precious
This movie was extremely heavy. Although the story was about Precious’ horrible life, it was a great movie that I would highly recommend. I wish I was some sort of sociologist with an intelligent response to this movie, but all I can say as a reasonably ignorant (which I think many of us are) viewer, is that it was absolutely heart wrenching and my face was covered in tears.
It’s simply a must see. It is eye opening and heart wrenching.

Post Secret
Tonight’s Post Secret event was fantastic! Frank’s talk was both humorous and inspiring and motivational. Unfortunately I can’t begin to reiterate his message in a way that does his talk any justice, so just take my word for it! I appreciated all of those who were brave enough to share their secrets. The crowd both laughed and cried and it was just a great community building experience. I have a little something in mind for tomorrow, just wait and see!
CAN
This is another video that will pull at your heart strings. The video quality is bad, which is unfortunate. But, if you haven’t heard of Rick & Dick Hoyt’s story, it is an incredible one. They make a father/son triathlon team, but the son has cerebral palsy. Their story is inspiring, especially because Rick, the son, has a college degree, and they have competitive triathlon times despite his disability. I had to try not to cry in class when we watched it.
More about their story here
I also suggest watching this video too. I just can’t get over how amazing their story is.
special olympics
This is probably one of the best commercials I have ever seen. I am currently coaching for the Special Olympics and this is incredible.
fancy
We may not have anywhere to go in Slippery Rock Pennsylvania, but we can dress up anyway!
