YMCA MAYORS AND COHH~SSIONERS YOUTH AWARD MARY WHITE I would lik e to nominate Mar y White for the Metropoli tan Mayors and Commi s sioners Youth Award. Mary has served as the You th Comm issioner on the Englewood Parks and Recreat ion Commis sion for two years. Her voice on the Co mmiss ion represented the young pe opl e of the co1M1unity in the development of an off-street s kateboard park and the expansion of recreatio n activities for young adults at t he Englewood Recreation Center. Mary has had a strong sense of personal commi ttment to her church for many years. She has been actively involved in the church youth group by her attendance at such activities as: Food Share Distribution, visits to a coffee house that serves developmentally delayed teens, visits to nursing homes, working on food serving lines at a shelter for the homeless. Mary is sharing her mu s ical talents by her involvement in the music ministry at her church . Sh e plays for Mass every Sunday ar.:i her p1 ·esence is a pleasant addition to the worship service. In addition, Mary teaches religious education classes at church. She has twenty- seven third and fourth grads students this yeP.r. She touches the lives of these youngsters on a weekly basis . They love and respect her as a young adult in their church family. In asking Mary how she might· have demonstrated additional iniative and commitment, she told me about her experience getting a job one summer. It appears she wanted a job desperately but being only fourteen excluded her from most opportunities. She took it upon herself to start her own business of house, plant and pet sitting for p0ople who were going on vacation. She surveyed the area for p r ice ranges , developed a scale of prices for her services, designed an advertising brochure on the computer, h ad the brochure printed and then canvassed the neighborhood handing them out. She interviewed perspective customers, accepted the jobs, did the work, generated statements for payment purposes, and collected her money. She had a very busy summer with many satis fied c ustomers! Mary has not been without cha l lenges in her life. She has had to overcome the loss of her older brother and has a c cepted the adoption o f her younger bo r the r . She has had to go through testing and hospital prepara tions to be a donor f or a bo ne marrow transpl an t. She has also had to be interviewed by social workers a nd ask e d why she wou ld want to have a new ba by at her house. She handled all of this with a generous sens :'.tivity and a great deal of maturity . e M!\R!I WHITE Mary had prepared a list of activities and awards on the attached resume. Please accept this list ss an indication of the t ype o f dedication and commitment she has to her school and her comm unity. When you meet Mary White, you will most certainly be struck by he r smile . She seems to glow when she is around peo ple. She is a dependable participant in a group and one you can count on t o res pend with hone s tly and directness. I asked her mother to share a few thoughts with me about Mary for this nomination. I would l ike to include those here. "Mary is a great kid! Every family should have a daughter and a sister like Mary . She is giving of herself. She is kind and patient with her younger brother, and she's growing and developing into a strong, independent adult who will continue to make contr.ibutions to her family and her community." I would c e rtainly echo these words. Mary is most deserving of your award and a model for others her age to look up to. r Iar v 'Nhltc :9,, w. T an ror an Dr .
