that's

we're

and
and
and
all
of
you
I
did
that
this
could
be
very
short
speech.
I
I
promise
not
even
a
speech
fewer
mark,
but
I
did
that
because
the
the
comprehensivity
of
the
energy
and
engagement
in
this
initiative
goes
to
the
core
of
why
we
are
here.
H.L
macon
said
that
for
every
serious,
complicated
problem,
there's
always
one
neat
simple
solution,
that's
always
wrong.
We,
the
fact
of
the
matter,
is
that
if
it
was
a
serious,
complicated
problem.
I
The
challenge,
the
problem,
the
challenge,
the
fierce
responsibility
we
have
in
america
to
make
sure
that
our
children
graduate
from
high
school
requires
a
most
comprehensive
engaged,
creative
all
hands
on
deck,
whatever
it
takes
approach
and
that's
why
this
summit
is
so
important
and
we
have
made
great
progress
in
this
community
and
there
are
many
people
here
that
that
are
responsible
for
that
and
neither
zucker-
and
I
don't.
I
start
naming
people
and
I'm
gonna,
get
in
big
trouble,
but
anita
zucker
and
tad
legacy
are
two
examples:
they're
private
citizens.
I
They
are
always
there
in
any
important
education
community
initiative.
They
are
there
there
with
their
time,
their
energy,
their
leadership,
their
intellect
their
resources
and
because
of
that
and
work
of
so
many
of
you,
we
have
made
great
progress
in
in
helping
our
children
advance
in
edu
and
their
educational
system
and
providing
better
reading
and
math
skills,
food
and
clothing.
So
they
can
go
to
school
together.
I
If
you
will
and
the
wonderful
work
that
the
communities
and
schools
does
want
one
at
a
time,
one
focused
energy
commitment,
resource
building
and
the
reading
programs
and
the
mentoring
programs,
and
so
much
more
that
the
community
is
doing.
We
have
made
great
progress,
but
the
summit
is
here
and
you're
here,
because
we're
not
there.
Yet
we
have
a
ways
to
go
and
every
day
the
responsibility
for
that.
I
That
is,
a
child
graduated
from
high
school
increases,
because
every
day
it
becomes
more
difficult
for
a
person
to
have
a
happy
and
successful
life
if
they
don't
have
a
high
school
diploma
50
years
ago.
That
wasn't
the
case
25
years
ago.
That
wasn't
the
case.
That's
the
case
now
and
increasingly
will
be
so
so.
Today's
summit,
thanks
to
all
of
you,
give
us
the
the
foundational
resources
to
begin
this
next,
essentially
important
journey
and
when
the
day
is
over.
I
I
know
that
you
will
have
a
whole
new
list
or
kit
of
ideas
and
resources
and
initiatives
which
I
certainly
pledge
to
work
with.
You
on
one
suggestion
that
I
have
is,
and
mindy's
recently
throw
her
glass
water
at
me,
but
but
I
think,
every
year
it
would
be
great
if
we
get
back
together
and
just
see
how
things
are
going.
I
Don't
don't
make
this
great
initiative
and
get
going
and
then
don't
have
report
cards
see
how
we're
going
what
worked
great
last
year?
What
do
we
need
to
do
that?
We
aren't
doing
what
is
another
idea
that
a
community
or
school
district
or
our
state
had.
That
is
really
you
know,
setting
a
new
new
standard
or
opportunity.
Let
we
got
to
stick
with
this
community
always
got
to
stick
with
this.
Our
children
deserve
it.
I
J
The
law
firm
of
young
clement
rivers
has
been
serving
the
charleston
low
country
since
1968.
All
of
the
lawyers
of
young
plymouth
rivers
are
proud
to
be
partners
with
the
charleston
county
school
district.
We
are
convinced
that
the
hard
work
of
the
school
district
employees
and
staff
prepares
our
young
people
to
face
the
challenges
of
the
future.
We
look
forward
to
continuing
our
partnership
and
in
helping
the
school
district
to
meet
its
standard
of
excellence.
K
One
of
the
ways
american
america's
promise
design
keeps
us
on
track,
for
our
national
goal
is
to
focus
on
the
power
of
convening
local
communities
like
this
and
engaging
local
communities
is
what's
going
to
change
the
dynamic,
not
individuals,
but
as
a
group,
currently
one
in
five
students
does
not
graduate
from
high
school
with
their
peers
and
of
those
that
do
many
are
not
fully
prepared
for
college
for
the
careers
that
follow,
but
there
is
hope
nationally.
High
school
graduate
rates
are
increasing,
as
was
announced
