From YouTube: John Hancock MLK Scholars Summer Jobs Kick-Off 2017
Description
Calling all Boston youth! The City's summer jobs program has begun! Mayor Walsh joins John Hancock, Boston University, the Boston Globe, Partners HealthCare and The Ad Cub, at the John Hancock Building in the Seaport District to kick off the 2017 MLK Scholars Summer Jobs program, which provides funding to local non-profit organizations for hiring Boston youth over the course of the summer. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the MLK Summer Scholars program.
A
A
A
In
conjunction
with
the
mayor
summer,
jobs
campaign,
John
Hancock
works
in
very
close
partnership
with
the
Boston
Globe
Boston
University
and
Partners
HealthCare,
to
offer
this
very
unique
program.
In
addition
to
working
at
nonprofit
organizations
throughout
the
city,
you
will
also
go
to
be
used
again
as
arena
for
three
Menino
leadership
forums
and
the
fourth
and
final
forum
will
be
a
talent
show
held
at
the
Shubert
theater.
This
summer
theme
is
the
king
within
me.
When
I
hear
that
message,
I
think
about
taking
inspiration
from
dr.
King,
everyone
has
the
potential
to
be
a
leader.
A
I
will
say
that
again,
everyone
has
the
potential
to
be
a
leader.
We
want
you
to
think
about
aligning
your
actions
this
summer
and
beyond
to
some
of
MLK's
core
values,
vision,
compassion,
organizing
integrity
and
inclusion.
We
also
have
something
we
uniquely
serve.
We
all
have
something
that
we
uniquely
have
to
offer
this
world,
which
is
a
vision
we
should
set
it
in
motion
and
bring
others
along
with
us
inclusion.
This
summer
we
will
be
honing
in
on
leadership
in
a
number
of
ways.
A
Each
of
you
in
our
Friday's
Mayor
Menino
Leadership
Forum,
will
be
with
one
of
Boston's
community's
top
leaders
and
they
will
share
their
passion
with
you
and
also
throughout
this
summer,
you'll
be
learning
online
about
your
personal
money
management
through
everFi.
Now
that
you
know
what's
in
store
this
summer,
let
me
walk
you
through
the
plan
for
this
afternoon.
A
Next
we're
going
to
do
an
interactive
session,
then
we're
going
to
have
an
opportunity
to
hear
from
Mayor
Walsh
a
Boston,
Marathon
champion
and
a
former
scholar,
and
then
we'll
have
a
chance
to
get
to
know
each
other
and
talk
in
pairs.
How
does
this
sound
all
right
great?
This
is
all
right
so
to
bring
some
energy
into
the
room.
I
have
few
assistants
if
Tia
and
John
could
please
join
me
up
front.
A
We
are
going
to
do
an
exercise
called
Simon,
Says
I,
don't
know
you
remember
it,
but
just
in
case
you
don't
here
are
the
instructions
in
a
moment
I'm
going
to
ask
everyone
to
stand,
then
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
series
of
direction.
You
should
only
follow
the
direction
if
I
preface
it
with
Simon
Says.
If
I
don't
say
Simon
Says,
then
don't
do
the
action
here.
You
have
John
and
taya.
A
A
C
A
A
A
That
was
fun
thanks
to
everyone
who
took
part
in
also
our
community
service
projects,
as
you
were
walking
in
now,
let's
take
a
closer
look
and
connect
the
dots
to
the
spirit
of
this
year's
theme,
which
is
a
king
within
you,
and
the
legacy
of
MLK
and
our
life
journey.
We're
always
going
to
have
people
who
tell
us
what
to
do
people
who
are
giving
us
guidance
and
advice.
These
are
your
parents,
your
friends,
your
employer's
your
co-workers
even
strangers
on
Instagram.
A
You
will
also
give
advice
to
younger
kids,
as
you
did
when
you
participated
in
our
service
project
on
your
way
in.
It
is
important
for
you
to
think
about
who
is
assignment
in
your
life,
who
are
the
people
that
you're
going
to
follow
and
also
how
you
will
lead
others?
What
are
the
assignments
and
actions
you
are
going
to
encourage
others
to
do?
How
will
you
influence
your
squads?
Are
your
hashtags
blog
goals,
helping
you
and
your
community
thrive?
A
If
this
is
in
fact
the
case,
then
we
have
to
make
sure
the
who
and
the
what,
in
our
leadership,
doesn't
contradict
our
beliefs
and
our
values.
We
hope
that
you
use
this
summer
job
experience
at
your
organization's
and
at
the
Menino
Leadership
Forum
to
learn
to
grow
and
to
affirm
what
these
beliefs
and
values
are.
We
hope
that
you
will
use
this
time
to
understand
and
strengthen
the
leader
within
you.
That's
the
spirit
of
MLK.
A
Now
that
we've
got
some
energy
in
the
room
and
have
some
insight
as
to
what
we
have
in
store
this
summer
I'm
going
to
bring
to
the
stage
someone
who
does
embody
the
values
of
MLK.
