Harris Rosen visits children at<br />

Tangelo Park Elementary School<br />

A SOUTHWEST ORLANDO<br />

ICON REFLECTS ON<br />

25 YEARS OF GIVING BACK 407.996.4890 | RosenHotels.com<br />

If home is where the heart is, then Harris Rosen’s home is global and his<br />

heart infinite. As a sea of homemade “We Love Harris Rosen” banners<br />

bobbed among crowds of eager Haitian children, clad in pristine blue and<br />

white school uniforms to thank the man who provided their brand new<br />

school, the recipient of the outpouring was overwhelmed. “I never get<br />

used to this type of attention,” said Harris Rosen, founder and owner of<br />

Rosen Hotels & Resorts. Rosen was recently in Haiti for the dedication of<br />

l’Institution Mixte Saint-Jean de Jonc l’Abeille-Harris Rosen school. And<br />

to greet many families who now – thanks to him – experience a rare sense<br />

of security in the impoverished country. Rosen’s team just completed<br />

the rebuilding of more than 100 homes devastated by 2016’s Hurricane<br />

Matthew. The new homes are hurricane- and earthquake-resistant with<br />

solar panels, bathrooms and more.<br />

For more than half of the 43 years Rosen’s now nine hotels have provided<br />

Orlando’s best “home away from home” and thousands of jobs for Orlando<br />

residents, he has been quietly, with intensity, creating better homes for<br />

others. He says he does this because “it’s the right thing to do.” Whether<br />

rebuilding physical structures such as in Haiti or entire communities such<br />

as in Southwest Orlando’s Tangelo Park, his first philanthropic endeavor<br />

25 years ago, or more currently in downtown Orlando’s Parramore district,<br />

the positive change is palpable. By providing free college scholarships<br />

(including room and board), free childcare (which also provides more<br />

than 10 full-time jobs) and parental support to Tangelo Park, high school<br />

graduation rates have soared to almost 100 percent and crime is nearly<br />

non-existent. All of this and more, because the community has united<br />

under Harris Rosen’s umbrella of hope and promise of a better life for its<br />

future generations.<br />

In Southwest Orlando, where Rosen has called home for more than 45<br />

years and raised his family including his now-adult children Jack, Joshua,<br />

Adam and Shayna, he has focused on families through building The Jack<br />

& Lee Rosen SW Orlando JCC and donating millions to refurbish the ailing<br />

YMCA Aquatic Center. He also funded the Rosen College of Hospitality<br />

Management at UCF and sponsors more than 20 charity galas at his<br />

hotels. “I’ve been blessed beyond my wildest dreams with my business,”<br />

said Rosen, “and most importantly with the fellowship and support of my<br />

own community. It is because of these blessings, I’m able to help others.<br />

And am so grateful to do so.”

