PROGRAM NOTE
Resilience is a mindset born in the hardest days, when you're scared or sad or tired, when progress toward your goal is slow, and the barriers seem impenetrable... and yet you keep going, because somewhere deep down you know that what you're fighting for will be so much better. As a three-time cancer survivor, I continue to learn about resilience. -Abbie

RESILIENCE (Parts 1 & 2) Resilience, we are strong; Shoulder to shoulder keep movin' on, Resilience, make a new plan; Stand up again and say yes we can. (Part 3) Oh! Oh! We are strong; Hold on! I wanna make it and I know we will, Yes, it's hard to keep goin' but it's worse to stand still. (all parts) Resilience. |
