when I first heard of votes leads headaches you see see I being a bone sparks I was really excited really really ethically and %HESITATION this picture would probably best explain why not necessarily because it sparked an interest in going to the gym but because of the idea of sparks in January every genre since two thousand ten the ana we've been doing that and could I come
pain because support for youth month and I was in the middle of appearing before Senate veto used daily I think I spoke to a colleague of mine about doing a presentation access to be to use the on sparks so you can imagine how I felt when I saw the information about ten X. UCI being the theme sparks as a one of them were thinking what I
was thinking you know so was this sparks you know what is a spark me the you know it's a second glistening particle are flashing lights and or by itself %HESITATION I would need to go activating factor according to %HESITATION the dots on the late doctor Benson due to Benson he says that the teenagers how a particular spark and it is our responsibility to find a week
to ignite that spark and keep it going I I you know I was thinking you know I think Christmas at every Christmas Easter when I was growing up I used to get the sparkling runs right I I always thought of when I was at the sparkling rods with gore out after you'd like them they're going to have to one and I think you know it would
be really cool it took invades wanted a sparkling runs that would never go along with it I thought you know if they couldn't sell them because if you had a sparkling ride that would continue going in there and do one house Wagner was the center of no so I was like you know so my my my question is how do we ignites the hidden strengths all
of our young people I keep that going you know so there are some common sparks now if I mention a spark that is your your your spark %HESITATION always do so that's what they did the time in the in the %HESITATION earlier so did I I guess coming %HESITATION laid off did you know anything else because you're smart just come yeah so that I can note
the sparks no rule I don't miss Bennet is going to do yes with this one because this is not about reading right I saw it so there is a swimming pool sparks either this didn't write things that are are that that you got hyped up makes you give your life you know I so we hung there and different things that young people these are hidden stress
of our people so being as one so those clothes brainiacs because they're you know that thirty you know this is bitter Spock was their thing I know to read just as long as they're not novels and the house on the line and bold and was that he knows it is I mean for me I I was really more traditional in that kind of thing so you
know there are some readers that's that's that's your spot to all the readers in the room yeah I've got good also so then their artistic people here have black elected at peak times of work yeah thank you no hard proof okay so that there is I you know there are people there is no art that they're really good you know I have this young young lady
when when I started out with Kim nods and so to my way with this young lady I said you know %HESITATION pretty was just because it just kind of want to do so organization again right ideal I'm sure so artists just before she went to %HESITATION designs good enough that I see created the noble for first for him and his economic consortium and then by the
time bad by the time I farm cabin use of this shed already gone to school with and you know how the pier this time you know what happens that's noble was susah Silkwood you know but then there are musically inclined to hook okay want to okay okay off-again you know those one day John one day keyboard I'm out one thing so there's thank you write to
us on this one because of the kidney %HESITATION and they're people who like that well yeah there alright yeah is not unique and then there are people who like to %HESITATION the jam yeah npas some good so did those comedians I but like to those are the people that's their spark you know so these are some of the things that need that some kids so then
there's people who like really is on a spiritual unlike me and I worship is a complete number yeah yeah and also like to worship and so forth I think and let's go to church you know I know there's people that we like to head over there into helping the commute is less well known and yes and also if there is that those people who like to
help the community and Sir you know that you could that not enough to serve the community thank when there are people who are athletic crime you know I like to you know to do sports and so far so also yeah there are some of the people here good right so their sports and stuff so that is one of all also in the things that you know
the best parts of our young people need in our young people need access to help them succeed but then there is the idea of the sparks that we need ignite right okay no I found out this year no that doesn't mean I'm oblivious to the young people here and also taught them but I just didn't know what this the young people implies drool harms support are
you but we had a conference call planning we can success I we're having this conference and the young people that are tended you know we're having a kind of discussion I'm one of the young men access the the chief inspector Sir why is there a problem with bikes I think it to be he thought was is a good opportunity to hear the chief inspector asking the
question why is there a problem but I thought it was just I thought he was just I was but I didn't going awesome opportunity you know so it so it seems I'm says there's not a problem of bikes because bikes I ninety objects you know the problem is not with the pipes the problem is when you go on to rule it illegally act is the problem
yeah I realize that you know when Ben came on twenty seven interview the ball is about %HESITATION about their interests and then after that subsequent subsequent that you went into their communities into that even more so I think this thing is huge so they know how when a school to a close look at that and the school that these these boys are from they don't want
