Closing Remarks by Mrs. Bush at the Coming Up Taller Awards
As Delivered

Thanks to the dancers from the National Dance Institute and to the singers from the Center of Creative Arts for your colorful performances. Congratulations to the recipients of this year's Coming Up Taller Awards for the difference you are making in your communities and in the world.

I understand that Jose Herrera's favorite play is Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. And his favorite line is, "If music be the food of love, play on." Today, I encourage all of you to act, sing, and dance on to fulfill your dreams. Thank you for being here and please join us in the State Dining Room.