He
leads
this
company
with
integrity
inside
and
outside
of
these
offices.
Please
welcome
my
boss
cube
so
my
boss's
boss's
boss
executive
vice
president
and
general
counsel,
Jim
Gallagher,
Emmanuel,
Eisen,
John,
Hancock,.
D
D
Mayor,
Walsh
and
members
of
his
team
are
here
today,
including
chief
barrows
and
chief
royal,
also
chief
Krauss
from
the
Boston
Police
Department
and,
of
course,
president
Brown
from
Boston
University
Linda
Henry
from
the
Boston
Globe
match
Fishman
from
Partners
HealthCare.
These
organizations,
together
with
John
Hancock
in
the
mayor's
office,
have
made
this
program
what
it
is
today
and
we'll
be
getting
into
the
numbers,
because
that's
what
we
do
here
at
John
Hancock.
We
do
numbers
really
well
we'll
talk
about
that
in
a
moment.
D
We're
also
grateful
for
the
support
of
the
ad
Club
Center
for
teen
empowerment,
Boston
cares
and
everFi.
It's
an
honor
to
be
with
all
of
you
to
celebrate
the
10th
year
of
MLK
scholars
and
to
kick
off
our
2017
summer
program,
where
many
of
the
scholars
here
today
will
be
starting
new
jobs
since
we
started
MLK
scholars.
Ten
years
ago,
john
hancock
has
funded
more
than
here,
come
the
numbers,
six
thousand
jobs
and
provided
nearly
ten
million
dollars
in
wages.
D
So,
as
we
mark
our
10th
year,
we
hope
we
proudly
reflect
on
all
that
has
been
accomplished
and
do
so
with
a
much
deeper
appreciation
for
the
value
created
when
young
people
gain
truly
meaningful
work
experience
as
a
company
headquartered
in
Boston,
for
about
a
hundred
and
fifty
five
years.
Another
number
we
recognize
that
our
success
is
driven
in
part
really
by
the
success
of
our
region.
D
We
must
invest
in
local
talent
to
create
a
strong
and
vibrant
city
and
to
build
a
competitive
workforce
for
our
future
economy,
an
economy
we
all
share
so
now
I
have
the
honor
of
introducing
a
tremendous
leader
who
works
tirelessly
to
build
a
better,
more
inclusive
Boston.
Mayor
Walsh
has
made
several
jobs
and
youth
workforce
readiness
a
very
top
priority,
and
we
are
very
proud
to
partner
with
him
and
his
team.
Please
join
me
in
giving
a
great
round
of
applause
for
our
mayor
mayor,
Marty,
Walsh,.
E
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
Jim
Gallagher
and
want
to
thank
Yasmin
and
everyone
at
John
Hancock
for
the
great
work
that
this
company
does
every
single
day
in
our
city,
but
in
particular
around
summer
jobs
when
you
think
about
10
million
dollars,
6,000
kids,
that's
a
lot
of
money!
That's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
young
people
that
went
before
you
that
are
now
probably
I.
Think
some
of
them
are
working
actually
for
John
Hancock
that
started
their
career
as
an
intern
in
the
summer.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
E
I
want
to
thank
also
boss.
University
president
Brown
is
with
us,
was
another
dear
friend
from
the
Boston
Globe
Linda
Henry's
with
us.
Thank
you
and
for
the
Boston
Police
Department
Chief
Allah
grants
is
with
us
Thank
You
chief,
we're
going
to
hear
from
in
a
little
bit
and
I
want
to
congratulate
John
Hancock
on
10
years.
E
Wasn't
what's
incredible
about
John
Hancock!
Is
that
in
my
time
as
mayor,
which
is
my
fourth
summer
now
watching
the
companies
that
come
on
board,
because
John
Hancock
leads
the
way
and
that's
something
that
God's
been
a
surprise
for
me
to
be
able
to
see
this
program
that
the
Scholars
Program
and
have
other
companies
do
the
same
thing.
So
it's
not
just
on
the
job.
How
many
of
you
is
first
year
coming
to
work,
it's
going
to
be
a
first-timer
working
for
John
Hancock.
How
many?
Second?
Third?
E
What
was
their
path
to
get
to
this
to
be
a
career
and
I
tell
young
people
all
the
time.
It's
something
I
talked
with
summer
jobs,
programs
or
whatever
I
talked
about
it's
a
point
of
Paul
your
dreams
and
part
of
having
a
summer
job
is
allowing
you
to
follow
your
dreams.
My
first
time
a
job
I
was
working
at
Dunkin
Donuts
and
my
job
was
to
make
the
donuts
I
was
the
guy
in
the
back.
E
When
the
donuts
came
out
of
the
oven,
he
dipped
the
honey
dip
and
they'd
be
different
down
and
eat
them.
Next,
it
was
good
off
by
other
thing,
and
then
you
would
take
the
jelly
and
the
honey
and
the
sugar
you
dip
it
in
and
after
I
worked
there
for
a
while
I
just
I
wouldn't
eat
jelly
doughnuts
for
a
long
time,
I've
kind
of
forgotten
a
little
bit
of
the
process,
so
I
may
hate
him.
