The word that i'm holding
is urgent it's urgency
and it's urgency because
of how long we let wither on a vine
all of these young people who
leave in our urban center in the deep heart's core
who can't read who can't write and we've just said
oh well
and twenty years ago we stop saying oh well and we decided we would do
something about it and
the time frame
had to be short
we couldn't let another hundred and fifty years go by
and moved quickly this is year twenty of
our working with charter schools it's year twelve of the building excellent
schools
fellowship and now the excellent schools network which is uh... a wonderful
component of the fellowship
and it's such exciting times
it's exciting it's entrepreneurial and i know the word
can sometimes be overused
oh these few entrepreneurs have
excited our interest and have told us
new things but when you
blend
the entrepreneurial spirit with the urgency of this situation
it's at team they can't be made, you just can't beat it
beacause it is
it is the path to the future and when we talk about the future when i'm talking
about
is transforming children's lives.
