halfway speech

Desire Ramos



Experience is not what happens to a man
-It is what a man does with what happens to him.
(Aldous Leonard Huxley)
What you gain after any experience leaves room for your mind to grow, you will discover your own strengths and weaknesses.
Often we sympathize for those among us who have had trials and tribulations in their lifetime- It is rare we celebrate their triumph, survival, and growth.
This is the tribute all survivors need, that reminder that their recognized on the courageous acts, and growth as not just another person, but an individual.
What is your idea on strength?
Muscles? Self defense?… Physical strength.
What about the inner strength that many of us conceal?
We choose what we want to see, and shield ourselves from any outside knowledge on how our own peers feel.
Frequently we block out our peers and think they live a life of perfection just because they have perfected a counterfeit smile.
