From YouTube: BPS Hubweek Kickoff Event
Description
What if long extinct animals really could be brought back to life? The next generation of Boston students could find a way. To kick off this year's HUBWeek at Faneuil Hall, BPS and Vertex Pharmaceuticals encourage Boston's students to test the limits of science.
A
It
is
now
my
pleasure
to
introduce
the
CEO
of
vertex
dr.
Jeff
Lydon
who's
here
with
us
today.
It
is
thanks
to
vertexes
generosity
that
the
book
was
distributed
to
Boston
Public
Schools,
and
he
has
an
other
incredible
programs
that
he's
done
as
well.
I've
had
the
privilege
of
touring
the
labs
that
he's
built
in
the
vertex
building
that
are
just
extraordinary
that
he's
up
opened
up
to
Boston,
Public,
Schools
and
I
hope.
Some
of
you
had
the
chance
to
check
that
out
as
well.
So
dr.
A
Lydon
is
the
chairman
president
and
CEO
of
vertex
Pharmaceuticals
he's
a
physician
and
scientist
who,
for
the
last
30
years,
has
dedicated
his
career
to
improving
the
lives
of
people
with
serious
diseases.
His
experience
spans
all
aspects
of
the
biotech
and
pharmaceutical
industries.
He
began
his
career
in
academia
as
a
molecular
biologist
and
a
practicing
cardiologist
he's
been
involved
in
starting
several
biotech
companies,
including
McHale
and
cardio
gene.
He
served
as
president
of
Abbott
Laboratories.
A
We
had
the
responsibilities
of
running
their
general,
their
Global
pharmaceuticals
business,
and
he
has
served
where,
while
there
he
was
served
in
the
development
of
launch
of
multiple
breakthrough
medicines,
one
of
them
for
rheumatoid
arthritis
and
another
for
HIV
infection
under
dr.
Biden's
leadership
at
vertex.
They
have
delivered
the
first
and
only
precision
medicines
to
treat
the
underlying
causes
of
cystic
fibrosis.
It
is
his
mission
and
the
basis
of
the
company's
research
priorities
to
bring
transformative
medicines
to
people
with
cystic
fibrosis
and
other
serious
diseases.
During
his
first
years,
CEO
dr.
A
B
This
is
the
most
exciting
time
in
Boston
that
I've
ever
seen,
because
there's
more
happening
in
science
in
art,
in
education
than
there's
ever
been
here,
and
obviously
that's
great
news
for
you,
because
it
means
the
opportunities
for
all
of
you
are
only
going
to
get
greater
we're
going
to
talk
about
that.
A
little
bit
I'm
sure
the
mayor
will
talk
about
that
too,
when
he
gets
here.
B
I
wanted
to
start
by
thanking
a
number
of
people
who
made
this
all
possible
first
of
all,
Linda
Henry,
because
what
hub
week
is
really
all
about
is
celebrating
all
these
fantastic
things
that
are
going
on
in
Boston
and
making
sure
that
everybody
has
a
chance
to
enjoy
them
and
Linda
had
the
vision
several
years
ago
to
understand
the
importance
of
that
for
our
city
for
all
of
you,
but
also
for
all
the
adults
and
buses.
So
Linda.
Thank
you
for
all.
You
do
for
hub
week.
B
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor,
but
I'll
wait
till
he
gets
here
to
give
him
a
special
thanks,
but
the
mayor
has
been
the
number
one
supporter
of
education
in
the
city
and
has
been
the
number
one
supporter
of
the
innovation
economy
in
the
city.
You
wouldn't
all
be
here
without
the
mayor's
support
over
many
years,
I'll
introduce
him
in
a
minute.
I
hear
he's
outside
doing
some
television
interviews
and
then
superintendent
Chang
who's
here
and
who
seems
to
be
here
for
every
major
public
school
event
in
the
city.
B
B
So
we'll
see
if
you
recognize
any
of
these
things,
so
all
right!
This
is
the
first
thing:
how
did
we
listen
to
music
when
I
was
a
kid?
Anybody
know
what
that
is
our
record?
How
many
of
you
have
record
players
really
a
couple
of
you
very
good:
I!
Don't
have
a
record
player
anymore,
but
I
used.
If
thousands
of
these
that
was
sit
in
boxes
and
you
put
them
on
the
record
player,
then
they
get
scratched
and
they'd
skip
over
and
over
and
over
again
that's
how
we
first
listen
to
music.
B
B
B
What
how
did
science
advanced
all
this
technology?
