Harris Rosen visits children at
Tangelo Park Elementary School
A SOUTHWEST ORLANDO
ICON REFLECTS ON
25 YEARS OF GIVING BACK 407.996.4890 | RosenHotels.com
If home is where the heart is, then Harris Rosen’s home is global and his
heart infinite. As a sea of homemade “We Love Harris Rosen” banners
bobbed among crowds of eager Haitian children, clad in pristine blue and
white school uniforms to thank the man who provided their brand new
school, the recipient of the outpouring was overwhelmed. “I never get
used to this type of attention,” said Harris Rosen, founder and owner of
Rosen Hotels & Resorts. Rosen was recently in Haiti for the dedication of
l’Institution Mixte Saint-Jean de Jonc l’Abeille-Harris Rosen school. And
to greet many families who now – thanks to him – experience a rare sense
of security in the impoverished country. Rosen’s team just completed
the rebuilding of more than 100 homes devastated by 2016’s Hurricane
Matthew. The new homes are hurricane- and earthquake-resistant with
solar panels, bathrooms and more.
For more than half of the 43 years Rosen’s now nine hotels have provided
Orlando’s best “home away from home” and thousands of jobs for Orlando
residents, he has been quietly, with intensity, creating better homes for
others. He says he does this because “it’s the right thing to do.” Whether
rebuilding physical structures such as in Haiti or entire communities such
as in Southwest Orlando’s Tangelo Park, his first philanthropic endeavor
25 years ago, or more currently in downtown Orlando’s Parramore district,
the positive change is palpable. By providing free college scholarships
(including room and board), free childcare (which also provides more
than 10 full-time jobs) and parental support to Tangelo Park, high school
graduation rates have soared to almost 100 percent and crime is nearly
non-existent. All of this and more, because the community has united
under Harris Rosen’s umbrella of hope and promise of a better life for its
future generations.
In Southwest Orlando, where Rosen has called home for more than 45
years and raised his family including his now-adult children Jack, Joshua,
Adam and Shayna, he has focused on families through building The Jack
& Lee Rosen SW Orlando JCC and donating millions to refurbish the ailing
YMCA Aquatic Center. He also funded the Rosen College of Hospitality
Management at UCF and sponsors more than 20 charity galas at his
hotels. “I’ve been blessed beyond my wildest dreams with my business,”
said Rosen, “and most importantly with the fellowship and support of my
own community. It is because of these blessings, I’m able to help others.
And am so grateful to do so.”

What do you want to be when you
grow up? It’s a question children are
almost routinely asked as they go
through school. The lofty answers are
typically far off into the future — fireman,
police officer, astronaut, writer.
Very rarely can a young person hope
to achieve such titles before graduating
high school. One young woman
is the exception. Emma Neary,
a sophomore at Windermere
Preparatory School, began writing
her novel, Broken Dreams: A
Modern Twist of the Classic Cinderella
Story, at the age of 14 when she was
a freshman. She became a published
author at age 15.
Almost every child has heard the
story of Cinderella. The fairy godmother,
evil stepmother and stepsisters,
prince, the pumpkin and mice
— it is the ultimate fairy tale of rising
from misfortune to find dreams come
true. Emma looked beyond the classic
tale to envision a new plot for its
characters. Much like characters that
often find unexpected obstacles in
their stories, Emma's journey was not
an easy one.

Writing Her Story
High School Sophomore Publishes Novel

Celebration resident and Windermere Preparatory School sophomore Emma
Neary turns a life-changing event into her first novel.

