A Big Little Ending

By Barbara Boretsky | MP Blog | 0 comment | 6 March, 2017 | 0

Over the past month, we’ve been honored to share with you the stories of our families, staff and HIPsters in our #BigLittleVictories campaign. These have been stories of triumph, growth, overcoming the odds and (most importantly) discovering hidden potential. Going forward, we plan to continue sharing stories with you periodically- but in the meantime, weRead more

A Career in Cooking: Justin’s Story

By Barbara Boretsky | MP Blog | 1 comment | 3 March, 2017 | 0

Still damp from a quick rinse, a batch of brown russet potatoes lay sprawled out on a wooden cutting board. Ready for tomorrow’s menu, they’ve been washed, peeled, and prepped. Nearby, a fry cutter, its aluminum surface reflecting the light from above, sits, eager to be put to use. Approaching the table, a young manRead more

The Evolution of Special Education: Scott’s Story

By Barbara Boretsky | Media | 0 comment | 27 February, 2017 | 1

As his right hand reached out to grasp the silver door handle, Scott glanced at the digits on the screen of his phone and drew a deep breath. Released from a lengthy meeting, he was 10 minutes late. He wondered what his students might be up to as they waited for him to begin class.Read more

Finding Sugarsang: Reyna and Sang’s Story

By Barbara Boretsky | MP Blog | 0 comment | 24 February, 2017 | 0

    “Thud. Thud. SMACK!” “Thud. Thud. THWACK!” The rhythmic sound of sharp jabs and quick crosses fills the air, as the pair of black boxing gloves repeatedly strike their target. For the briefest of moments, silence fills the gym… “Thud. Thud. SMACK!” For Sang, a special needs adult and HIPster (Hugely Important Person) atRead more

A Lesson in Art: Casey’s Story

By Barbara Boretsky | MP Blog | 0 comment | 17 February, 2017 | 2

In the visual arts room at My Possibilities, a new masterpiece, fresh off a wooden easel, lays out to dry on a nearby table. Merely a blank white canvas just hours ago, the painting now springs to life with vibrant color – a maze of sapphire and electric blue punctuated by streaks of crimson andRead more

Painting with Purpose: Abby’s Story

By Barbara Boretsky | MP Blog | 0 comment | 13 February, 2017 | 1

    In a quiet corner of a busy room, a young girl in a pink smock pauses to clean her brush. Before her stands a large canvas covered in bright oranges, greens and pinks. It’s a river scene, and the latest creation of Abby, My Possibilities Artist-in-Residence. Abby first came to My Possibilities severalRead more

Shining Through Sports: Matt’s Story

By Barbara Boretsky | MP Blog | 0 comment | 10 February, 2017 | 4

MP Fitness Instructor Jessie Poku isn’t a “sideline” kind of coach. Instead, he likes to move back and forth across the court as he speaks, moving his arms in unison, while the team before him listens intently. One young man, tall and lanky, stands heads above the other HIPsters. As he listens to Jessie, heRead more

Recklessly Bold: Leslie’s Story

By Barbara Boretsky | MP Blog | 0 comment | 6 February, 2017 | 10

Light pours through the window in rays and patches – illuminating rainbow-splattered palates and mason jars filled with soaking paintbrushes. It’s the afternoon session at My Possibilities and art class is in full swing. Sitting at her small black chair, Leslie surveys the multitude of canvases stacked before her. Brush in hand she’s working onRead more

Cooking with Heart: Nicky’s Story

By Barbara Boretsky | MP Blog | 1 comment | 3 February, 2017 | 3

Nicky concentrates on the task at hand, examining each bell pepper carefully before placing it on the cutting board. It’s passed her rigorous inspection and will be included in the vegetables prepped for today. “She’s very meticulous,” says Culinary Coordinator, Diana, “the amount of pride and detail that goes into it- she will actually tell youRead more

A Big Little Beginning

By Barbara Boretsky | MP Blog | 0 comment | 1 February, 2017 | 1

Victories come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they’re big (like a new job) or small (like not spilling your morning coffee). We celebrate with friends, put them on the fridge and put them on our resumes. Victories are the spice of life. For our HIPsters and their families, that’s no different. Over the courseRead more
