Last Chance!

Class Pictures: Photographs by Dawoud Bey
ENDS THIS SUNDAY
at Milwaukee Art Museum

I’m glad my parents were always there to guide me
and help me think of the choices I was making.
I like to join a lot of activities, but once something
goes wrong, my first thought is to quit. When I tell
my parents what happened, they always push me to give
it another try and not quit. Without that extra push I
wouldn’t have been able to do many things, like play
basketball, volleyball, swim, or even play the piano.