Who
else?
What
were
the
inventions
that
led
to
this?
How
at
the
Internet?
How
about
transistors
and
solid-state
storage
devices?
Right?
That's
all
science
that
was
all
done
right
here
across
the
river
at
MIT
and
then
turned
in
to
these
things.
So
science
really
changed
our
world
in
this
way.
Right
so
related
thing.
Anybody
know
what
this
is
probably
haven't.
Seen
one
of
these
for
a
while
yeah
telephone
anybody
have
one
of
those
it
looks
like
this
in
their
house.
Oh,
come
on.
I!
B
Don't
actually
believe
that
anybody
has
one
that
looks
like
this
in
their
house,
but
now
right
and
by
the
way
this
used
to
have
a
wire
that
came
out
the
back
right.
He
had
to
plug
it
into
your
wall
and
when
I
was
growing
up,
we
had
one
of
these
in
in
my
house,
and
so
when
my
girlfriend
would
call
me
my
mom
would
be
sitting
there
and
I'd
be
talking
on
the
phone.
You
could
imagine
how
much
fun
that
was
right,
because
she
could
listen
to
everything.
B
I
was
saying
so
now
again
we
got
these
and
you
can
go
outside
and
talk
to
your
girlfriend
or
boyfriend
or
significant
other,
and
it's
a
lot
easier
and
more
fun.
Your
mom
can't
really
hear
what's
going
on,
don't
tell
her
I
said
that
then
I
want
to
show
you
one
more
way.
Scientists
change
their
well,
it's
a
little
more
subtle,
but
it's
the
way
we
use
science
at
vertex,
or
they
use
science
and
other
companies
to
make
new
medicines
right.
B
This
is
a
medicine
that
Linda
was
talking
about
called
kalida
Co
that
we
made
a
vertex
several
years
ago,
and
the
reason
that
it's
important
from
a
science
standpoint
is
because
there's
thousands
of
kids
around
the
world
who
have
cystic
fibrosis,
which
is
a
terrible
disease
and
anybody
know,
have
a
friend
or
a
neighbor
who
has
cystic
fibrosis
here
back
there.
It's
a
disease
of
kids
actually
and
it
takes
over
their
whole
family.
B
They
need
to
have
treatments
three
or
four
hours
a
day
every
single
day
and
it
affects
their
ability
to
play
sports
and
go
to
school,
and
it
really
wasn't
a
good
treatment
until
about
five
years
ago,
when
scientists
out
in
San
Diego
at
vertex
came
up
with
this
pill
and
the
reason
it's
so
cool
is
because
it
targets
the
underlying
genetic
cause
of
this
disease.
The
disease
you
inherit
from
your
mom
and
dad
and
these
scientists
figured
out
the
gene.
B
Oh
the
genomic
sequence,
just
like
you
were
hearing
about
from
the
woolly
mammoth
except
this
was
the
gene
that
causes
cystic
fibrosis
and
then
they
designed
a
custom-made
medicine
that
those
kids
could
take
that
actually
reverses
the
course
of
their
disease.
So
those
kids
can
live
normal
lives,
they
go
to
school,
they
play
sports,
etc,
and
that's
just
five
years
old.
So
science
really
has
changed
the
world
over
the
last
30
or
40
years,
and
the
really
cool
part
is
the
science
is
only
accelerating.
B
You
just
heard
that
from
the
from
the
genome
project
and
others,
and
so
you're
gonna
have
the
chance
to
lead
the
next
revolutions
in
science,
whether
they're
communications
devices
or
space
devices
or
new
medicines
or
new
therapies.
You're
gonna
make
those
not
not
be
here
David
or
any
of
the
folks
in
this
room,
the
older
folks
in
this
room.
So
that
leads
to
my
second
message,
which
is
there's
a
huge
opportunity
for
all
of
you
to
participate
in
this
revolution.
B
B
We
can
do
internships
at
companies
like
vertex
or
Biogen,
or
some
of
the
other
physics
companies
here
it's
by
actually
finding
some
of
those
opportunities
that
are
all
around
you
and
talking
to
those
of
us
that
want
to
make
those
want
to
make
those
opportunities
available
to
you.
So
I
really
encourage
you
to
do
that.
I
think
the
next
20
years
are
going
to
be
even
more
exciting
in
science.
B
So
that's
all
I
want
to
say,
because
my
main
job
is
to
introduce
the
mayor
and,
as
I
said
mayor
Marty
Walsh
has
been
the
proponent
of
Education
STEM
education
in
science
over
the
last
number
of
years
in
the
city
he's
supported
the
summer
jobs
program,
which
now
has
thousands
of
students
all
of
you
going
to
summer
jobs
and
internships.
