Bethune was not a wealthy woman , but she made a tremendous impact in this country , especially this greater Daytona Beach community . The passion to make a positive difference ; making a community a better place is the example that has been left for us to follow .
From my viewpoint , we , all of us , must learn to love . Love ourselves and love others , all others . All people deserve an opportunity to be educated , and all people should be afforded healthcare . If people learn to love , are educated and are in good health , the sky ’ s the limit .
I leave you with a portion of a letter that Mary McLeod
Dr . Michelle V . Carter , Executive Director of Vince Carter ’ s Embassy of Hope Foundation and Chief Executive Officer of Visions in Flight , Inc ., holds an honorary doctorate of Business Administration ( DBA ) from Bethune-Cookman University , a Master of Science in Administration and Supervision from Nova University , and a Bachelor of Science in Business Education from Bethune-Cookman University .
Bethune penned ( October 13 , 1952 ) to a student , Suzzanne Rose Lovett , as she sought advice from Dr . Bethune on compiling her educational scrapbook :
Lord , keep me working , keep me fit At windows I do not want to sit Watching my fellows hurrying by Let me stay busy ‘ till I die .
Grant me strength and breath and will Some useful niche in life to fill ; A need to serve , a task to do , Let me each morning arise anew Eager and glad that I can bear My portion of the morning ’ s care .
Lord , I do not want to sit about Broken and worn and all tired out , Afraid of rain and wind and cold , Let me stay busy when I am old . Although I walk at a slower pace , Still let me meet life , face to face .
This is my prayer , as time goes by , Lord , keep me busy till I die .
