Student artist and peace activist :: August 2006

One of the purest expressions of the energy of the heart is through art.  Even at a young age, you convey the message of your heart through many media—as a writer, performer, and visual artist, and in many programs and events.  You are described as a “spokesperson for your generation” and are called curious, thoughtful, observant, sophisticated, and honest.  You are always growing, accumulating new skills, and taking risks.

Your bravery, honesty, and commitment are the qualities that Sullivan Ballou exemplified. We honor you today for your achievements, but we also learn from you.  You teach us that heart energy is what matters. We are inspired by your example.

Congratulations!