earlier
this
year.
K
K
Instead,
it's
time
to
put
the
pedal
to
the
metal,
local
organizations
and
community
leaders
like
you,
are
in
the
front
lines
of
education
each
and
every
day,
and
by
bringing
these
groups
together
through
grad
nation
summits,
we
can
focus
on
finding
solutions
that
will
work
best
for
the
students
at
risk
of
dropping
out
and
each
and
e
has
a
unique
community.
This.
L
Summit's
important,
for
many
reasons,
but
one
really
stands
out.
You
as
in
a
community,
have
an
opportunity
to
examine
the
work
that
you've
been
doing
but
look
and
see
how
you
can
make
improvements
and
how
you
can
further
your
your
efforts
to
ensure
that
all
young
people
are
graduating
from
high
school
prepared
for
success.
L
Your
summit's
part
of
a
larger
national
movement
that
we've
talked
about
earlier,
the
grad
nation
campaign
in
2010.
America's
promise
launched
the
grad
nation
campaign
with
the
ambitious
goal
to
reach
a
90
graduation
rate
by
2020..
L
As
jack
mentioned,
we've
made
great
progress
as
a
nation
we're
about
80
now,
but
that
still
means
too
many
young
people
are
not
graduating
from
high
school
on
time
and
prepared
for
the
future,
and
so
there's
still
a
lot
of
work
ahead
of
us.
L
The
grad
nation
campaign
really
wouldn't
be
possible
without
the
work
of
and
dedication
of,
all
of
you
in
your
community
in
charleston
like
so
much
in
this
country,
change
happens
from
the
community
level
up
and
so
what
the
work
you're
doing
really
is
essential
to
helping
america's
promise
and
our
nation
reach
the
grad
nation
goal.
L
You
may
know
I
don't
know
how
familiar
you
are
with
america's
promise.
We
are,
the
foundation
of
our
work
really
is
based
on
what
we
call
the
five
promises,
the
five
fundamental
resources
that
we
say
that
all
young
people
need
to
succeed.
Caring
adults,
safe
places,
an
effective
education,
a
healthy
start
and
opportunities
to
serve,
and
we
know
all
the
work
that
all
of
you
are
doing
with
your
organizations
and
collectively
is
helping
to
ensure
that
all
the
young
people
in
charleston
are
receiving
these
five
promises.
L
M
Mission
is
to
support
learners
and
transform
lives
by
connecting
what
we
know
from
research,
not
only
ours,
but
the
work
of
so
many
researchers
across
the
world
with
evidence-based
solutions
and
what
we're
finding
in
the
way
of
emerging
practice.
So
it's
looking
at
what's
happening
in
the
field.
What
we
know
is
working
and
make
connections
among
those
things.
You
know
we
could
go
into
school
and
merely
say:
oh,
you
have
a
dropout
problem.
Well,
let
us
just
talk
to
your
at-risk
kids,
but
that
would
be
an
isolated
way
to
approach
it.
M
M
Are
there
rigorous
expectations
for
all
kids
and
do
all
teachers
convince
kids
that
they
too
can
learn
and
achieve
inside
their
rooms
and
is
the
climate
one
where
kids
feel
engaged
and
feel
like
I'm
important
here,
no
matter
what
the
color
of
my
skin
or
the
wealth
of
my
parents
and
are
there
supports
that
match?
What
we
know
are
the
problems
of
the
kids
inside
that
school?
Do
we
have
interventions
that
set
that
up
and
do
we
know
what
those
predictive
factors
are
under
the
individual
and
other
domains?
N
Some
problems
are
tough,
reaching
your
customers
shouldn't
be
blue,
wave
and
comcast
have
the
creative
edge
to
make
you
stand
out
from
the
crowd
and
connect
with
your
customers,
whether
you
need
a
commercial
for
television,
video
for
your
website
or
a
custom
made
website.
We
are
the
easy
solution
for
every
advertising
problem.
C
P
You
know
I
have
to
start
by
saying
that
last
night
I
had
the
pleasure
of
eating
dinner
here
at
the
restaurant,
with
the
group
of
folks,
james
among
them
and
and
mindy,
and
several
other
folks,
and
I've
never
had
shrimp
and
grits
as
good
as
the
shrimp
and
grits
that
I
had
last
night
and
I've
had
them
in
many
restaurants
across
the
country.
But
clearly
south
carolina
knows
how
to
make
shrimp
and
grits.
P
I
just
had
to
say
that
right
off
the
bat
you
know
as
as
a
foodie
and
someone
who
really
appreciates
the
character
and
historic
nature's
nature
of
communities,
I
took
time
after
dinner
and
just
walked