He
supported
Boston,
Public,
School,
System
programs
in
science,
technology
engineering
and
math.
It's
my
pleasure
to
introduce
our
mayor,
Marty
Walsh.
C
Thank
you,
Jeff
all
right,
you
know
it's
pretty
sad
and
makes
me
feel
real
old.
Every
single
thing
that
Jeff
held
up
is
something
and
I
used.
We
had
the
the
radio
which
was
incredible
actually
I
read.
It
was
bigger.
It
was
like,
like
this
big
I
know.
If
you
ever
saw
the
movie
the
wedding
singer,
I
think
it
was
in
it.
C
They
you
know,
guy
who
carry
around
the
big
box,
and
then
the
telephone
was
yeah
one
phone
with
the
rotary
number,
and
if
you
made
a
mistake,
get
this
out
all
over
again,
it
was
awful
but
I'm.
Thank
you,
Jeff
for
for
what
you
do
with
our
city.
Thank
You
Linda,
congratulations
on
another
great
week
here
we're
excited
about
it
and
then
thank
you
and
David.
Thank
you
and
in
commissioner
them.
It's
superintendent!
C
Thank
you
very
much
as
well
to
the
young
people
in
this
room
when
I
think
about
Boston
when
I
think
about
where
we
are
today.
You
are
living
in
a
unique
time
and
because
you
really
have
an
opportunity
with
technology
has
changed
the
way
the
world
happens
on
everything
we
do,
and
everything
is
so
much
faster
that
telephone
when
it
was
invented,
stayed
that
way
for
almost
100
years,
actually
not
quite
hundred
years
about
80
years.
It
was
a
cord
coming
from
the
wall,
it
was,
it
was
a
dial
and
then
we
got
push
button.
C
C
It's
her
idea
and
hub
week
is
really
an
opportunity
of
us
to
kind
of
show
on
what's
going
on
in
Boston,
but
for
you,
as
students
in
our
city,
you
have
an
opportunity
to
see
firsthand
the
way,
the,
how
quickly
life
changes
and
to
make
connections
that
will
help
you
in
your
life
and
move
you
along
fast.
So
that's
why
I
mean
by
living
in
interesting
times
the
technology
and
we
were
changing
in
Boston,
so
I
want
to
congratulate
all
of
you
for
being
here
today.
C
C
Anyone
here
from
Madison,
Park,
Madison
Park,
okay,
three
years
ago
when
I
became
Mara,
bust
and
I
put
in
my
office
was
called
digital
dashboards,
and
my
digital
dashboard
is
for
these
boards
like
this,
and
they
have
all
kinds
of
numbers
on
it
and
at
the
same
time
we
were
seeing
and
hearing
from
the
media
about
Madison
Park
being
the
school.
That's
underperforming
because
of
the
grades
in
there.
So
we're
hearing
the
negative
side
at
Madison,
Park
I
had
six
kids
from
Madison
Park.
They
actually
came
into
my
office
that
helped
wire
these
boards.
C
So
when
you
see
the
digital
dashboard
of
my
office,
it
was
the
kids
from
Boston
Public
Schools
that
did
that.
Why
those
boys
they
could
have
been
from
the
O'bryant
they
could
have
been
from
Madison
Park.
They
could
be
from
the
burr
that
could
be
from
other
schools,
but
they
were
from
bps.
So
when
you
think
about
the
future
of
our
city,
you
are
the
future
of
our
city.
Now
this
is
pretty
exciting
who's
excited
about
any.
C
No,
you
did,
did
you
ask
Linda
Henry
any
questions
right
if
you
get
a
chance,
just
just
for
the
record,
don't
tell
anyone,
she
did
they
own
the
Red
Sox
in
the
globe.
So
you
know
all
right
all
right.
Questions
for
me.
I
have
a
whole
bunch
of
notes,
I'm
supposed
to
read
and
I,
don't
know
if,
like
reading
the
notes,
I
think
you
guys
are
like
what
are
you
talking
about
any
questions
for
me?
Yes,
what?
How
is
it
to
be
a
man
being
mayor
is
a
pretty
awesome.
Awesome
thing
every
day
is
different.
C
Some
days
are
tough
and
some
days,
some
minutes
of
stuffin
some
days
of
fine
I
love
being
the
mayor
of
Boston.