What do you want to be when you<br />

grow up? It’s a question children are<br />

almost routinely asked as they go<br />

through school. The lofty answers are<br />

typically far off into the future — fireman,<br />

police officer, astronaut, writer.<br />

Very rarely can a young person hope<br />

to achieve such titles before graduating<br />

high school. One young woman<br />

is the exception. Emma Neary,<br />

a sophomore at Windermere<br />

Preparatory School, began writing<br />

her novel, Broken Dreams: A<br />

Modern Twist of the Classic Cinderella<br />

Story, at the age of 14 when she was<br />

a freshman. She became a published<br />

author at age 15.<br />

Almost every child has heard the<br />

story of Cinderella. The fairy godmother,<br />

evil stepmother and stepsisters,<br />

prince, the pumpkin and mice<br />

— it is the ultimate fairy tale of rising<br />

from misfortune to find dreams come<br />

true. Emma looked beyond the classic<br />

tale to envision a new plot for its<br />

characters. Much like characters that<br />

often find unexpected obstacles in<br />

their stories, Emma's journey was not<br />

an easy one.<br />

High School Sophomore Publishes Novel<br />

Neary turns a life-changing event into her first novel.<br />

young age. Her future changed in<br />

December 2014, when she was diagnosed<br />

with hypertrophic obstructive<br />

cardiomyopathy, a condition in<br />

which the heart muscle becomes abnormally<br />

thick, which also caused a<br />

heart murmur. The young girl, who<br />

was actively involved in dance, the<br />

performing arts and sports, was suddenly<br />

being told not to do anything<br />

that could risk affecting her heart.<br />

“It turned my world upside down,<br />

because I didn’t know what else<br />

to do with my life,” Emma said.<br />

“When you have this condition, you<br />

aren’t supposed to do any strenuous<br />

activity.”<br />

She needed to find another way<br />

to channel her artistic creativity.<br />

Emma’s theater involvement became<br />

very limited, but she found that she<br />

could still express what she loved<br />

about theater in other ways. One of<br />

her favorite aspects of acting was<br />

the ability to become different characters.<br />

She found a way to continue<br />

exploring other viewpoints through<br />

writing.<br />

The idea for the novel came after a<br />

play rehearsal while Emma and her<br />

father, Kevin Neary, were driving<br />

to their Celebration home. She<br />

was thinking, How many Cinderella<br />

stories have been done before?<br />

She began to envision a futuristic<br />

Cinderella story, in which the characters<br />

had to handle modern issues<br />

like technology and bullying.<br />

She built a story outline in her free<br />

time, and when the book was finished,<br />

sent it to a publisher without<br />

telling anyone, even her parents. The<br />

publisher initially rejected the book;<br />

however, in July 2017, he decided<br />

to give it another chance. It was<br />

released to the public Jan. 5, 2018.<br />

“I’ve heard from a lot of people<br />

who bought the book and read it<br />

— they find it very interesting,” she<br />

said.<br />

The positive feedback has helped<br />

fuel Emma into continuing to expand<br />

her writing talents.<br />

“I’ve branched out to other categories<br />

of writing,” she said. “I’ve<br />

become very interested in playwriting<br />

and screenwriting, as well as<br />

inspirational stories, true stories and<br />

historical fiction. I’ve had a few stories<br />

in the pipeline that are finished.<br />

Hopefully, they will be published<br />

soon and released.”<br />

Emma credits her teachers and<br />

classmates at WPS for their support.<br />

From the very beginning,<br />

teachers were willing to help with<br />

grammar and context. Friends read<br />

the book and gave Emma insight<br />

and thoughts, especially about the<br />

characters. Their input allowed<br />

Emma to open up her characters’<br />

world to include more dynamic<br />

characters to propel the story.<br />

After the book’s release, school officials<br />

advertised it in the library,<br />

making sure every student has the<br />

opportunity to read it. Emma especially<br />

credits her mother in aiding<br />

her success.<br />

“I thank my mom [Susan Neary]<br />

for the inspiration and how she has<br />

helped and supported me through<br />

this entire process,” Emma said.<br />

For her peers, Emma has this<br />

message: “No matter what you<br />

think is in your way, don’t let it stop<br />

you. Don’t let anything stop you<br />

from being what you want to be.<br />

You’re the author of your own story.<br />

We’re all capable of success if<br />

we let ourselves have it.” ª


Educators agree exposing children<br />

to the arts early in life benefits<br />

their creativity and grasp of subject<br />

matter as they grow. One of the<br />

cornerstones of Orlando’s cultural<br />

corridor, bordered by Mills Avenue<br />

and Princeton Street, is as far as<br />

one needs to look for performing<br />

arts to spark a child’s imagination.<br />

Orlando Repertory Theatre,<br />

aka Orlando REP, has a mission<br />

“to create experiences that<br />

enlighten, entertain and enrich the<br />

lives of family and young audiences.”<br />

Now in its 15th season, it<br />

strives to offer the finest in family<br />

entertainment.<br />

Artistic Director Jeffrey Revels<br />

believes Orlando REP has an<br />

even bigger commitment to the<br />

community.<br />

“We know that young people<br />

today are not immune to the world<br />

around them, so we bear some<br />

responsibility in addressing that<br />

world,” he said. “Theater is an<br />

extremely powerful tool for sharing<br />

perspectives and cultivating<br />

empathy.”<br />

BUSINESS<br />

Orlando REP’s 2017-18 season<br />

runs from September through May<br />

and features six professional productions,<br />

Youth Academy performances<br />

and limited engagement<br />

performances.<br />

The First Academy students from<br />

ceramics III, IV and AP performed<br />

the annual raku firing process on<br />

campus. Those from ceramics II and<br />

middle school ceramics joined during<br />

their class periods throughout the day<br />

to watch. Raku is a pottery technique<br />

originating in 16th century Japan.<br />

Rather than loading glazed pottery<br />

into electric kilns to cure up to 2,000<br />

degrees for 24 hours, the raku process<br />

uses a 30-minute firing process.<br />

Similar to pottery firing techniques in<br />

Biblical times using large underground<br />

wood-fed pit fires, propane gas was<br />

used to bring the pottery to near<br />

1,700 degrees quickly. The day also<br />

consisted of grilling burgers and roasting<br />

s’mores for the students.<br />