Now.
E
What
was
important
to
me
was
not
so
much
the
work
it
was
when
I
got
my
first
check,
I
thought
it
was
the
coolest
thing.
Cuz
I
had
my
own
money
and
I
was
able
to
buy
what
I
want
to
buy,
where
I
could
afford
it.
That
particular
time
my
life
and
I
understood
the
value
of
that.
What
I
didn't
have
back
when
I
was
a
kid,
is
I?
E
Have
a
company
like
John
Hancock
to
work,
for
it
actually
showed
me
and
helped
me
along
the
way,
with
saving
money
with
making
investments
with
understanding
and
haunted
tree
people,
that's
something
that
was
missing
in
my
life.
So
I
went
on
to
do
my
own
stuff
as
I
got
older,
but
the
opportunity
that
each
every
one
of
you
have
here
is
absolutely
incredible
and
I'm.
E
Looking
forward
to
seeing
a
lot
of
you
become
future
leaders
of
our
city
before
I
bring
up
the
next
speaker,
I'm
not
going
to
talk
too
long,
but
when
I
talk
to
young
people
all
the
time,
I
tell
them
to
follow
their
dreams,
because
it's
important
to
you
each
and
every
one
of
you
to
pursue
what
you
want
to
do.
Don't
let
anyone
tell
you
that
you
can't
you
can't
get
something.
You
can't
follow
your
dream,
pursue
your
dream.
E
When
I
was
a
kid,
when
I
was
a
high
school
kid
I
made
some
pretty
made
some
bad
decisions
as
I
got
older
I
made
real
bad
decisions
in
my
life.
I
made
bad
decisions
to
a
point
where
I
end
up
having
to
go
to
detox.
I've
developed,
an
alcohol
problem
and
I
had
a
dream
before
that.
My
dream
was
to
get
into
politics,
but
my
life
choices
that
I
made
kind
of
screwed
that
all
up
I
could
have
run
for
office.
But
I'd
have
a
lot
of
explaining
to
do.
E
E
Pursue
I
was
able
to
pursue
them,
including
getting
a
college
degree,
because
when
I
was
supposed
to
go
to
college,
I
didn't
go
and
I
often
think
back
to
if
I
had
a
company
like
John
Hancock
that
I
worked
with
in
people
I
had
a
chance
to
mentor
and
get
mentored
by
my
life
might
have
taken
different
paths.
So
this
is
an
opportunity
for
all
of
you
to
really
get
an
understanding,
and
some
of
you
don't
even
care
what
I'm
feeling
now,
but
at
the
end
of
the
summer,
I
guarantee
you.
E
If
I
come
back
and
talk
to
you
ivar,
you
were
absolutely
right.
I
kind
of
have
listened
to
you.
What
are
you
alright
so
again,
I
want
to
thank
all
the
young
people
that
are
here
today.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
folks
at
here
today.
Now
I
have
an
unbelievable
honor.
Today,
I
have
the
honor
to
introduce
a
person
tatyana
mcfadden,
who
is
an
inspiration
in
so
many
people's
lives,
I'm,
going
to
tell
you
some
of
the
some
of
her
accomplishments,
one
of
the
best
elite
athletes
in
the
world.
E
She
won
17,
Paralympic
medals,
14
world
track
and
field
medals.
She
has
a
four
history
of
wins.
This
is
four
consecutive
years
of
winning
all
of
these
races,
Boston
London,
Chicago,
New,
York,
marathons
from
2013
for
2016,
that's
16
consecutive
wins
at
these
major
marathons
in
the
world.
In
the
last
in
the
last
three
years,
she
has
run
for
Team
MRA
as
a
symbol
of
honor
and
respect
for
young
mountain
Richa.
Now
I
get
a
chance
to
tell
you
this.
E
So,
as
a
mayor
I
get
to
crown
the
men's
winner
in
the
race
and
Jim
Jim
is
there
and
we're
all
there?
John
Hancock's,
our
youth
part
of
it
and
I
had
a
chance
in
my
first
year
as
mayor
to
watch,
tatyana
mcfadden
make
the
left
come
down
street
the
left
on
until
the
left
from
yeah.
Let's
don't
go
Boylston
and
cross
the
finish
line
and
she
wore
that
shirt
that
she
has
on
in
that
picture.
Am
I
right
now?
Am
I
right?
The
guy.
Everyone
knows
that.
Am
I
right.
E
It's
a
foundation
cherry
that
was
named
after
young
Mountain
Richard
that
was
was
killed
during
the
2013
Marathon
bombing
and
I
had
the
chance
to
watch.
Tatiana
finish
the
finish
finish
the
race
and
she
won,
which
was
an
unbelievable
experience
in
itself,
but
I
had
a
chance
to
watch
mountains,
God
and
mountains.
E
F
F
Mayor,
thank
you
so
much
for
those
wonderful
words
and
thank
you
so
much
John
Hancock
for
having
me
here
today.