When
you
get
a
chance
to
talk
about
how
great
our
city
is
and
how
great
the
kids
in
our
city
are
and
how
great
things
are
going,
it's
tough
when
I
have
to
talk
about
the
challenges
of
violence
and
crime
in
our
neighborhoods.
C
A
lot
of
you
guys
know
that
I
love
being
able
to
tell
success
stories
of
helping
young
people
get
into
recovery,
and
it's
sad
to
see
those
stories
of
kids
that
are
addicted
and
die,
I
mean
so
being
the
mayor
is
kind
of
like
being
a
student
in
school
that,
if
I
do
my
homework
I'm
prepared
for
the
day
ahead,
then
I'll
be
okay,
but
if
I
don't
prepare
for
the
day
ahead,
it
makes
it
for
a
long
day.
So
it's
a
fun
job
I'd
suggest
doing
something.
Yeah.
C
If
I
weren't
me,
what
would
I
be
great
question
if
I
weren't
Mirai
I
would
probably
be
working
in
in
the
trades
working
representing
building
trade
unions
in
Boston?
But
if
you
ask
me
a
question,
what
would
you
like
to
be
other
than
a
mayor?
My
question
would
be
I'd,
probably
love
I'd
love
to
be
a
principal
at
a
high
school
and
I'd
like
to
be
principal
to
high
school
with
it's.
It's
not
a
smooth
school
like
every
O'brien
kids.
Here,
all
right,
yeah
I
know
not
at
school
like
guys
that
want
some
challenges.
C
You
know,
yeah
I
know
there's
some
challenger,
but
still
because
I
think
that
I
love
I
love
dealing
with
young
people,
because
you
were
the
future.
You
were
the
future
right
about
now
when
I
was
in
high
school,
probably
10th,
11th
12th
grade
I
started
to
think
I
wanted
to
be
in
politics
and
and
I
started
to
think
and
honestly.
The
reason
why
I
want
to
be
a
politics-
and
this
is
a
true
story.
C
My
uncle
was
running
for
a
Union
position
and
his
name
was
on
the
bumper
sticker
and
I
thought
it
was
the
coolest
thing
so
I
said,
someday
I
want
my
name
on
a
bumper
sticker.
That's
how
I
got
sad
in
this
thing.
So
that's
so
when
you
become
a
teenager,
that's
when
your
brain
starts
to
really
think
about
who
you
are
as
a
person
down
the
road
now
you're
gonna
make
mistakes
and
that
that
that
you're
gonna
make
mistakes
in
life
and
like
I
made
mistakes.
C
C
I
am
I,
am
sad.
I
am
sad
that
the
President
of
the
United
States
of
America
reacts
like
he
does
in
so
many
different
issues
and
what
I?
What
I
mean
by
that
is
I,
didn't
vote
for
him
and
I
didn't
support
him,
meaning
I've
only
wrote
it
for
Democratic
candidates
in
my
life,
but
I'm
really
sad
because
I
don't
know
if
he
understands
the
magnitude
of
his
hate
and
his
hurtfulness
I
am
a
son
of
immigrants,
my
mother
and
father
immigrants
from
Ireland.
C
When
Irish
people
came
here
in
the
turn
of
the
century,
from
19
to
xx
and
when
the
Italians
came
here
and
the
Jewish
people
came
here,
they
weren't
wanted
here.
People
didn't
want
them
here,
the
same
rhetoric
that
immigrants
hearing
today
they
heard
back.
Then,
when
you
tweet
insults
at
people,
other
elected
officials
or
what
have
you
it's?
C
It's
a
bad
message
to
send
I
respect
the
office
of
President,
because
it's
the
highest
office
highest
office
in
the
land
and
in
the
president,
our
country,
somebody
that
we
really
should
respect
but
I
have
a
really
hard
time
to
say
those
same
words
in
a
sentence
with
the
current
president,
because
I
don't
think
he
respects
his
people
or
in
this
country
and
I.
Think
it's
unfortunate
and
I'm
going
to
continue
to
fight
against
them.
C
C
C
Where
do
I
see
us
five
years
from
now
I
see
us
I
see
us
a
city,
that's
had
its
gonna
have
over
700,000
people
living
in
it,
and
that
will
be
the
largest
population
we've
had
in
our
city
since
the
1960s
right
now,
our
graduation
rate
in
Boston
public
high
schools
is
seventy
two
point.
Four
percent
I'm
gonna
come
back
to
that
in
a
second
the
highest
in
the
history
of
Boston.
