Presentation for Resilience Cafe Night

Hello everybody! I am Cherish Burtson and today I will be showing you a song that Sally Robertson and I created about a very resilient woman, Melanie Benn. Melanie Benn is a woman who was diagnosed with a rare disease at the age of 18 that left her without any arms or legs. She learned how to overcome this, and is now a normal woman who can do almost everything normal people can do. Our resilient historical figure is Helen Keller. The connection between Helen Keller and Melanie Benn is that they are both disabled. Helen Keller can't see or hear, and Melanie Benn has no legs or arms. And yet both of them live through it and overcome their weaknesses.