I
am
incredibly
credibly
honored
to
be
speaking
here
today.
In
my
lifetime
of
28
years,
I
have
learned
two
most
important
lessons.
First,
I
learned
that
life
isn't
about
what
you
don't
have.
It
is
about
what
you
do
with
the
gifts
that
you
are
given.
F
Second
I
learned
that
life
is
like
a
marathon.
It
stretches
out
for
miles
and
miles
ahead
of
you
and
it
screams
endurance,
and
even
though
you
may
seem
somewhat
familiar
with
the
route,
it
still
has
his
twist
and
its
turn
its
ups
and
it's
downs
and
there's
no
guarantee
of
how
each
race
will
end
having
that
28
years
ago,
at
baby
orphanage
number
13
in
Saint,
Petersburg
Russia
I
doubt
that
you
would
even
bet
that
I
would
find
success.
F
After
all,
I
was
born
with
spina
bifida
and
had
no
ability
to
walk
medical
professionals
were
so
confident,
I
wouldn't
live.
They
didn't
operate
to
close
the
hole
in
my
back
for
21
days,
I
was
severely
malnourished.
I
had
never
seen
a
wheelchair.
In
fact,
I
didn't
know
a
wheelchair
even
existed
in
my
very
best.
Outfit
consisted
of
a
hand-me-down
dress,
with
a
stuffy
bull
in
my
hair.
F
Stanley's
constantly
came
through
the
orphanage
looking
for
healthy
babies,
not
looking
for
a
sickly
child
with
the
challenging
disability,
my
chances
for
success
not
worth
measuring,
but
now,
let's
fast-forward
a
22
years
from
when
I
was
adopted
at
age.
Six
in
here
I
am
an
elite
athlete
with
17
Paralympic
medals.
F
Like
you,
I
know
what
is
what
to?
Hopefully,
look
at
the
road
ahead,
understanding
that
it's
filled
with
possibility.
Let
me
share
some
the
lessons
that
I've
learned
about
overcoming
challenges
and
persevering
lesson.
One
don't
be
afraid.
If
your
path
takes
you
in
an
unexpected
direction,
you
never
know
what
you
might
discover.
It
isn't
easy
among
odd
the
opportunities
that
life
has
to
offer
to
land.
On
that
one
perfect
path.
F
That
is
meant
for
you
accept
that
the
first
path
you
choose
may
not
be
lasting,
be
willing
to
look
outside
your
comfort
zone,
listen
to
the
advice
of
others.
Don't
go
just
discouraged
if
it
takes
a
while
to
find
success.
If
truth
be
told,
I
started
life
as
a
sprinter.
From
the
time
I
took
track
at
the
Paralympics
in
2004,
I
ran
the
100-meter
and
a
200-meter
races.
I
knew
I
was
destined
to
be
the
best
sprinter
in
the
world.
When
asked
about
trying
a
marathon
which
is
26.2
miles,
my
answer
was
an
immediate.
F
No,
no
way
distance
running
was
not
for
me
not
today,
not
tomorrow.
Never
I
was
a
sprinter.
I
knew
this
for
sure.
I
was
100%
confidence,
starting
college
in
2008,
I
actually
came
in
on
the
basketball.
Scholarship
I
also
did
track
practice.
In
the
afternoon.
In
the
beginning
of
the
year,
we
wrote
down
our
goals
and
so
I
wrote
down
my
sprinting
goals.
Of
course,
faster
starts
more
power
and
getting
better
than
they
ate
a
hundred
meter.
None
were
marathon
goals.
F
F
But
what
happened
if
I
didn't
listen?
What
happened
if
I
didn't
try
what
if
I
was
so
sure
about
my
sprinting
career,
but
I
wasn't
willing
to
move
outside
my
comfort
zone,
not
even
for
just
one
day
man.
Prawns
are
such
a
big
part
of
my
life.
Now
I
cannot
even
imagine
life
without
the
challenge
of
American
calling
me
to
race,
but
this
present
isn't
about
marathon,
but
it
is
about
understanding
that
we
don't
always
know
what
is
best
for
us.
We
need
to
rely
on
devices.
F
We
need
to
rely
on
advice
of
others,
particularly
in
our
early
careers,
and
accept
that
perfect
paths
may
take
us
in
an
unexpected
direction,
but
are
sometimes
outside
our
comfort
zone.
Mine
certainly
did
lesson
two.
We
all
have
a
special
power
within
us
to
get
through
tough
times
and
to
push
it
forward
good,
to
know
that
special
strength
learn
to
trust
it
back
in
orphanage
number
13,
having
survived
against
all
odds,
I
reach
the
age
when
all
other
children
would
begin
to
crawl
and
walk
with
legs,
but
didn't
move.
F
When
others,
my
age
were
learning
to
walk,
I
was
learning
to
walk
too
sometimes
walking
up
late
on
my
hands
and
sometimes
just
scooting
inches
above
the
floor.
I
adapted
I
learned
to
keep
up.
