August 2005
Anthony just returned from a week at Deaf Camp in the Big Bear Mountains. Although Anthony isn't Deaf himself, he is learning American Sign Language quickly. Anthony is able to communicate not only with his brothers who are Deaf, but also many of the SUCCESS Day Program staff and participants who are Deaf. Anthony is also called upon to be the interpreter at the Discovery Science Center when a group of Deaf or hearing impaired children arrive for a tour. Anthony has already been invited back to Deaf Camp next summer to be a counselor. We are really proud of Anthony's efforts to learn and use American Sign Language, perhaps one day he will be skilled enough to be an official interpreter.

   

 

 

   

 

June 2005
Anthony has been keeping busy since graduating from Edison High School last year. Anthony takes classes at Coastline Community College, works part time, and provides volunteer service throughout our community. Anthony is a member of the SUCCESS Day Program and is actively involved with their community volunteer program. Anthony is known as a hard worker and enjoys participating in the variety of volunteer opportunities available.

Anthony has volunteered many hours delivering Meals-On-Wheels to local senior citizens; rehabilitating injured or abandoned baby possums and raccoons; raising goats at the Westminster High School farm; and sorting food at the Orange County Food Bank among other important activities. In addition to volunteering during the week, Anthony continues to work at the Discovery Science Center on the weekends. We are proud of Anthony and all of his good work in the community.

In his free time Anthony continues to pursue his interest in acting. He takes adult acting classes at South Coast Repertory Theater and in a participant with the MYART  Theater group. Anthony would like to get some bigger roles on television and in the movies and with all of his hard work and dedication this dream may very likely come true!

 

Enchantment Under the Sea Anthony Silcock & Dave Nachmanoff May 31, 2005 Click here to listen to a rough version of this song At camp last summer There in the gym My heart was pounding It was sink or swim I was afraid To take a risk But if I didn’t What would I miss? Chorus: At the Enchantment Under the Sea Someone enchanted me At the Enchantment Under the Sea I found myself Out on the floor She gave a look that I could Not ignore And then we danced Round and round Lost in the music Lost in the sound (repeat Chorus) Bridge: I said that is my first dance, don’t you know? I said “I’m sorry I ran over your toe” Talked through the evening That was all it took I felt I knew her Slightly like a book All my fear Had been replaced I was dancing with a Smile on my face (Repeat Chorus)

Anthony (20) had a great summer 2004.  He booked several acting jobs in film and television shows.  In his free time, Anthony spent a lot of time at the hospital visiting his brother and roommate, Barry.  Anthony's visits were definitely the bright spot of Barry's day.  Anthony saw Barry on a regular basis. Also during the weekdays Anthony resumed his behind-the-wheel driving training.  While he continues to be nervous, Anthony is making steady progress toward getting his drivers license.  In the evenings, Anthony can still be found working out at the gym at least several times a week. Finally, besides working part-time at the Discovery Science Center, this summer Anthony took acting classes with the South Coast Repertory Theater.  Anthony enjoyed these classes and plans to re-enroll in September.   Anthony is also looking forward to enrolling in classes at Coastline Community College.  August 2004

JULY 2004:  Anthony graduated from Edison High School in June. Anthony had an excellent time participating in all of the senior activities.  Since his graduation Anthony has continued to work at the Discovery Science Museum.  Anthony is also exploring options for volunteer work.  Anthony has a real talent for working with young children so we are hopeful that he will find a fulfilling volunteer position at a preschool or childcare facility.   

Recently Anthony passed the written portion of his drivers test.  He is excited about completing the behind-the-wheel portion of the driving test so that he can finally get his drivers license.  A donor purchased driving hand controls for Anthony and now we are looking for a van with a lift to accommodate his wheelchair.

Anthony continues to be involved with community theater as well as acting on television and in movies.   Anthony has also developed an interest in filmmaking and may take a class at Orange Coast College to hone his skills.  

 Recently Anthony had a part on the television shows "That's so Raven," “Malcolm in the Middle" and "The Princess Diaries II.” 

As you can imagine, we are very proud of Anthony’s accomplishments.
