A2: Honors Speech

The Ann Arbor Schools Musings blog posts a speech given by Skyline High teacher Collin Ganio at an honors ceremony for students earlier this year. He described the famous “Me/We” extemporaneous poem by Muhammad Ali, then said: “I issue the same challenge to you – think less about Myspace and more about Ourspace. Use your agile minds and big hearts – ask the deep questions – in order to make this world better not just for yourselves, but for everyone around you. I mean, think about it – if everyone worked to better a community for their fellow citizens, then we might not spend a lot of time working to make our own lives better, but we might not need to, since everyone around us would be doing that for us.” [Source]