I
wanted
to
be
just
like
everyone
else
and
in
my
own
little
world
I
was
what
no
one
knew
then
what
we
all
know
now,
the
fact
of
walking
on
my
arms
and
lifting
myself
up
so
I
could
scoot,
along
with
others,
built
a
muscle
mass
in
my
arms
and
in
my
upper
body.
F
That
carries
me
to
victory
today,
not
only
in
life
but
in
race.
As
would
someone
says,
my
disability
has
given
me
the
opportunity
for
success.
The
power
inside
of
me
to
push
to
belong
has
driven
me
from
the
very
beginning,
and
today,
in
particularly
in
difficult
races,
I
tap
into
that
same
strength,
deep
inside,
to
carry
me
to
the
finish
line.
I
know
it
is
there
over
time,
I've
come
to
learn
that
it
really
isn't
about
winning.
It
is
about
the
energy
that
we
have
within
us
to
finish
with
pride,
whatever
the
race
may
be.
F
We
all
had
that
special
energy
to
lift
our
spirits,
give
us
confidence
and
infuse
us
with
strength
when
we
need
it
most.
When
things
aren't
working
out
as
you
expected
when
the
twists
and
the
turns
are
getting
the
best
of
you
dig
deep,
and
you
too
will
find
the
energy
to
finish
every
project,
every
task
and
every
job
with
pride,
bringing
honor
to
your
work
and
in
turn
honor
to
yourself,
because
both
are
important
lesson
3.
When
you
fall
down,
get
back
up,
no
matter.
F
F
How
we
handle
life
when
it
is
difficult
in
2014
I
was
leading
the
pack
at
the
New
York
City
Marathon,
and
was
rounding
the
corner
at
Columbus.
Circle
for
the
final
sprint
in
Central
Park,
it
was
a
beautiful
day.
The
race
had
gone
well
and
I
was
leading
towards
the
second
consecutive
victory
in
New
York
and
a
second
consecutive
Grand
Slam,
previously
winning
Boston
London
in
Chicago
for
two
years
in
a
row
us
with
one
of
my
favorite
races
because
I
loved
to
climb
Hills.
F
It
is
it
my
favorite
part
of
marathon
I
broke
away
at
Mile
16.
So
it's
all
by
myself
the
lead
person
or
the
lead
pack.
We
always
have
a
lead
vehicle,
camera
crew
and
the
lead
cyclist
with
us.
Coming
down
to
the
last
point,
two
miles
at
Columbus
Circle,
a
motorcycle
policeman
who
is
riding
nearby
cut
the
corner
over
to
too
close,
so
I
cut
the
corner.
A
little
too
close.
I
lost
my
balance.
My
racing
chair
tipped
over
and
my
entire
body,
so
I'll
bet
my
feet.
F
I
could
hear
the
cloud
respondent
police
were
rushing
towards
me
to
help
me
get
back
into
my
racing
chair.
Everyone
was
worried
that
I
was
hurt
or
that
my
chair
was
erected.
Lee
damaged.
The
choices
were
clear,
but
I
had
moments
to
respond.
If
anyone
touched
me
or
tried
to
help
me
back
in
my
chair,
I
would
be
disqualified.
Those
are
just
the
rules.
I
was
sure
that
people
didn't
know
this
fact.
Many
things
are
running
through
my
mind
was
the
race
over.
For
me,
how
broke
with
my
competition
did
I
finish.
F
Could
I
still
win
in
seconds?
I
looked
at
my
chair,
everything
was
fine.
I
went
through
a
mental
checklist
of
my
body,
no
broken
bones
or
dislocated
shoulders,
I
told
the
policeman
I'm
fine
and
then,
within
that
special
strength
that
lies
deep
within
with
my
legs
still
inside
my
chair,
I
pushed
myself
back
in
dust
off
my
shoulders
and
was
on
my
way
finishing
the
last
point,
two
miles
of
the
race
crossing
the
finish
line,
one
minute
in
eight
seconds,
I
had
my
competition.
F
I
said:
look
back
today,
I
realized
that
it
wasn't
whether
I
won
or
lost.
Wasn't
the
point.
The
point
was:
I
fell
down
and
got
back
up.
There
will
always
be
moments
in
our
work
and
in
my
life
journey
when
we
fell
unexpectedly,
we
may
make
a
mistake,
although
it
may
cause
us
to
fall
or
may
be
a
combination
of
factors
and
why
we
ultimately
need
to
understand
what
happens.
The
real
question
for
all
of
us
is:
what
do
you
do
when
you
fall
down?
F
F
Your
marathon
starts
this
summer
and
I'm
so
excited
to
learn
about
your
journey
and
to
follow.
You
all
have
that
special
power
within
to
become
anything
that
you
want
to
be.
We
can
all
be
leaders,
you
just
have
to
take
that
chance.
We
can
all
find
the
king
within
us.
Thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
here
today.
