“If you can’t fly, then run; if you can’t run, then walk; if you can’t walk, then crawl; but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.”-Martin Luther King, Jr.
“I’ve had this as my computer screensaver since my first day on the job. I say this to the kids we serve and the staff I oversee. Just keep moving forward, and get better every day.”
—David Dones, Director of Youth Services, Nuevas Alas/New Wings Program
