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

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.