C
We
can't
celebrate
seventy
two
percent
graduation
rate,
because
that
means
that
this
twenty-eight
percent
of
the
kids
are
not
graduating,
so
what's
happening
there
I'll
come
back
to
that
in
a
second
I
think
we
I
think
we
have
incredible
growth
in
our
city
and
I.
Think
events
like
this
week
hub
week
and
we
had
last
weeks
ago,
the
Forbes
on
the
thirty
conference
I
think
the
more
we
can
have.
Events
like
this
and
celebrate
the
promotion
of
our
city.
Think
about
this.
C
C
Most
cities
in
America
would
die
to
have
a
right
go
to
the
bottom
MIT
which
technically
isn't
Boston,
but
his
next-door
I
mean
having
that
relationship
having
that
school
in
in
our
city,
along
with
Harvard
University
and
and
to
jump
on
that
we
have
26
college
unit
college
in
universities
in
Boston
itself,
and
we
have
75
in
the
Greater
Boston
area.
We
have
the
best
Hospital.
C
That's
called
universities
in
the
country
right
here
in
Boston,
so
that's
going
to
help
us
add
to
being
who
we
are,
and
then
you
get
the
other
globe
the
globe
in
Mass,
General,
Hospital's,
obviously
in
the
media
outlets
and
being
be
important,
a
part
of
it.
So
to
talk
about
the
city,
we
are
going
to
be
in
five
years,
we're
going
to
be
in
a
very
strong
position
to
be
successful.
What
can
you
do
with
high
school
students?
C
Well,
let
me
just
say
this
to
you:
there's
a
couple
things
that
I
need
your
help
with
number
one:
the
seventy
two
point:
six
percent
graduation
rate
in
Boston,
it's
the
highest
in
the
history
of
Boston,
those
twenty
eight
percent
of
the
kids
that
drop
out
of
schools.
Are
your
friends
they're,
your
friends?
You
need
to
talk
to
them
about
keeping
them
in
school.
C
You
need
to
talk
to
them
about
putting
them
on
a
pathway
to
success
when
I
graduated
high
school
I
barely
got
out
of
high
school,
like
I,
literally
barely
got
out
of
high
school.
The
only
reason
why
I
graduated,
because
I
was
afraid
of
my
mama,
because
I
was
not
a
good
student.
I
went
to
Quincy
junior
college
for
a
year
after
that,
I
got
my
grades
up
and
then
I
went
to
Suffolk
University
and
then
I
dropped
out
of
school,
but
I
didn't
think
I
needed
at
the
time
was
a
mistake.
C
C
If
something.
If
somebody
sent
me
in
this
hall,
when
I
was
a
junior
in
high
school
and
they
point
to
me
and
said,
you
know,
mighty
Walsh,
the
mayor
of
Boston,
someday
I,
would
have
my
yeah
right
because
I
wasn't
focused
on
it.
You
just
don't
know
who's
in
this
room.
You
might
have
a
president
of
vertex
pharmaceutical
or
tech.
You
might
have
a
president
of
of
the
Boston
Globe.
You
might
have
the
mayor
of
Boston.
You
might
have
the
president
say
it's
America
in
this
room
right
now,
so
you
don't
know
so.
C
Some
of
them
are
dead,
so
I'm
homeless
today
and
some
of
them
are
in
jail
and
that's
a
real
situation.
I
just
ask
you
in
your
way
home
today
when
you
walk
home
wherever
you
live,
doesn't
matter
the
neighborhood
watch
for
our
freeze
or
any
neighborhood
like
that,
it's
not
immune
to
it.
Look
at
the
people
in
the
corner.
Look
at
somebody's
drinking
out
of
a
brown
paper
bag.
They
didn't
wake
up
one
day
in
high
school
and
said
you
know
what
I
want
to
do
versus
my
life.
C
C
C
C
Whose
shares
nice
and
we
do
play,
what
do
you
play
your
best
boy?
Oh
you,
okay,
so
the
question
is
I'm.
Gonna
paraphrase
the
question
a
little
bit:
it's
it's!
How
come
how
come
we're
not
consistent
across
the
board
when
it
comes
to
sports
and
facilities
and
arts
and
facilities
and
programming
in
every
school?
And
why
do
we
only
focus
on
some
of
the
schools
that
are
in
trouble
and
kind
of
give
them
extra
money?
So
we
can
focus
on
those
different,
different
programs
to
bring
them
up
and
we
take
away
from
other
places
right.
