march -- mary who i know is well-known in this room in part because she's been a mentor to more than one member of the board of supervisors. mary is just an incredible leader in our community and particularly in democratic party and also in the api community. she is someone who has a work ethic in so many different areas beyond any work ethic that i have seen while doing community work in this city. mary is one of these people who is so incredibly modest that sometimes you might not realize that she's a chair of our san francisco democratic party as she's running around at events, helping out the volunteers and doing any work that needs to be done because mary is really one of those people that are working to advance in our community who understand that true leadership means everyone working together and leading by example instead of leading by -- i got to know mary when i first ran through the county central committee and she taught me how to file my papers. she mentored me over the years and now i'm trying to help mary where i can in the knowledge that i have gained in my tenure. i

by volunteering, by mentoring, and by sharing resources. it is also important to remember that while serving, our attitude is even more important. if you're serving but you are grumpy, the people that you are helping are going to know that. they're not going to know that you are doing it with an open heart. a you're smiling, genuinely, will understand that. even though you are genuinely serving from your heart. i want to conclude with a conversation with an observation. life a consider my success in many ways. one of the areas i consider mike success to be the most the filling is the way that gina and i have helped others. some of my are my -- more meaningful days have been when i helped others. dash that is that bold, and meaningful. it will be the dash you are happy to leave as a legacy. before iraq that our conversation tonight, i would like to share a few other thoughts. us first that god has given the 10 commandments. decision treese when you make your decisions, you will always make the right ones. i next got is that god put each of y

tavis: you mentor a lot of people. i want to come back to that. on an interview, in you are paying it forward by mentoring other individuals. in this country, across-the- board, students and students of color, and across the board, americans have a problem. it is not that we are not teaching it, it is that we do students achieving as they should it. these programs are being supported by major companies across the country to try to get more kids into the pipeline. what say you about them considering this pipeline? and why are we having trouble giving young people to enter it? >> it is actually the responsibility of people in my age group, the young engineers. we have to make it accessible. it is hard for somebody to go to a manager and understand that pathway to get there, and also, a lot of things that engineers do, people do them all of the time. it is just that people do not realize they are doing them. when i was younger, we would have things break around the house. the cable would be wobbly. we would identify the problem and find a solution. b

so you're coming over to be a mentor. it's less than $3.00. if you swap out fast food lunches just 3 times per week, you can save over 525 bucks a year. i could really use that! save on the kraft lunch backed by the low price guarantee. walmart. i remember thinking there's a lot i have to do... check my blood sugar, eat better. start insulin. today i learned there's something i don't have to do anymore. my doctor said with levemir® flexpen... i don't have to use a syringe and a vial. levemir® flexpen comes prefilled with long-acting insulin taken once daily for type 2 diabetes to help control high blood sugar. dial the exact dose. inject by pushing a button. no drawing from a vial. no refrigeration for up to 42 days. levemir® (insulin detemir [rdna origin] injection) is not recommended to treat diabetic ketoacidosis. do not use levemir® if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which may cause symptoms such as sweating, shakiness, confusion, and headache. severe low blood sugar can be seriou

we have a huge mentor group where people when they've obtained some sobriety they can become a mentor and they can give back and we have people who stick around for a really long time because they benefit as much as the newer folks coming in. so i think being able to create that community, that support, to be able to see other people doing it is really important. especially other people your age doing it. that's correct. why is that important, jonathan, to get people to really be engaged in planning their own sustainable road in recovery? well, you know, there's a term we use a lot in social work, you know, that you need to own the problem or the challenge. i think it's very motivating. you know, justin spoke very movingly about owning that and taking that responsibility. that's really crucial. it's also very developmentally appropriate for teens and young adults because that's what they're doing. they are exploring and they are defining who they are, what their values are, how they handle situations. so this fits beautifully in with that challenge for them. i also just wanted to ment

then i found a local mentor because she told me i needed to find a local mentor to actually be in myife daily, and i did with jenny walls, a friend of mine. but i want them to know they're not alone. i want them to seek out a mentor, seek out friendships, start a group, find a way to get among moms. i believed this lie that i was a loner and sally called me out on it and said, "we're made for relationships. we're not made to be alone." and she was so right. sally, tell them what you say about a woman alone in her home. sally: well, i think a woman alone in her own home with sinful children, messes, they want to eat and wear clothes all the days, and she is responsible for it becomes a target because they want, want, want, want and there is no one there to take the pressure off of her. so my takeaway is we have started mom heart groups. we have a momheart.org blog. we're trying to do training. we just say to moms if you need a group, start a group because with me moving 17 times, there was so many times i was lonely. and finally, the lord really -- i was looking at his life and though

that's what one of my mentors explained to me early on. no matter what you think when you walk in the door, remember it's the worst day they've had in a while, whether or not it's your day or not. and there's something to be said for that. so the story of the van people. first of all, i have to get a little bit of politics here. it's a heavily kurdish region. this is eastern turkey. van is the largest settlement in eastern turkey. at that time its peak it had about 700,000 people in it during the summer. beautiful like, absolutely gorgeous place to be. after the earthquake everybody who could leave, did. so what you have left are those that are either die-hards, the people that are the leaders of the community that want to rebuild, or people that couldn't leave. and that's really telling because when you look at these pictures you're going to see abdomen abject poverty. that's not really what it was before the earthquake so it went from bad to worse for these people. but what you saw time and time again is they were out and rebuilding and
