increase the number next we'll hear from the star of the show now navaro is a big star but she's taken charge a opportunity of a couple of summers ago please welcome elizabeth kim (clapping.) good morning. i'm elizabeth will kim i'm currently a supervisors and 19 and geary in the richmond district i started out as a bar rest and now a supervisor. (clapping.) thank you. i'm currently a hospitality major at the san francisco state university. and i'd like have to say if it wasn't for the hiring event that

happened with match bridge about two years ago i wouldn't be focused on a career path and not talking to you. it all started actually, let's go back to stage one i grew up in a low income family in the bay area. growing up in a protecting family was not easy for me. since birth i had to if he said for myself i had the love from my mom but seeing my older sister helped to pay rent 16 i believed this was the kind of responsibility i would take on that shaped me. as soon as i was old enough to get a job i nailed my first

entrust at navy and was with them until my freshman year at san francisco state. i knew that was sort of the last chapter ending my youth and time to move on and acquired is job at the singapore airlines that started my interest in the joufrm industry but i was 18 and this type of work was not right so i ended that as well. i was jobless and definitely on my own in the big city at the 19 paying my own bills and rent it was definitely not easy to not rely on my parents i had to work in school so i applied to

numerous different places and not getting the feedback and wasn't sure what ivories doing wrong and not hearing back if the employers i was going through a transition in life growing up and facing reality it was a tough period struggling with money and issues with the family so after that my friend bree white posted an ad working with starbucks in 2012 and that they were hiring from numerous starbucks locations around the city so i applied through match bridge and was given a call back about two days after i headed down to the headquarter and had an interview. that experience of just thinking back on it was an amazing thing to reflect back on i got the job

at the hotel negro in downtown and match bridge worked with starbucks and me to shape around my school schedule maybe this location wasn't the right location being a student and juggling a job wasn't easy so i got a job near 19th and geary where i started at. and through that i i was a supervisor about a year and learning the different types of people and learning the community and service industry that's opened a gateway and it helped me to find my passion in helping others and learning about the industry and serving go others not only in my community but the customer service industry and

indefinitely opened my eyes to study hospitality and tourism if it wasn't for match bridge i wouldn't be studying the broadcast industry but i've found my passion in helping and serving other and through match bridge and reflecting back when i was at a match bridge hiring event i said chris, i think i was the one getting interviewed and to share that experience of being on the other side of interviewing people that were in the same shoes looking for a job it's amazing i can't contemplate on what a beautiful experience to share that with starbucks you've they've opened a gateway and i want to thank you

guarantee again for letting me share my story this program is an amazing the feedback to give back to the young adults that are in my shoes a couple of years ago it is amazing in working with starbucks and i think everyone should support it that's amazing i wish i could tell everyone thank you very much for letting me share (clapping.) so elizabeth thank you for your again taking charge of our own future and career one observe i you might stay in the hospitality but you could do anything you want to do and also want to give a quick shout out

as elizabeth was talking that's barbara and amy stand up for a second because they (clapping) together they have helped manage the partnership are starbucks in particular and helped to prepare young people like elizabeth elizabeth thank you very much. all right. and now ladies and gentlemen, starting at inside line backer number 43, 49ers >> what's my number yes, sir. yes, sir. 53 and so it's the fourth quarter they're on the eight yard line threatening to score they drop back to catch a

pass and he goes 89 yards for the go ahead score. >> thank you. >> one more wait, wait this is a test to say if you're a 49ers fan. >> we have 49ers fans i'm i'm here because i care. just to hear your story is amazing i can think badgering 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 hopefully, you have your pledge cards ready and so are we still able to track realtime where we are in terms of the pledges? okay. so those are the employers that have already made pledges and so we have i'm going to jump down don't sue me margaret.
