About This Video

The most difficult part of filming "Power of a Dream" was getting the gymnast to make a mistake. The actor is a real gymnast, at the International Elite level, and has been trained all her life not to make mistakes. Falling off the beam was a real challenge to her! Yet she did very well. This spot also has an extra layer of meaning for those who know ESL (English Sign Language), which the hearing impaired gymnast and her coach are using to speak to each other.

0	Suzanne Dalesandro 3 months ago from South Carolina I use many of these TV Spots from Values.com as part of the Character Education Program at my elementary school. The students enjoy them and they "get" the message.
1	Mario Chavez 3 months ago from Chamberino, New Mexico First of all, I want to say, "Thank You" to every individual who played a role in the creation and delivery of the Pass-it-on conmmercials, for they are educational, beautiful,powerful,and inspirational. I can only imagine how much happier, enjoyable, compassionate, caring, understanding and peaceful our existance in this world would be,` if only we would listen to our hearts. To able to never lose the faith and to always keep hope alive. To have the wisdom to elect to do the right things and to ignite every thought and action with good intentions. To have the valor to be the best that we can be and to have the passion and the compassion to love God,to love nature,to love ourselves and to love one another. I am a fifth grade teacher and along with my goal of preparing my students to achieve academic success, my aim is also to help them understand how very special, unique and valuable they are. My hope is that they feel confident to know that they have all the tools necessary to do and to become what ever it is that they feel in their heart and in turn to enjoy the gratfying feeling brought by the blessings of having lived a fruitful life. I believe that introducing my students (with prior approval from parents and administration)to your inspirational videos, will help me help my students. Thank you again, and if I may be of assistance to you, I will be glad contribute. Mario Chavez
