My Possibilities

Floor Speech

Date: July 25, 2013
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Minors and Children

Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today I proudly recognize the fifth anniversary and expansion of My Possibilities, a nonprofit organization serving disabled young adults in north Texas.

My Possibilities began with the vision of three dedicated mothers of special needs children. These mothers dreamed of something more for their kids beyond a high school education. After 2 years of hard work, they created the first full-day, full-year continuing education program for disabled Texans. In fact, last week, they commemorated the grand opening of a new facility in Plano so even more Texans could become lifelong learners.

My Possibilities stands as a testament to the American spirit of freedom and free enterprise. Three moms took an idea to fill a need in our community and made it a reality. That's truly remarkable. The folks at My Possibilities live up to their motto: ``Make every moment count.''

To the staff, board of directors, and Chairman Charmaine Solomon, thank you for your tireless efforts and your dedication.