C
Basically,
you
know
one
of
the
one
of
the
hot
things
we
have
is
being
being
the
mayor
of
Boston,
not
say
hard.
It's
not
hard.
One
of
the
more
complicated
issues
we
have
to
deal
with
is
education
and
is
making
sure
that
we
continue
to
have
in
our
classrooms
all
the
programs
that
need
to
happen.
We
don't
have
enough
programs
in
our
schools
for
our
young
people,
we
don't
have
us.
We
have
Boston
Arts
Academy
and
that's
our
answer
to
the
arts
program.
C
Meanwhile,
there's
probably
a
brilliant
artist
at
the
O'brien
sitting,
the
O'brien
waiting
to
be
found
and
discovered
and
I
think
that
there's
an
opportunity
I
think
that's
something
that
we'll
myself
and
dr.
Tommy
Chang
and
the
school
committees
were
working
on
and
hopefully,
over
the
next
few
years,
we'll
be
able
to
change
that
whole
dynamic
we
want
to.
We
want
to
be
able
to
bring
a
school
system
to
Boston
that
we
can
give
all
of
the
young
people
the
opportunities
in
the
individual
schools
bill,
bps.
Okay,
that's
a
plan
that
we
launched
last
year.
C
We're
gonna,
make
a
billion
dollar
investments
in
schools
and
build
new
schools
in
Boston.
What
we
have
to
do
is
build
new
schools
with
space
in
there
for
all
the
programs
and
I
think
so
that's
part
of
what
we
have
to
do.
We
have
some
work
to
do
on
it.
I'd
suggest
that
I
want
you
to
first
of
all
a
new
gym
and
when
you
get
in
touch
with
me
on
that
we'll
talk
about,
will
you
play
a
home
game
system
nice
gyms?
In
Boston?
C
E
C
Know
I
do,
but
you
have
to
learn
all
those
all
those
things
that
you're
learning
in
school
too,
even
though
like
when
I
took
out
during
geometry,
I
go
into
my
geometry
class
and
say
my
teacher
like
I'm,
never
going
to
use
this
ever
again
and
then
they
would
explain
to
me.
Well,
it's
gonna
come
in
handy
too
as
later
on
down
the
road,
and
they
were
right
now.
I
was
wrong
because
I
thought
I
knew
it
all
some
of
those
some
of
those
curriculum
that
you
want
to
jump
on
this
right
on.
F
Want
to
encourage
you
and
I
just
say
this:
at
the
beginning,
I
talked
about
how
school
II
is
changing.
It's
evolving.
You
still
go
like
a
biology
class
and
the
English
class
and
the
science
class
you're
not
seeing
like
how
these
subjects
are,
connecting
how
they're
being
relevant-
and
it
just
seems
like
you're,
just
learning
a
bunch
of
information.
You
don't
know
how
you
apply.
It
is
that
all
those
services
so
I
encourage
you
to
do
something
this
summer
and
will
help
you
and
I
know.
F
The
mayor
person
will
help
you
when
I
get
yours
awesome
summer
opportunity
a
summer
job
where
you're
going
to
learn
those
skills.
You
may
figure
out
how
you
can
apply
what
you're
learning
in
school,
but
you'll
also
pick
up
a
lot
of
skills
such
as
right
resumes.
How
do
you
have
a
conversation
with
an
adult
and
be
able
to
advocate
for
something
for
yourself
in
the
future?
And
so,
while
we
connect
them.
C
I
agree
with
you
the
basic
skills
of
learning,
how
to
write
a
resume
I
got.
We
did
that
in
high
school
learning.
Those
basic
fundamentals,
not
that
we
even
say
the
basic
they're
complicated
in
some
cases
we
should
be
looking
I'm
surprised,
you
don't
have
an
officer
resource,
a
resource
office
at
the
O'brien
that
deals
with
that
and
works
for
that.
So
I'm
gonna
look
into
that
right.
C
Now,
we'll
look
into
that
and
see
how
we
can
get
some
program
because
that's
all
important
stuff
and
part
of
what
the
superintendent
said
about
summer
jobs
is
how
many
of
you
had
summer
jobs
this
summer.
How
many
of
you
had
summer
drop
in
a
private
with
a
private
company
in
this
summer?
So
you
had
you
get
some
good
experiences.
Well,
how
many
did
summer
jobs
like
we
thought
with
the
city
of
Boston
this
summer?
Okay,
so
see
you
some
good
experiences.
We
get
to
talk
about
more
about
those
experiences
as
well.
Alright,
yes,.
