I Choose to be Happy: Triumphing over Tragedy [Video]
No full textMissy Jenkins Smith of Paducah, Kentucky, is the author of the compelling memoir, I Choose to Be Happy: A School Shooting Survivor’s Story of Triumph over Tragedy, and a noted speaker about recovery, healing, forgiveness, and above all thriving in life in spite of whatever challenges might be put in one’s way. Smith was one of eight students in a prayer group randomly shot by 14-year-old Michael Carneal on Dec. 1, 1997, in the lobby of Heath High School in Paducah, Kentucky. Three girls were killed. Missy, a 15-year-old sophomore at the time, was paralyzed from the chest down. But Missy didn\u27t see her disability as an end. Just hours after the tragedy, she forgave Carneal and took back her life. Over the subsequent 15 years, harboring no malice but instead focusing on her physical and mental rehabilitation, Missy would go on to graduate from Heath, earn a bachelor\u27s degree in social work from Murray State University, become a counselor for troubled youth at a day treatment center, get married and give birth to two healthy sons. Missy, now in her 30’s, has received numerous honors over the years for sharing her story of her determination and courage, and for her work on behalf of anti-violence, including being named “Kentuckian of the Year” and one of Ladies\u27 Home Journal\u27s “Most Fascinating Women.” She has appeared on TV shows such as “Oprah,” “Good Morning America,” “Dateline,” and “Anderson Cooper 360,” and appeared on stage as Al Gore’s guest at the 2000 Democratic National Convention. In addition, she was honored by former U.S. Attorney Janet Reno as “a leader in encouraging youth involvement in crime prevention.”

There is a lot in this collection about the Sibol classics -- Sa Kaharian ng Araw, Adarna, and of course, Sinta! -- and reading first-hand accounts of how some of these and other plays came to be written is a special treat. But Sibol has never been just about the stage performances or the songs, beautiful as they all are.

Get PDFFrom digital rights management to retail costs, controversy has always accompanied ebooks— although it hasn’t even been a decade since Amazon first released the Kindle. This discussion, however, explores another question: How have e-books affected author payments?
