It was refreshing to read in some detai...Courtney,<br /><br />It was refreshing to read in some detail about your meeting with Dr. Rose.<br /><br />I’m optimistic that she listened to your comments—both the god and the bad—and will use them to tweak the program to make improvements.<br /><br />All of your life you’ll probably find yourself in situations where you’ll be around people who may seem to be better off than you. Likewise, and you’ve probably seen this at Richmond High, you’ll also be in situations where others will look at you in the same way. All I can suggest to you is to work so you can be proud of who and what you are. Whether you’re more successful, wealthier, or prettier than others may never be something under your control so worry about those things that ARE under your control. DO the best that you can so you can stand tall and proud.Don Gosneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110247579694408858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022354377530449289.post-41386792469233534182009-07-07T12:56:26.610-04:002009-07-07T12:56:26.610-04:00Courtney,

You were all chosen because "someone" saw a special quality in you. The lesson is to grow that "special quality" -- you all already have it, just nurture it. And let the rest take care of it self --"someone" is always out there noticing.<br /><br />The concert sounds wonderful -- I couldn't wait for your upload (although I am looking forward to it) so I found Branice McKenzie's Myspace page and listened to her there. Here's the link:<br /><br />http://www.myspace.com/branicemckenzie<br /><br />Keep on enjoying and stay special.Madeline Kronenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00809038721402994691noreply@blogger.com
