one of the key points of learn form is this grit perseverance.e have been working at hyatt for years trying to expand that and a growth mindset is essential to practicing that. the connection between what they were promoting through learn storm and what we were working on the company was aligned. we had a common view about this. said, longer term we want to turn to building these resources for skills development and light sources -- light skills. ife skills. we want to partner with you to bring this to chicago. the scalability of this is stunning. that inhe effect of chicago. chicago is a place where right now, or engagement is necessary. -- more engagement is necessary. >> chicago public schools have been struggling. the effect of doing this and urgently, both of you focusing on chicago. >> it provided me with a sense of real result. -- resolve. i would add quickly that the first up we took was to enlist the districts. not just chicago public schools. this is five countries around chicago. and optimism was unbelievable. the senior leadership was

but you can overcome them with perseverance, no matter your background, your situation, your past.e a leader. this is something president ford demonstrated throughout his life. he was faced with many challenges in his life, as a child, as a youth, and as an adult, yet he overcame them, rising above and working hard and giving back to community and country. it is the same way that you and i can in our lives today. president ford understood suffering produces endurance, and character, and character produces hope. you and all students here today are the hope of america. but president ford also reminds us that life is about leadership and service and patriotism. as citizens of america, we can all see that we are bestowed with freedoms unparalleled across the globe. it was a strong government outlined in the articles of our constitution that guarantees freedoms to us in the bill of rights. in short, we are very blessed. president ford understood something else. he knew that much will be expected. at an early age, having been taught by his family and friends and community here, he needed

endure, persevere and give back as president ford did.ervice in our souls, let us stand up in the way president ford stood up, through one of the greatest crises in american history. as congressman hill said, god has been good to america, especially during this time. at the time of the civil war, he gave us the abraham lincoln. during watergate, he gave us gerald ford, the right man at the right time. he was able to put us on our feet again. let us do what is right in the same way resident ford did what is right. -- president ford did what is right. i will close with this quote which truly epitomizes the legacy of president ford. wrong is wrong, and right is right, even if everyone is against it. president ford undoubtedly did what is right. so let us, the students and the future of america, do the same. thank you so much.
