We have disgraced the gift that we had ever so patiently been waiting for. If we can live through such horrific disease as the Plague and make it to a land oceans away with nothing but the clothes on our backs and still make a name for ourselves, then we should not be here.…

    This nation is not a single entity, but a unity of races, genders, and ethnicities. Who is to place supremacy of each of the previous categories? As one great man has said before me “I have a dream” to a crowd of people united for one cause, equality. Let us consolidate again in their sacrifices to not repeat the mistakes of the past. This country is divided into groups.…

    I just came from a NAACP meeting, we discussed the horrors of lynching, how it took so many innocent and young black lives from families and friends. This is all because of the color of our skins, not the amount of knowledge we hold. I have been apart of this group for as long as I can remember. The National Association of the Advancement of Colored People, was founded in 1909, right in the heart of New York City. Unlike Booker T. Washington, who urged black people to accept segregation, the NAACP desired to make whites aware of the need for racial equality, we want to be noticed politically and socially as equal people.…
