WHAT ABOUT PEACE?
Taylor Gerard
18 years old, Nebraska
What about peace ?
Peace is room 120 at the high school
Of Harry A. Burke.
The rock stars can be found in this
Miraculous of rooms. Teenagers
That have been ridiculed because of their disabilities
Find a home in this room.
What about peace ?
Peace is the support of the student body for
The rock stars.
Attendance is great
At their concerts and performances.
Volunteers from all through the school
Are always willing to lend a helping hand.
What about peace?
I met most of the rock stars today.
Mr. Palmer took my class to
Meet the rock stars. He told us how
He and the young ladies in
Wheelchairs will dance the day away.
What about peace ?
I have grown up with friends who
Have siblings with disabilities. To
Me, they aren’t disabled at all.
They have different talents,
Different opinions,
Different experiences,
Just like the rest of us.
What about peace ?
Peace is being able to except the fact
Everyone is different
Peace is loving people for
Who they are.
Peace is room 120 of Harry A. Burke High School.
