Artistic Accomplishments: Photography
The young photographers of the Healing Arts were challenged to take creative pictures of their friends even though they may not be identified. The photos below display their talents and give an amazing insight into the perspective of children in a residential center.

Artistic Accomplishments: Music
In 2003 local rap artist Cros of the group Konstant Output worked with these talented youth from San Antonio to compose and record their songs. The result was On the Loose – a CD collection of rap songs and poems. A sample from that collection is presented here.
"Memories" -
An Individual Poem by Christi
The Lyrics ....
Memories, memories
So many memories
What do I do
With all these memories
I hold inside
To remember them causes
So much pain
I shut them away
In the back of my brain
But that won't work
For pain leaks through
It's in my head
No wait my heart
Because that is where
These memories hide
Deep in my heart
They reside
I'll try to keep them
Out of my head
But nothing helps
So what do I do
With all these memories
I hold inside.