around
the
neighborhood
for
about
an
hour
and
a
half
or
so,
and
just
sort
of
was
struck
by
the
architecture
right
and
and
the
streets
and
and
it
was
dark
at
night,
but
just
knowing
what
an
important
place
in
history.
P
Similarly,
we
teach
children
about
whether
or
not
their
brain
is
a
muscle
or
not,
and
surprisingly
most
kids
think-
and
I
would
venture
to
guess
most
of
us
in
this
room,
as
I
did
think
that
you
either
are
born
smart
or
you're,
not
you're,
either
born
with
a
high
iq
or
you're.
Not
you
either
are
born
to
do
math
or
you're,
not
you're,
either
destined
to
become
a
powerful
person
in
the
community
or
you're
not
and
during
the
during
the
visit
at
zukor.
P
Yesterday
there
was
an
exchange
with
one
young
woman
and
I
was
struck
by
her
because
she
was
the
class.
This
was
the
classroom.
She
was
standing
in
the
far
left
corner
as
we
were
taking
lots
of
questions
and
they
asked
me
everything
from
like.
Am
I
rich?
Do
I
live
at
the
white
house?
What
do
I
do.
P
Really
an
amazing
exchange
right
and
there
were
pre-engineering
students
working
on
stem
issues
right,
many
of
which
you
know
are
just
beginning
to
imagine
what
their
lives
are
going
to
look
like,
but
in
the
corner
of
this
room
was
a
young
woman,
I'm
not
sure
if
she
was
in
sixth,
seventh
or
eighth
grade
I'd
ventured
against
she's,
probably
an
eighth
grader.
There
must
have
been
about
a
dozen
or
so
students
around
her
and
she
was
clearly
a
leader
and
she
was
a
leader
because
she
was
distracting
right.
P
She
was
having
these
little
conversations
with
folks
and
I
kept
my
eye
on
her
and
every
now
and
then
I'd
walk
over
a
little
closer
to
her
and
we
had
this
exchange
and-
and
I
I
said
to
her-
I
said-
oh
so
she
mentioned
that
she
has
she
struggles
with
her
behavior
and
I
said:
do
you
think
you
are
destined
to
be
that
way?
And,
interestingly,
some
of
her
peers
nodded?
P
Yes,
and
so
I
took
that
moment,
to
have
this
exchange
with
her-
and
I
said
well,
you
know:
do
you
think
that's
a
choice
you
make
and
she
said
no,
it's
a
choice
I
make,
and
I
talked
about
the
brain
as
a
muscle,
which
is
that
the
growing
body
of
scientists
and
research
points
us
to
the
fact
that
if
you
shift
from
a
fixed
mindset
of
doing
work
or
thinking
or
educating
children
to
a
growth
mindset,
you
could
have
remarkable
improvements
in
low-cost
ways.
Let
me
give
you
a
couple
examples.
P
So
a
a
fixed
mindset
says
that
their
beliefs
about
themselves
in
school
cannot
change
that
they
struggle
to
learn
new
things.
P
So
when
students
have
a
mindset,
they
believe
that
their
intelligence,
when
they
experience
difficulty
is,
is
something
they
cannot
overcome,
undermines
their
intelligence
right
and
their
learning,
and
this
is
all
from
a
growth
mindset,
national
study.
P
Interestingly,
in
a
growth
mindset,
they
believe
that
intelligence
can
be
developed
because
the
teachers,
their
parents
and
the
people
in
community
say
that
it
can
be
developed
so
that
muscle
can
be
flexed.
That
muscle
can
be
developed
and
learned
over
time.
The
simple
act
of
teaching
people
teaching
kids
re-teaching
us-
I
can't
do
math.
P
I
can
do
math,
I'm
not
good
at
this,
I'm
good
at
some
things
and
using
that
basic
research
and
that
basic
knowledge
to
inform
the
way
in
which
we
engage
all
children.
Imagine
what
that
would
look
like
in
your
tri-county
area
that
simple
knowledge
that
the
way
in
which
we
teach
and
honor
our
children
could
be
dramatically
improved
at
all
aspects
of
the
community
and
when
we
think
about
how
we
actually
implement
a
cradle
to
career
concept.
P
It's
every
point
in
that
continuum
that
matters
immensely
right:
prenatal
care,
the
exchange
between
the
a
loving
mother
and
the
child,
the
exchange
between
the
mother,
the
family,
the
community
and
preschool
whatever
it
is
family
based
home
base
community-based
center
base
right.
Whatever,
whatever
structure
you
have
in
your
community,
the
exchange
between
the
family
and
the
introduction
to
elementary
school,
the
transfer
between
elementary
to
middle,
the
transfer
from
middle
to
high
school
from
high
school
to
college
and
career.

