		<description>Bill Strickland conveys his genuine belief in people &quot;long before you give them the speech.&quot;  And that belief is contagious.  He makes it visible.

Give us good food, water, sunshine, music... When we are treated like world class people, we act like world-class people.  I had some rough times growing up in Pennsylvania myself, and just like Strickland, there was an art teacher that took me under his wing (that teacher is still a close friend to my family)!  Strickland&#039;s talk makes me feel enabled to accomplish more.

Strickland has me in awe.  He dreams big, then grabs the nearest cardboard box to make it happen.  All too often I overlook the box.  

Thanks for pointing out the video!</description>

		<description>Very inspiring.

I see people everyday suffering from what Strickland calls Spiritual Cancer.  Our beautiful public building welcomed all comers.  But how do we continue to welcome people when our building is being destroyed and our staff has been worn down?  I try to see each person in front of me as the most important person in the world.  But this is harder every day.  

It&#039;s good to see that someone has succeeded, I hope someday things change for us as well.  

If nothing is impossible, then...</description>

		<description>A few years ago I was a full time ballerina. I loved it and trained 8 hours a day four of those hours being on point shoes. One day I did a jump and landed and heard a big snap coming from my ankle. I had snapped the main ligament in my ankle. The doctors told me that dancing or doing any sport again was impossible. But I didn&#039;t give up. I am now a rhythmic gymnast training 35 hours a week and training for the 2012 Olympic games. Every on said it was impossible. They still sometimes do now. But nothing is imposible if you put your mind to it!</description>