A
Before
we
do
the
interactive
we're
going
to
hear
from
a
former
scholar
but
Thank
You
Tatiana,
for
sharing
this
story
and
for
reminding
us
that
it
requires
a
lot
of
depth
to
continue
to
win
and
to
do
well.
So
thanks
for
your
inspiring
story,
so
today
all
of
you
who
are
embarking
the
summer
journey
as
a
scholar
should
listen
to
Darius
Davis.
He
was
a
scholar
for
three
summers:
2008
through
2010.
So
please
give
a
warm
welcome
to
Darius.
G
Good
afternoon,
everyone
how
you
guys
doing
good
good,
my
name
is
daddy's
Davis
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Mission
Hill.
As
you
guys
may
know,
I
was
watching
you
guys
shoot
a
wreck.
Doctor
told
me
too
many
Senate
and
the
Johnson
community
Senate
of
the
MLK
scholar.
Since
then,
I
went
on
to
building
a
register
where
I
was
recruited
to
play
basketball,
but
my
time
they
after
my
freshman
year,
I
realized
that
school
work
was
not
important
and
I
ended
up
giving
up
playing
basketball.
G
So
this
day
my
friends
think
I'm
crazy
for
doing
it,
but
I
think
it
was
the
best
decision.
I
ever
did
and
this
scholarship.
This
program
helped
me
understand
that,
and
they
gave
me
opportunity
to
see
that
there
was
a
better
future
out
there
and
as
I
was
sitting
in
this
room
years
ago,
I
was
just
like
you
guys.
Somebody's
lost
me
a
chair,
don't
want
to
be
here,
you
rather
be
outside
and
join.
The
weather.
G
You
may
not
see
it
right
now,
but
they
see
something.
That's
what
my
uncle
seen
in
me,
because
I
did
not
want
to
do
this.
I
told
him
no
three
times
on
the
third
time
and
I
said:
I
know
what
I
need
you
just.
Let
me
give
this
a
shot,
because
all
I
want
to
go
straight
back.
There
wasn't
anything
pertain
in
the
bathroom.
G
I
didn't
want
to
go,
but
my
uncle
seeing
something
in
and
I
tension
every
single
day
that
he
made
me
be
a
part
is
perfect,
so
father
I
want
you
guys
to
do.
Take
full
full
advantage
of
this
program.
Full
event.
I
know
you
guys
may
not
want
to
be
a
Kasai
can
see
and
I'm
going
to
keep
iterating
I
was
just
like
you
guys.
G
When
you
go
off
the
college
with
some
of
your
friends
or
not,
they
don't
have
the
same
opportunities
as
you
guys
they
don't
have
the
same
buzz
opened
as
you
guys,
they're
going
to
be
very,
very
thankful
that
you
were
sitting
in
this
room
when
it's
hard
90
degree
day.
I
promise
you
guys.
So
if
you
got
to
do
anything
from
just
enjoyed
it
so
I'ma
soak
it
all
in
get
all
the
opportunities
that
you
can
out
of
it
in
network
I
was
one
of
the
key
things
that
I
remember
from
the
workshops.
G
I'd
be
here.
It
was
network
at
first
they
talk
tomorrow.
The
Latian
should
go,
then
I
didn't
want
to
hear
it
wasn't,
go
basketball
right,
but
when
I
went
off
to
college
they
started
talking
about
networking.
First
thing
in
my
head:
oh
I'm,
never
hearing
this
I
was
at
BU,
so
I
was
one
up
of
my
classmates
I
actually
know
about
relationship
building,
actually
know
about
going
out
there
taking
on
opportunity,
even
if
you
may
feel
uncomfortable.
A
I
didn't
play
basketball
at
Bentley
University,
but
that
was
a
great
layup.
Thank
you.
So
now
we
are
going
to
work
on
relationship
building
and
networking
we
are
going
to
talk
to
each
other
in
pairs.
Today
is
designed
to
be
interactive
so
just
to
give
you
some
instructions,
this
is
concentric
rows.
We
have
ribbons
on
the
end
of
each
rows
if
you're
in
the
rows
with
live
in
those
are
the
even
rows
you're
going
to
do
the
musical
chairs.
A
If
you're
in
the
odd
rows,
remember
I
know
we
have
we're
still
in
school,
so
1,
3,
5,
7,
etc.
You're
going
to
turn
your
chair
around
when
I
instruct
you
all
to
do
so,
and
you're
talked
to
your
partner,
asking
a
question
that
you
will
answer
with
the
partner
that
you're
speaking
with
will
come
from
a
partner
or
a
sponsor
of
MLK
Scholars
program.
So
if
you
don't
mind,
could
I,
please
ask
the
rose
and
the
volunteers
can
help
you
1
3,
5
and
7
to
turn
around.
A
A
A
H
Thank
You
jasmine.
It's
really
a
pleasure
to
be
here
and
represent
Boston
University
Emma
K,
Scholars
Program,
when
you
think
about
summer
jobs,
I
think
about
the
two
questions:
you're
going
to
start
answering
all
right.
What
kind
of
work
do
I
really
enjoy
and
what
am
I
good
at
and
the
second
is
how
much
education
does
it
take
to
do
that
job?