The

All

We're

We

Q
Here's
a
question
for
you:
what
does
this
look
like?
It
may
look
like
a
blank
screen,
but
it's
really
an
opportunity
for
you
to
reach
your
customers
with
a
great
television,
commercial,
video
for
your
website
or
website
design,
comcast
and
blue
wave
productions
can
create
the
right
message
to
get.
You
noticed
call
today
and
take
the
opportunity
to
make
your
business
stand
out
from
the
crowd.
P
Along
the
way,
I've
met
a
couple
of
kids
and
I
wanted
to
spend
a
moment
just
lifting
up
a
couple
of
few
tidbits
of
some
of
those
children.
So
one
of
the
kids
that
I've
met
and
worked
with
is
a
little
girl
named
mindy
and
mindy
was
the
oldest
in
her
family
and
she
had
several
children.
Several
younger
brothers
and
sisters,
but
mindy
was
really
good
in
school
and
she
worked
really
hard
at
trying
to
get
access
to
after
school
programs,
but
just
didn't
have
the
money
to
get
to
and
from
a
lot
of
them.
P
There's
another
little
boy.
I've
worked
with
named
joseph
joseph
lives
in
a
family
where
alcohol
abuse
is
rampant
and
in
this
particular
family
it
goes
back.
Several
generations
and
joseph
has
really
struggled
with
trying
to
get
to
school
and
be
a
sort
of
a
happy
child
in
the
context
of
always
worrying
about
his
dad
who's.
P
An
alcoholic
I've
met
worked
with
a
little
girl
named
beth
and
beth
who
lives
in
a
family
where
domestic
violence
has
crossed
generations
and
in
her
family
beth's
family
she's,
the
one
who
has
to
call
the
police
when
her
mother
is
being
beaten
and
has
to
clean
up
the
blood
and
has
to
make
sure
that
she
can
get
her
mom.
The
right
kinds
of
services
and
beth
has
had
to
do
this.
For
a
long
time.
P
Had
a
teacher
named
mark
takeuchi
and
mr
takeuchi
made
sure
that
morris
could
get
to
the
summer
music
program
every
single
day
when
the
bus
system
wouldn't
get
him
from
his
home
to
the
school
where
the
music
program
was,
and
mr
takeuchi
picked
him
up
in
the
morning,
drove
into
the
music
program
and
drove
him
back
home
every
day
to
be
to
make
sure
that
morris
could
participate
in
that
summer
music
program
and
there's
a
little
girl
named
nancy
nancy
is
someone
who
really
worked
hard
in
school
and
was
able
to
imagine
herself
going
to
college,
but
she
was
really
ashamed
of
the
fact
that
she
had
to
ask
for
help
from
someone
to
actually
fill
out
the
fafsa
form
and
disclose
that
her
family
had
been
recipients
of
public
benefits
and
nancy
had
to
work
really
hard
to
figure
out
how
to
overcome
that
shame
in
order
to
fill
out
those
forms.
P
P
Interestingly,
I
haven't
been
completely
truthful
with
those
names,
so
I
chose
those
names
from
people
who
actually
are
in
this
room
right
now.
P
But
the
only
thing
that's
different
about
those
stories
is
that
they're
pieces
of
my
own
story.
They
are
pieces
of
my
own
personal
narrative
and
I
could
tell
you
a
whole
bunch
more
stories
about
where
those
came
from
much
the
way
in
which
I
could
tell
you
a
whole
bunch
of
stories
about
the
kids.
I
met
at
zucker
middle
school
yesterday
because
behind
the
dropout
are
stories
like
mine
behind
the
dropout
are
stories
like
yours
and,
interestingly,
all
of
those
struggles
right.
I
imagine
you
have
your
own
struggles.
P
P
Take
up
the
tools
that
you
have
available
to
you
now
today
and
lift
at
the
story
of
south
carolina
because
coming
from
the
west
coast,
I
have
a
particular
story
that
was
told
to
me
of
south
carolina,
not
the
one.
You
know,
but
imagine
for
a
second
that
if
you
use
the
tools
that
are
now
available
to
us,
twitter,
facebook,
instagram
vine,
all
those
things
that
some
of
us
sort
of
make
fun
of
right.
I
happen
to
like
them,
but
some
of
us
in
the
room,
I
know,
make
fun
of
them.
