back to what i was trying to figure out what i was trying to do with my life in the summertime people around the age of 14 and 20 your usually outside or getting into some bad things. so mayor ed lee what you're doing is not normal i want to say that because summer jobs are hard to find and some kids don't want to work they want to enjoy their summer but i know it says a lot about a child when they're able to put the fun aside and know that life is important and time didn't wait for no one i commend you that are looking for a job it's inspiring to me. another thing i think that the benefit of summer jobs allows

you to be in conducive settings and once again stay off the streets and out of trouble but that helps you with great habit one good habit my only job i worked at wendy i didn't see my and the person that hired me was my mom (clapping.) (laughter.) >> but my mom is not a push over he walked in there thinking it was going to be easy but she put me to work i didn't want to do that by (laughter) you know, i didn't want to do that but she was doing that and provided for yours everyday and she worked so hard to put her

heart towards providing for us i'm happy my mom provided for me and my brothers but some of the habits that i've learned while working at a job like that was punk i can't let, you know, attention, you know, kids those days attention is and punk light are two hard of things for children our age to a understand but it builds character and shows your boss what type of mindset you have and how far i want to succeed in life a few the others things the relationships you'll build in those jobs or fields it may open up another door down the road there's a lot of great things you know when you get a job it's

not just earning money you look at the bigger picture and try to get something more than money, money isn't everything i'm a believer in that i have a lot but it's not the only thing that makes me happy interest to your job employers just get to know those young men and women that are out there trying to get a job and what you're looking for maybe give them words of encourage for their next interview my hat goes off you overcame adversity good job ethically elizabeth. >> here's our time your moment

was outsourced to private enterprise but she get them up first and treated asia mascot of the firefighters and after her return in the 63 made an honoree of the engine company and rode along where the firefighters or which were in parade she tend to prove this relationship with firefighting throughout her life. she died in 1929 and left 1/3rd of the estate to 76 to be used for the purpose of adding to the beauty of the city the city adduced r use to see to build the tower on itself hill and it is the statute of 3 firefighters down in washington square so let's here it for this beautiful
