She is a consistent scorer,

responds to her team- -
mates, and makes the
hard shots. In soccer her
ability to move with the
ball and understanding
the flow of the game
have made her a major
piece in the Outlaws9

attac As her coach, I
find Michaela remark-
able in every way on
and off the field. I am
incredibly proud of the woman she
has become, her work ethic and her
wonderful sense of humor. She is

says. <Skyler understands what it
means to be a great teammate and
facilitate learning through sport. His
positive attitude and commitment to
those on the Project Unify team is
exceptional. Skyler9s actions and his
friendships touch those around him
on the team daily. He understands
the importance of the program and it
has made a difference in his life and
the lives of the athletes he has cho-
sen to serve. Skyler embodies what
makes Project Unify so powerful.
He understands no matter our differ-
ences, we are stronger together.=
<100 Tricks Every Boy
Can Do: How My Brother

community centers, and in

Although he has published
books and taught in hundreds
of classrooms, Stafford says,
<It9s really about one page
at a time, and one fellow
writer at a time, in the mystic
encounter of the deep mys-
tery of our existence with the
trick of beginning.=
<On my tombstone,= he
has told his wife, <you might
inscribe, 8He was easily
pleased by a few words.9=
