it is to our family advocates and mentor consultants. it is to our families for stepping out and supporting us and working with us. it is only there that we are able to be successful in hopes that our children will be successful in the future. i cannot take all that credit. that credit belongs to all of them. i have to thank my mother and father.

>> this is the opportunity to empower other people to mentor us. this is where you say we are all mentors. you don't need to go to a special school or class. we have wisdom and things to share. it's free. you say to a friend, i'm not looking for solutions or i'm not looking for sympathy. now i'm looking for solutions. do you feel like offering solutions and your friend will say, i don't know i can only do the sympathy. you thank her and have the tea and find the friend with solutions. >> what if you don't have one or more to the point do you worry that someone who is reading this book is really in some kind of a severe even clinical depression and needs professional help and thinks i will find my friends with the solutions or i will read the book and read it again, i will do this on my own and not get help they need. >> sure, i was certainly one of those people and i had to get professional help and for quite a few years. but i stumbled and floundered and made all the mistakes and tried to do it all myself and guess what, we find out if it works be

this community has benefited so much from your teaching, mentor should, dedication. i was reading an article how teachers are feeling be up. feeling that many of them did not understand how much work went into teaching and how dedicated they were to the success of their students. i want to be very clear, we are proud of what you do, each and every day. [applause] we are proud of what you do each and every day. we need to honor teachers. countries that are successful right now academically, typically teachers are considered one of the top professions. let's face it, we also have to make sure there is accountability for our schools and turning things around here meant replacing a principal and replacing some teachers. that is tough work, it should not be undertaken lightly. your school the did the right way with the process that even had the support of teachers and their local unions because you recognize the partnership among teachers and school a demonstrators. that is the path to reform. it is not easy. i would like to thank the school board and the superintendents

say that in the years i have worked in washington with an array of teachers and staff, i hope to mentor some amazing students. i am concerned that the proposed bunking et cuts are not passed. one of which is very bad. that's the better one. the other one would be absolutely cat strof yik. good staff, good faculty and talented students are now stressed out by the uncertainty of our future. i urge you to try to keep somebody in the strong years. thank you very much. good evening, my name is peter gram. the special education department head. i'd like to speak directly to the issue of budget cuts that my be coming down to the state. on top of that, we have been told we are going to cut 200 students. i have a great deal of concern about that. currently at this point, we have been building all the teachers, training them on incluesive practices. this is a very important component of what system will do. at this point, i would really urge you to do is not cut those 200 students. last year, at least seven or eight here right now have struggled to get the needs in his classes in an appropriate n

my mentor said paul since we're going to be blamed for things that weren't our fault, let's take some credit for the some of the good things we actually didn't do. i don't know if that works or not. >> but -- [laughter] >> we are 28% of the growth state revenue and only get back 9%. the local farmer doesn't work for a capital city like boston. how come when we had the crisis a few years ago -- i went to all the unions and asked them for a pay freeze. for one year. so i could get some revenues into my revenue basket so i could deal with some of the issues. also some of my departments, i asked to reorganize. it's interesting when you look at some budgets. i always pride myself on being pretty good on budgets. i had to have our public health division cut and nobody in the city recognized it. nobody complained once, because we as cities have some items in our budget that stay there forever, because we have a executive director that does nothing at all until we get to a crisis stage, we cut the these things out. but we went to the state and got them to give us some opportunities to raise r

i was very fortunate to have hillary rodham clinton, what a great mentor there.when i needed help, i went to her. it got done. whatever needed to get done, got done. i tell women, don't play games, okay? if you're stressed, don't cry. don't engage in that, you know? you know, if you're going to play in the boys' world, don't do games that they accuse us of playing. so really you're elevating your standard to above sexual politics to make it work. and then again, seek people who enrich your life, who make you grow and mentor you, but also friends and very close friends whose shoulders you can cry on. i've had a lot of women friends who were very supportive. one of the things that kept me sane was once a month i had high tea with a friend of mine who happened to be a psychiatrist. she didn't have to give me medications, but the fact i got to talk to a friend i respected and mull thing over and share meant so very much to what i did. what would i prescribe to young leaders? number one of all, be true to yourself. my form of leadership may be different than yours, yo