H
Do
it
well,
my
own
summer,
job
experience
is
pretty
straightforward:
I
grew
up
in
San
Antonio
Texas
as
an
important
part
of
that
context
raised
by
a
single
mother
and
if
I
wanted
any
money
to
spend
I
had
to
work
that
started
about
the
age
of
13
with
all
kinds
of
ways
of
making
money.
Most
of
them
legal
I
spent
a
number
of
years
actually
working
at
a
big
supermarket
started.
H
Bagging
groceries
went
on
to
be
a
cashier
and
finally
graduated
to
work
in
the
stockroom,
which
was
considered
high
form
of
life
when
I
started
this'll
date
myself,
but
when
I
started
it
was
60
cents
an
hour
right.
So
you
have
to
work
a
number
of
hours,
I
get
a
bottle
of
coke
one
summer,
I
was
asked.
Can
this
gets
to
the
question
to
work
at
the
regional
warehouse
of
the
chain?
This
is
a
big
deal
because
you
graduated
from
the
store
to
the
to
the
local
center.
H
What
I
did
there
was
unload,
boxcars
and
load
vans,
as
groceries
came
in
in
in
boxcars
and
were
put
in
this
big
warehouse
and
then
loaded
into
vans
that
went
out
to
individual
stores.
Now
here's
my
most
important
summer,
job
experience
one
hot
summer
day,
which
would
be
sort
of
like
it's
outside
the
day
I.
When
I
wrote
this
I
didn't
think
this
was
going
to
happen.
Three
of
us
were
assigned
the
worst
job
I've
ever
had
in
my
life.
H
H
Right,
I
was
not
really
motivated
to
go
to
college
until
the
end
of
that
summer
and
I
became
the
first
college
graduate
for
my
family
and
I
still
absurdly.
Thank
you
thank
you
and,
as
my
family
would
say,
I've
actually
never
left
school,
but
I
was
really
motivated
by
that
experience
as
much
as
anything
I.
Think
in
my
life,
I
want
to
thank
all
the
supporters
of
this
program,
especially
John
Hancock
Caen
in
mayor
Walsh,
I
hope
you
learn
something
memorable
from
your
summer.
Job
experience
as
I
did
now.
A
A
There's
such
great
relationship
building
I
apologize,
but
that
you
can
always
continue
the
conversation
at
another
point.
At
this
point,
scholars
in
the
even
though
the
one
the
roads
that
have
the
ribbon
at
the
end.
Can
you
please
move
down
a
one
to
your
right
and
if
you're
at
the
end,
can
you
go
to
the
row
behind
you,
so
everyone
ships
down
one
to
your
right,
but
if
you
try
to
tear
around
just
stay
put
so
and
they
even
rode
shift
one
to
your
right.
So
you
go.
A
All
right,
so
thanks!
So
much
next
question
will
come
from
Linda
Henry.
The
managing
director
of
the
Boston
Globe
Linda
Henry
is
a
profound
of
hub
week,
a
director
on
many
boards
and
early
stage

and
emmy-winning

producer
and
a

activist
and
I,
don't
know
if
she
ever
gets
to

I'm

Please
share
your

I
Hi,
thank
you
guys
so
much
and
for
those
who
have
your
back
to
me,
don't
worry
about
it.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
being
here,
I
am
so
excited
and
I
can't
believe
that
this
is
already
in
its
tenth
year
in
Boston.
I
feel
like
once
you're
there
for
ten
years,
you're,
no
longer
the
new
program
or
the
new
mayor
or
the
new
was
any
owner
or
not.
So
the
fact
that
this
is
a
collaboration
between
the
incredible
civic
leaders
of
John,
Hancock
partners
and
bu.
I
The
first
point
ad
will
be
this
Sunday
June
18th,
so
to
be
sure
to
look
for,
and
hopefully
we'll
get
some
of
your
great
numbers
in
there.
We
are
proud
to
be
able
to
highlight
the
MLK
summers
program
and
to
be
a
partner
among
leaders
in
the
community
advocating
for
summer
jobs
and
supporting
our
youth.
Thank
you,
mayor
Walsh,
in
your
entire
office,
Thank
You
chief
Liam
gross
John,
Hancock's,
bu,
&,
Partners
HealthCare.
A
A
A
A
J
To
you
this
summer
and
going
forward,
but
it's
really
exciting
and
energizing
to
be
here,
I'll,
be
able
to
go
back
to
work
with
a
fresh
sense
of
energy
that
comes
from
you
guys
and
I
also
want
to
say,
I
admire,
enormous
ly.
The
mayor's
leadership.
You
guys
should
know
that
this
mayor
says
to
the
big
organizations
in
Boston.
You
guys
have
to
make
sure
you're
going
to
be
employing
as
many
kids
this
summer
and
actually
make
that
number
go
higher
every
year,
so
there's
more
opportunities
every
year.
J
We
know
how
important
it
is
to
him.
We
know
how
important
it
is
to
you.