C
Yeah
we're
gonna
I'm,
not
big
into
letting
people
out,
not
having
lunch
I'm
big
until
keep
everyone
in
the
school
learning
as
long
as
possible,
because
I've
been
in
high
school.
Yes,
some
of
my
high
school's
lunch
is
awful.
We
changed
this.
We
changed
the
vendor,
though
there's
a
food
still
terrible,
come
on
you
serious.
C
G
Why
did
you
cancel
like
oh
I?
Don't
know
it's
dr.
chein
did
this
or,
but
why
did
you
cancel
like?
Why
do
I
like?
Why
do
we
have
to
like
take
the
tea
because
I
live
so
far
away
from
my
school
like
I'm,
a
dream?
Okay,
so
like
it
takes
like
a
whole
hour
and
like
I
was
going
to
class
late
and
everything-
and
it's
like
so
tell.
C
Let
me
that's
really
not
just
this
year
every
year.
That's
the
one
thing
we're
actually
looking
at
right:
we're
looking
at
we're.
Gonna
start
science,
high
schools,
but
just
remember
this-
those
of
you
that
have
after
school
drums
and
those
of
you
that
play
sports.
If
we
start
school
later
much
later
in
the
day,
that's
gonna
take
away
from
some
of
that
time
after
school.
C
So
we
have
to
be
very
careful
that,
if
you're
playing
on
the
basketball
team
or
if
you're
on
a
National,
Honor,
Society
and
you're
doing
some
debate
bait
classes,
things
like
that,
we
got
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
need
to
fear
with
that
stuff,
because
that's
important
for
you
as
well.
Education
is
really
important,
but
having
those
extra
curricular
is
important
as
well
as
far
as
school
buses,
we
didn't
take
anything
away.
C
I
mean
the
school
bus
is
still
available
for
kids
that
are
from
kindergarten
to
sixth
grade
seventh
through
twelfth
is
taking
public
transportation.
Unless
is,
unless
is
a
situation
where
somebody's
afraid
to
take
the
train
or
a
safety
situation
when
I
was
in
high
school?
We
took
the
train,
so
I
think
high
school
students
at
the
Gihon
handle
it
just
kick
up
a
little
earlier.
It's
like
getting
a
job
when
you
have
a
job
you
getting
up
early,
sometimes
I
know
I
feel
terrible.
G
F
C
Yeah,
let
me
I
can
look
into
see
exactly
what
the
situation
with
the
supplies
are.
We
just
put
together
a
fund
that
was
for
that
reason
to
let
teachers
to
be
able
to
buy
new
supplies,
new
new
furniture
in
the
schools,
it's
a
13
million.
All
the
fun
that
day
and
evening
was
just
brand
new
this
year
in
the
budget,
so
they'll
be
able
to
attach
that
money.
For
that,
and
the
second
thing
is
what
we're
doing
the
way
that
way
that
some
money
works
in
the
schools
is
money
follows
enrollment.
C
So
when
you
have
money
Falls
our
students,
so
one
of
the
things
we
got
to
do
is
can
encourage
more
people
when
they
graduate
eighth
grade
to
stay
in
the
Boston
Public
Schools
and
go
on
to
high
school.
So
we
can
fill
our
high
schools
with
kids.
We're
gonna
continue
to
work
on
those.
So
that's
part
of
the
reason
to
that
some
people
leave
the
district
in
high
school
to
go
to
private
school.
They
go
to
other
districts.
We
got
to
keep
them
in
that
more
money
we'll
go
to
school,
but
yeah.
C
C
Most
important
things:
okay
number
one
is
real
important
to
have.
You
have
your
education
to
be
able
to
set
an
example
by
telling
people
that
you
have
your
degree.
Your
high
school
degree,
college
degree
I.
Think
that's
important!
I
want
to
path
to
college
late.
I
got
my
degree
from
Boston
College
at
the
age
of
40
and
I.
Think
the
fact
that
I
had
my
degree
helped
me
in
the
race,
because
people
kept
in
a
way
to
go
to
school
and
I,
told
them
I.
Think
that's
important,
I
think
number
two.
C
You
have
to
be
a
really
good
listener.
When
you're
in
politics,
you
can't
know
everything.
You
can't
expect
to
know
everything
you
shouldn't
act
like
you
know
everything
you
should
listen
to
people,
because
oftentimes
you'll
learn
by
listening.
It's
like
being
in
school
like
you
might.
If
you
listen
to
the
teacher
and
you
truly
listen
to
the
teacher
you'll
learn
more
and
in
politics.
