“It didn’t make me stronger.” I stole that from someone somewhere, and you can’t beat it. I am sick of hearing “If is doesn’t kill you, it makes you stronger.”

“He did all he wanted to do, and all that could be done.” I’m a fan of adventures and personal achievement and putting yourself to tests that you can hopefully succeed at.

Whatever it is, I would want it to be meaningful to the people I leave behind. So perhaps have them choose something. If not, probably that I wish to leave this world a better place than when I came into it.
By 4th grade students are transitioning from learning-to-read to readingto-learn. Over 60% of 4th graders in our community (and nation wide) do not read at grade level1. Statistically, 2/3rd’s of students who are not proficient readers by 4th grade wind up in jail or on welfare2. Thanks to Reading Pals volunteers, students enrolled in our program QUADRUPLE their literacy learning rate, gaining 1 full year of literacy skills in just 4 months in the program.
1 hour a week reading with a community volunteer changes a students life forever! Do you have an hour to spare?
your parks are smokefree!
