We want to see what our education can change, and in that I want to say that you know I did give recognition to you as heading up the stepping up initiative and, and also commissioner Williams, but who I failed to recognize and I think is most important, the who I should be thanking the most is people such as miss character, yes, someone who has gone through it, someone who has benefited from the education, she's benefited from the change and she's out there and she's advocating and she's putting the message out that there is hope, you know, and there is light at the end of the tunnel.
