00:00:05.140 - 00:00:24.870

I was doing odd jobs. I plan to go to school through the Gi bill but then I didn't know what I was going to really study. So I got into this program and like I said, you know you can't really not like working with Children. It's

00:00:25.420 - 00:00:44.390

you have to have patience. But you know I really like it. So I'm enrolled in san Francisco state now. Start classes today and I plan to major in uh social welfare education and child growth and development. And uh someday we have master teacher possible. Uh Well

00:00:44.390 - 00:00:59.230

you have how many hours you have to put in on the child care center start. Uh We'll put in six hours and the program is set up where uh we will be permitted to go to school also. Oh but what the press release says that with

00:00:59.240 - 00:01:20.610

this program, the welfare rolls will be slightly trimmed. Can you explain how that works? Well we're working now and that's the really main part of it right there. Well when you when you say welfare trimmed, when you think of 46 people that will have jobs, I

00:01:20.620 - 00:01:35.550

think that's an honor for the welfare and anybody else. But I think it's a great honor for these people that they can say I have it myself and I don't have to wait for a handout. You see one of the requirements that none of these people

00:01:35.550 - 00:01:56.640

were employed prior to entering this program and it is rather significant that we had At least 250 people I imagine who applied for these 48 positions. And again, just bringing in a community aspect of it, the community cleaning the subcommittee which mrs Freeman headed up, did

00:01:56.650 - 00:02:12.870

the interviewing. They did they're interviewing the the selection, you know, and you can imagine, you know, in a community where everybody coming to your community, people are kind of problems and politics that you might run into. But they did it didn't want to smooth this jobs

00:02:12.870 - 00:02:24.530

I think I've ever seen in terms of telling this thing where where there were a lot of people who were turned away from the program, but they were not turned away and animosity. They were turned away and saying, okay, I'll accept that, but let's hurry on

00:02:24.530 - 00:02:27.260

and get another one started so I can try to get into that one.
