Slide 1: 

“Harmony in America” 4-8-2010

Slide 2: 

My name is Harmony. I am 28 years old.

Slide 3: 

I grew up in Ohio for 19 years with my parents and 3 brothers.

Slide 4: 

In January 2001 I joined the United States Military and was stationed in Hawaii. In July 2004 I was honorably discharged.

Slide 5: 

I have 2 children….ages 4 & 2…… Last year, the State of Hawaii took them from me because I was homeless and had no support from my family…..or their fathers……

Slide 6: 

In October 2009 I moved to Lincoln City, Oregon…. ….to “heal”….

Slide 7: 

In December 2009, my older brother, Peter, died on a Florida sidewalk from a drug overdose. He was 30 years old. I miss him.

Slide 8: 

Everyday I eat too much, play video games, browse the web……. and cry. In the past 6 months I have gained 65 pounds. I’m unemployed, overweight and depressed. I hate everything about myself.

Slide 9: 

I have lost my children, my brother, my faith…and my purpose. My life has no meaning. Something has to change.

Slide 10: 

Last week, while looking for a job online, I found a website. It described an upcoming Oregon State Police test for the Highway Patrol. It is the same Physical Fitness test that I had to pass every month when I was in the military.

Slide 11: 

I have to pull out of this depression somehow……. I need a purpose in this life……. I need a reason to live…… My body is alive…….. …..but my soul is dying..….

Slide 12: 

But, I can’t let this thing get to me……. I can’t let my depression overcome me…….. I have to conquer it somehow……..

Slide 13: 

That’s what Angel & Benjamin…. and Peter… would have wanted…

Slide 14: 

So here goes…… wish me luck. --Harmony
