Hello.... Perhaps you saw this video on Facebook.  The video also exists on Youtube.   Here is the link.   Spread it.

Adrienne Arsht, the person who sponsored part of the performing arts center in Miami, supported this video.  

I like the quote that appears at the front of the video.

I hear students say that "I can't do that."  I sometimes wonder if they do not understand the power of saying, "I can do that, but I choose not to do it."   or "I can do that, but I just don't want to.  I would rather watch a video game."  At least be honest with yourself.
