As part of the rotation experience to the island of Dominica, Dr. Abrons has asked a couple of students to provide inspirational quotes which we would draw on the walls at the House of Hope. Hassan as greatly shared one quote shown below by President Roosevelt in his post, The Challenge of Hope. One quote I have found which has been a personal favorite of mine is a poem by Helen Steiner Rice, entitled "There's Sunshine in a Smile".
“Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain, laughter and pleasure, tear-drops and pain; All days can’t be bright, but it’s certainly true, there was never a cloud the sun didn’t shine through. So just keep on smiling whatever betide you secure in the knowledge God is always beside you. And you’ll find when you smile your day will be brighter and all your burdens will seem so much lighter. For each time you smile you will find it is true somebody, somewhere will smile back at you and nothing on earth can make life more worthwhile than the sunshine and warmth of a beautiful smile”
I have always been touched by the message from this quote, and I believe its place in the House of Hope will be truly amazing. I am looking forward to displaying this with the help of my fellow colleagues.