young age. Her future changed in
December 2014, when she was diagnosed
with hypertrophic obstructive
cardiomyopathy, a condition in
which the heart muscle becomes abnormally
thick, which also caused a
heart murmur. The young girl, who
was actively involved in dance, the
performing arts and sports, was suddenly
being told not to do anything
that could risk affecting her heart.
“It turned my world upside down,
because I didn’t know what else
to do with my life,” Emma said.
“When you have this condition, you
aren’t supposed to do any strenuous
activity.”
She needed to find another way
to channel her artistic creativity.
Emma’s theater involvement became
very limited, but she found that she
could still express what she loved
about theater in other ways. One of
her favorite aspects of acting was
the ability to become different characters.
She found a way to continue
exploring other viewpoints through
writing.
The idea for the novel came after a
play rehearsal while Emma and her
father, Kevin Neary, were driving
to their Celebration home. She
was thinking, How many Cinderella
stories have been done before?
She began to envision a futuristic
Cinderella story, in which the characters
had to handle modern issues
like technology and bullying.
She built a story outline in her free
time, and when the book was finished,
sent it to a publisher without
telling anyone, even her parents. The
publisher initially rejected the book;
however, in July 2017, he decided
to give it another chance. It was
released to the public Jan. 5, 2018.
“I’ve heard from a lot of people
who bought the book and read it
— they find it very interesting,” she
said.
The positive feedback has helped
fuel Emma into continuing to expand
her writing talents.
“I’ve branched out to other categories
of writing,” she said. “I’ve
become very interested in playwriting
and screenwriting, as well as
inspirational stories, true stories and
historical fiction. I’ve had a few stories
in the pipeline that are finished.
Hopefully, they will be published
soon and released.”
Emma credits her teachers and
classmates at WPS for their support.
From the very beginning,
teachers were willing to help with
grammar and context. Friends read
the book and gave Emma insight
and thoughts, especially about the
characters. Their input allowed
Emma to open up her characters’
world to include more dynamic
characters to propel the story.
After the book’s release, school officials
advertised it in the library,
making sure every student has the
opportunity to read it. Emma especially
credits her mother in aiding
her success.
“I thank my mom [Susan Neary]
for the inspiration and how she has
helped and supported me through
this entire process,” Emma said.
For her peers, Emma has this
message: “No matter what you
think is in your way, don’t let it stop
you. Don’t let anything stop you
from being what you want to be.
You’re the author of your own story.
We’re all capable of success if
we let ourselves have it.” ª

Educators agree exposing children
to the arts early in life benefits
their creativity and grasp of subject
matter as they grow. One of the
cornerstones of Orlando’s cultural
corridor, bordered by Mills Avenue
and Princeton Street, is as far as
one needs to look for performing
arts to spark a child’s imagination.
Orlando Repertory Theatre,
aka Orlando REP, has a mission
“to create experiences that
enlighten, entertain and enrich the
lives of family and young audiences.”
Now in its 15th season, it
strives to offer the finest in family
entertainment.
Artistic Director Jeffrey Revels
believes Orlando REP has an
even bigger commitment to the
community.
“We know that young people
today are not immune to the world
around them, so we bear some
responsibility in addressing that
world,” he said. “Theater is an
extremely powerful tool for sharing
perspectives and cultivating
empathy.”
BUSINESS
Orlando REP’s 2017-18 season
runs from September through May
and features six professional productions,
Youth Academy performances
and limited engagement

Florida League officials announced
the schedule for the 15th
baseball season. Six teams will
compete throughout the summer in
five different Central Florida communities:
Deland, Leesburg, Sanford,
Winter Garden and Winter Park.
The season kicks off May 31, and
Winter Garden’s first game is June 1.
Each team is scheduled to play 45
regular season games, with either 22
or 23 of those games being played
at home. The All-Star Game, featuring
the top players in the league, will
take place July 7 in Sanford.
Before the summer showcase, fans
will enjoy the annual home run derby,
including eight of the top power
hitters in the league. Later in the
month, the top-25 prospects — as
voted by league coaches and staff
— will travel to North Carolina to
play against other summer league
prospect teams in front of dozens of
MLB scouts at the annual Southwest
Prospect Showcase. Last year,
Florida League went 2-0.

The First Academy students from
ceramics III, IV and AP performed
the annual raku firing process on
campus. Those from ceramics II and
middle school ceramics joined during
their class periods throughout the day
to watch. Raku is a pottery technique
originating in 16th century Japan.
Rather than loading glazed pottery
into electric kilns to cure up to 2,000
degrees for 24 hours, the raku process
uses a 30-minute firing process.
Similar to pottery firing techniques in
Biblical times using large underground
wood-fed pit fires, propane gas was
used to bring the pottery to near
1,700 degrees quickly. The day also
consisted of grilling burgers and roasting
s’mores for the students.