If
you
truly
listen
to
somebody
you'll
be
able
to
learn
more
in
three
hard
work,
you
have
to
be
want
to
work
hard
long
hours.
C
You
know
getting
up
early
learning
reading
paying
attention.
So
those
are
kind
of
three
of
the
three
of
their
other
ones
and
then
be
nice
to
people.
You
know
if
you're
in
high
school
right
now
and
you
want
to
be
in
politics
and
you're
picking
on
somebody,
you
don't
know,
what's
gonna
happen
like
somewhere
down
the
road
you
can
be
like
running
for
mayor
and
city
council
and
saying
you
know,
you
know
Tommy
channeling,
your
endorsement
I'm,
like
oh,
you
picked
on
me
when
I
was
in
ninth
grade
I'm,
not
gonna,
be
with
you.
C
C
Let
me
just
say
this
to
you:
when
I
graduate
high
school
I
apply
for
Suffolk
University
I
didn't
get
in,
my
GPA
was
horrible.
My
GPA
was
probably
the
worst
of
everyone
in
this
room
and
I
want
to
go
to
college.
So
what
I
did
is
I
signed
up
for
Quincy,
Junior,
College
and
I
did
a
year
there
and
I
realized
when
I
was
in
college
I'm
like
wow
I
could
do
the
work.
I'm,
not
a
dummy,
cuz
I
thought.
There's
something
wrong
me.
C
I'm,
like
I,
can
do
the
work
and
I
got
my
grades
up
to
the
point
where
Suffolk
accepted
me
the
next
year
and
I
got
into
Suffolk
University.
So
my
advice
to
you
is:
if
you
want
to
go
to
a
school,
let's
say
your
school
is
Boston
College
or
your
school
is
Boston
University
and
your
grades
don't
work
for
that.
Go
sit
with
this
counselor
over
there
and
ask
them
what
will
it
take
for
me
to
get
into
your
school
next
year
and
they
will
say
to
you.
This
is
what
you
need
to
do.
C
College
is
completely
different
than
high
school.
It's
completely
different
experience.
It's
completely
different
pace
it
you
have
to
work
hard
in
it,
but
you
can
really
do
a
lot
of
good.
So,
whatever
your
school
is,
you
want
to
get
into
if
you
don't
get
into
it,
don't
get
disappointed,
don't
get
discouraged,
shoot
for
the
air
for
that
school
and
get
a
plan,
and
you
want
how
to
get
into
your
school.
Yes,.
D
C
Haven't
read
the
book
yet,
but
I
know
that
you're
gonna
talk
about
it
and
I
need
to
get
a
copy
of
the
book,
because
I
do
have
notes
saying
about
the
book.
So
I
probably
should
read
the
book
before
I
come
over
today.
So
I
can't
even
comment
on
the
book,
but
you're
gonna
talk,
I,
think
your
turn
yeah
yeah,
we'll
like
that
all
right.
One
last
question:
yes,.
C
C
All
right,
anyone
else,
alright,
listen!
Well.
Just
thank
you
for
coming
out
today.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
to
come
in
today
and
I
just
want
you
remember.
Whatever
your
dreams
are
in
life,
follow
them
pursue
them.
Don't
let
anyone
talk
you
out
of
them,
because
everyone
that
does
anyone
that's
successful
in
life
in
that
success?
Does
it
mean
that
success
could
be
a
mother
like
my
mother
and
father
who
came
to
this
country,
my
mother?
C
Basically,
when
she
worked,
she
was
a
housekeeper
for
a
long
time
and
she
took
care
of
older
people
and
she
her
dream
was
to
come
to
America
and
some
money
back
home.
Should
she
fulfill
that
so
I
want
you
want
to
pursue
your
dreams,
pursue
whatever
they
are.
I
want
to
thank
these
folks
on
the
front
row
for
putting
this
on
today.
In
this
week
it's
gonna
be
pretty
awesome
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
so
much
mr.
mayor,
we
are
so
lucky
to
have
mayor
Walsh
as
our
mayor,
because
he's
been
a
visionary
for
this
city,
not
only
focusing
on
our
schools
and
our
housing,
but
just
making
this
a
place.
That
is
where
the
future
can
be
built
by
all
in
a
very
inclusive
way.
So
thank
you
so
much.
This
has
been
great.
Thank
all
of
you
I
hope
to
see
you
this
week
at
events
all
throughout
how
we
enjoy
thanks
for
joining
us
today.