That's
why
we
do
it.
That's
why
we're
here
every
year
doing
the
MLK
Scholars
Program
with
perfect
partners
like
Boston,
University,
John,
Hancock
and
the
globe.
This
is
a
mayor
and
his
team
who
look
out
for
you
guys
every
day,
so
my
first
summer
job
was
working
in
a
movie.
Theater
and
I
started
as
an
usher
and
what
that
meant
was
I
tore
tickets
for
people
as
they
came
in
and
then
I
picked
up
the
trash
after
they
left.
J
If
other
people
didn't
show
up
and
then
I
had
to
do
more,
maybe
the
theater
wasn't
as
clean
as
it
should
be,
but
if
people
did
show
up
and
I
made
sure
I
showed
up,
then
it
actually
wasn't
so
bad
because
you
were
doing
it
with
people
that
you
got
to
know,
and
you
have
a
few
jokes
and
you
make
sure
you
got
the
work
done
and
you
were
glad
you
had
a
job
and
you
know
to
have
that
to
have
that
paycheck
at
the
end.
As
mayor
Wolfe
said,
that
was
pretty
cool.
J
That
was
my
first
paycheck
to
that
job
in
the
theater
and
to
be
able
to
go-
and
you
know
do
some
stuff
you
might
want
to
do.
That
was
that
was
a
good
experience
that,
in
the
teamwork,
and
also
knowing
like
I,
was
part
of
something
that
was
helping.
Other
people
have
fun
that
you
know
people
come
into
the
theater,
that
was,
that
was
all
good
stuff.
J
So
once
I
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
Partners
HealthCare,
as
many
of
you
know,
this
is
the
organization
that
includes
Massachusetts
General
Hospital,
bringing
the
women's
hospital
Spaulding
Rehabilitation
Hospital.
So
you
may
know
the
health
centers
that
are
part
of
partners
in
charlestown,
Chelsea,
Revere
and
especially
the
ones
for
Boston,
not
just
in
Charlestown,
but
also
the
two
we
run
in
Jamaica
Plain.
We
also
help
out
with
all
the
other
health
centers
and
neighborhoods
around
the
city
working
with
our
colleagues
at
Boston
Medical
Center.
J
To
do
that,
we
are
very
committed
to
making
sure
that
we're
working
with
the
mayor
and
the
other
organizations
that
are
part
of
this
program
to
address
some
of
the
social
factors
that
affect
your
health
and
what
we
mean
by
that
is.
We
know-
and
actually
everyone
in
this
room
knows
you
guys
know
that
success
with
education
in
high
school
middle
school
before
that,
but
then
in
high
school
means
you're
more
likely
to
be
able
to
go
to
college.
J
Those
are
all
things
that
help
you
be
healthy
or
yourself
and
then,
as
you
go
ahead
to
form
families
help
you
and
your
families
be
healthier
and
that's
the
kind
of
stuff
that
that
Partners,
HealthCare
and
other
hospitals
in
the
city
want
to
be
in
are
supporting
so
picking
up
on
that
I
think
the
question
I'd
like
to
ask
is:
could
you
each
talk
with
your
with
your
neighbor
about?
What's
one
change
you
could
make
in
your
lives
to
be
healthier
as
you
as
you
go
forward
with
the
summer
and
beyond
that?
A
C
Thank
You
Yasmine
my
sister
I,
like
to
thank
everybody
in
attendance
here
today,
especially
our
keynote
speakers,
because
what
they're
showing
you
right
now
is
that
we
do
care
about
you
and
your
future
from
the
mayor
and
everyone
that
spoke
today,
cool
Darius
everybody
cares
about
turned
Daris
with
you
were
right.
We
see
something
in
you.
You
are
the
future
leaders.
C
Wonder
how
many
of
you,
when
the
mayor
said
he
was
making
doughnuts
as
a
kid
probably
thought
the
chief
cross
was
going
yet
yeah
doughnuts
does
a
macaque
right
now,
I
was
seeing
profit,
profit
margin
and
the
ability
to
capitalize
on
brothers
who
like
Donuts
right,
so
you
get
that
mindset
uv+
and
no
one
can
hold
you
back,
no
matter
where
you're
from
what
you
look
like
you're,
the
true
true
leaders.
That's
why
tatianna
my
sister,
you
rock
that
was
an
inspirational
story
and
we
really
appreciate
you.
C
C
A
Okay,
I
really
hate
to
do
this,
but
I'm
going
to
ask
everyone
to
wrap
up
I,
don't
want
to
take
the
time
to
turn
everyone's
chairs
around,
but
today
was
a
very
meaningful
day.
This
is
a
tenth
year
and
thank
you
for
taking
the
time,
in
spite
of
the
great
weather,
to
celebrate
it
here
with
us.
Thank
you
to
the
mayor
and
to
chief
barrows
and
his
administration
and
to
all
of
our
partners,
without
whom
this
would
not
be
possible,
but
I
wanted
to
really
think
Annie
DeLong
who's
back
there.
