Harry Bertola created the self rating chart, below, at age 15 as he struggled to assimilate in an American school after emigrating from Italy. I found it very touching.
Whether it's the agenda for your next meeting (I love to check the items off as they are finished), a wedding program, or the Ten Commandments, you may never look at your lists the same after visiting this exhibit.

I love lists--what fun! That first one really drives home how much goes into every little thing we do in a day.
Wow, 15 year old Harry had lovely handwriting!
haha, I know! But he doesn't have much of that modern-day inflated self esteem like many post-Dr. Spock kids have.
What an interesting exhibit--how many steps to do just one thing when it is really broken down.
I wish I lived in New York so I could see this.
I think Harry's list is wonderful. I think it is one that each of us could use. And such gorgeous script!
This is SOOO neat!
Teri, I love these! I feel a great compulsion to notify you that I'll likely be copying and pasting for later disemination to my dad and various email friends, crediting you, my NooYawker friend, of course. :-))) xoxo
This exhibition sounds great1 I love these lists, especially the top one...might have to 'borrow' that idea for a journal page one day! Thanks for sharing!
