Back Home to Speak About Painting With Purpose

In the past couple weeks I was fortunate enough to be able to travel back home Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. While home I ran into an old teacher of mine who asked what I had been up to. I told her all about Painting With Purpose and she invited me in to speak to the class. I was honored. I spoke to an 11th grade english class at Prince Andrew High School. I incorporated dominion, perserverance and temptation into my own story from when I was back in junior high and made my first visit into the special education classroom, to where I am now. It was great to be able to have the opportunity to give back to the community. Ms. Abbass was a source of stregth for me during high school. Doing the right thing is not always easy. Ms. Abbass always encouraged me to make the right decisions and gave me tough answers others would not. I only hope my words delivered such a positive message to the students I met.
