For this we had to create a artwork song or poem about the resilient people and for art we had to post the artis state ment so hers is mine:
This was created for the Resilience Café of 2008 in Ms. Staff’s class. This piece of artwork is representing that Resilience can overcome sadness and a little more like from the stories of My dad Bryan, and Andrew Young, they both lost a friend and they were able to move on from it, my Dad loosing his friend Garland and Andrew loosing his friend Martin Luther King Jr. It shows the power or resilience well like the font of Resilience being lowercase and Sadness being Uppercase its also showing you only have to be a little resilience to over come a lot of sadness, and The cracks in the ground show that resilience can over come sadness and even more, and though, even though you can feel sad for a little bit you can rise up and be resilient about it. Because if you are you will be able to live the best experience and cracks in the ground are cracks in solid rocks so it shows a lot of power within resilience with that, and for a long time you can’t live the best life you can so to experience the best you can you have to be resilient as this shows like my Dad Bryan and Andrew Young.

Resilience Essay
We had to write an essay on a person that was resilient from the present and the past then connect them. this is my Essay:
Resilience Essay
Have you ever lost someone or something close and dear to you? Because every one has it may not have been a life or some one dear but it has been something that they held dear and close to them even if they weren’t held close for very long. These people have and here are their stories. The story of my Dad, Bryan Murray and a Civil rights movement member, Andrew Young. My dad lost his friend Garland and Andrew Young losing his friend the man himself Martin Luther King Jr.
My dad Bryan is a resilient person because he was once at the beach celebrating and they were all out far in the sea in the deep water. Every one decided to head back to the shore but 3, my Dad Bryan his friend Grant and Garland. Went out further and eventually got stuck in a riptide. They decided it was too strong to swim against and they tried to float towards a jetty. Then the riptide got worse and they got split apart from each other and then they were being sucked farther apart from the shore. They were sucked down and got spread further apart from each other. This is when he lost his friend Garland. My dad was able to get onto the jetty but he knew Garland wasn’t a very strong swimmer like him and Grant. For a while he felt guilty because he was feeling selfish for not trying to help Garland in a way to jump onto the jetty and not help Garland. But eventually he got over it and was able to become a functioning person in the world again.
Andrew Young was born march 12 1932. He is a member of the civil rights movement and a congressman and once a mayor of Atlanta, Georgia. After doing Collage at Dillard University and went to Harvard in 1947. Also while in Marion, Young began to study the writings of Mohandas Gandhi. Young became interested in Gandhi's concept of non-violent resistance as a tactic for social change. He encouraged African-Americans to register to vote in Alabama, and sometimes faced death threats while doing so. Also be became a friend of Martin Luther King Jr. while doing this and He was there when Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated and was probably very sad like a lot of people in the US and was once of the people that was close to him, he was resilient like my dad because he recovered from his death and still went of to have a life that helped pave the path to freedom.
They are related in a way to each other and me because they both have lost a friend that was close to them, and I may not have lost anyone in my family yet but everyone has lost some one or something that was close to them. As I stated in the beginning
The legacy they leave behind is that you can get over a loss, sure u can be sad for a little bit. But you can’t be sad for the rest of your life or you wont have the best experience you can have. If you are sad for the rest of your life then you cant function in the world the best you can.
