i'm going to step down on the floor but i have a voice that goes everywhere. you will be able to hear me. i wanted to make sure people why a law student, marine corps captain, why did he go into syria with only a camera? what motivated him? about -- talk to you this is one of my favorite pictures of my son. , doing something he was just learning how to do and he was so passionate and so excited to do it. he is going to go into syria with only a camera. he has seen urban conflict firsthand. he does not want this to happen in syria. he understands the dream and the desire for reform. he understands the motivation. he supports that motivation. he hopes they can achieve their having to have it get into conflict. syria and hes into immediately starts taking pictures of beautiful syrian children. he dreads the future for them. he dreads that the thirst for reform is going to radically change this picture. you have a road little -- you have a little boy riding a bicycle. a girl with her daddy supporting the reform movement. she is saying yes, let's have reform. this i

as a singer, as a successful black woman, aretha franklin came to symbolise more than just a sensational voicesay a little prayerfor you# she became heavily involved in the civil rights movement, with activists like her long—time friend, reverend jesse jackson. if you are going to summarise what aretha franklin meant to you, to this country, what would you say? a singer whose music impacted the world, whose sense of social justice was global. she also fought for doctor king, she fought for nelson mandela, she fought for barack obama. her sense of community service was as broad—basewd as her music. aretha sang at the funeral of martin luther king after the civil rights leader's assassination, but she provided the soundtrack to african—american history and progress long after that. being the most straightforward of choices for barack obama to sing at his inauguration. as she'd done a two previous presidential inauguration. he today paid tribute to the woman he says managed to convey in her voice all the power and pain of the american experience. # the moment i wake up...# amongst the tributes to

i am considered a voice from the floor, not the tower. when i started teaching i work understand one of the top programs in the city. i was excited until i found out she was not nice to children. i committed myself i would go through early childhood to make sure it doesn't happen again. what die when i return the center i give the kids what i never got and they deserve to have. i believe early childhood teachers are professionals, it d should be paid as professionals. my center alone in the seven years i walked into two classrooms struggling and built it into a hour classroom site. we achieved national numbers. i mentor the next generation of school directors. i mentored a lay teacher had is now amentor teacher. the bottom line is kids come first. that is who i am. >> great. thank you. call up the next applicant. we will come back for questions. >> good afternoon, supervisor yee and stephanie. i want to thank you for having me here today. i know you have a tough decision to make. cathy is an amazing leader. i want to share mytor story. at

, she could a lwa ys never lost her voicelot of technical expertise as well, so i do think so, even though she touched everyone, we were also really aware that this was someone who had learned her craft as well. how inspirational washy when you we re how inspirational washy when you were listening to her years ago? it's hard to describe but you know when you feel like you were hearing the truth, that every word she is saying, you believe, it felt like the truth and you just followed her and even as a young child, ifelt like i was being spoken to. and that vocal range, you think she's gone to one level and then there is a whole other level. unstoppable range and power but what was great was the sweetness to it, her voice was never harsh, no matter how loud or high, there was never a shrillness to it, it was just so weak and soaring. there's never been another voice like it. if there was one song to you that epitomised aretha franklin, what would it be? gosh, obviously respect is the one we know, but oh, my gosh... i'm putting