to go on a field trip casino if you go to a real serious didn't realize that the risk we can break because was out now on to be sold and all that and then %HESITATION got some phone not that there was this really sweet being built in east and I'm I'm only going to go up there you know just look at the place of my own
so I went for the day it went with the boys these boys are from John B. high school I went to the rear sweep up in Easton I we looked at a place no man to my thing is this is direct but today the second dark bites on my thing you know they can my soul is going to do my neck I might vote here numbers
high you know these guys with India but you know that what happens here but then you know for celebrates our youth debate hopping mid cutbacks on with the group that is is behind building this race week they they came to celebrate like that I mean I was so blown away you know sometimes a challenge by sentencing to try to do these things is W. trying to
cars and I just don't know how they're going to have %HESITATION turnover and so his young mind that I've met in nam I sent me to use because if she didn't February %HESITATION John Michael ranking things yes this go on under the act of the Celtics are you did I took a picture there to myself you know I thought what's up I'm thing you know it's
got here but you know I really enjoyed that right so you know he came to celebrate I used the with his back I know because I had had hiding a little bit and then we brought some suburban Canada's rental first look in Miami a haunting third of the top say that room whom I think you've got it the sound in the room was a soul are
some you know I'm going to show that that that that %HESITATION video on sparks I went to one of this the schools doing presentations park upcoming cab and one of the only is it's me who you you did you show the presentation on Spock's Norman editing as a national remote by she remembered the presentation and the video on sparks Jose yes yes I would be glad
that you enjoyed it so John Michael had the arm so fast no this is me on a Sunday after church in my jacket everything I just thought face right know if this is probably one of the younger stunt men in Kim Iraq now four years old doing stunt I thought that's right riding with his foot behind how that you could really says mother gave me this
picture house that all my guards are you know bikes but then I find out that night this school to lie frontiers by clad right there is %HESITATION skit that I you know it was the most vocal boats get pockets of what and so I make my gosh this is such an interest for you people right so every time to go practice on on on on Karen
affirmation that because it blows up you know another group so much are Spartacus because you don't need to ignite though the strands of bio people these young people need spark champions right your spot something can be your parents the cambia courts the kind of teacher I can be a friend for example there's this guy named Rudy Rudy ever %HESITATION heat there's a movie on them as
well Rudy had a friend and his friend with that I think was twenty second birthday I describe it got him this armed not today you mom colleagues jacket you know because when moody was growing up he wanted to to please American football at this college what they thought he was committed to do that and he didn't how he was he had some literacy programs so you
can I think was dyslexic only get dyslexia and and so he you know one of the teachers or you can go on to the college trip to to view this college so his friend always believed in them you know so his friend encouraged him you know so you need the parents the courts of the teachers and friends so I mean what what do sparked junk is
to they have a firm and they encourage you know so it you know when you have a friend you know that you know your friend is a good friend in there for me what to do I'm encouraging said that during the opposite in a really good friends trust me pants right they also teach and mentor and it also model that so you might have a friend
that you know what did they see you drawing your you know doing the thing that they might not the says he did not greet him but he's a by someone you met become rich focus on that I can I think you should do who read a file is because you really there you go there it much better than you so yeah I think you should do
really you know go for this I know there's some people that our parents are actually and then they could teach and mentor as well right I know those people who bought it so you can have a teacher probably identify the young person that is good at it and then is teaching them and then also monthly as well but with all of those you also need Parsons
who provide the opportunity so mac so for example %HESITATION the big brothers big sisters %HESITATION as tab where mentors sometimes it's best to get someone who's in that year in the ideal person has interest so it athlete with an athlete you know was mentoring that to do it area %HESITATION so so stuff like that you've also means pre treat those opportunities right so then you also
sparked some because I think this is one of the cool things that was how striker find another thing to show up sparked some his them in terms of eliminating so it also goes one obstacle that our young people feel is fair right I do have some of those parts of guns that can help the young person eliminate that right now they are also on there are
people that are you know it independent young person's life that need to be limited to those and I'm so up their acts so I would say is your thing could benefit to the pound but but parents and you know those peers are really adamant about what they're going to do this there realize that they're back a friend leading their child on their own pockets I select
what I just don't want you to spend time with this person that kind of is a little see but even if it's unfair and people who are just not having the time to get anywhere my spark spirits you know this is the lady of arms this go with my mother sees what I call my and multiples spark champion you know see not only teach some men
toward me in terms of music you know should should produced it albums and she was she was the one who taught me and a couple of the young people I'm got got us together as choir groups had a cigar concerts and %HESITATION you know she she marketed as modify this is her eye to the %HESITATION concert in Jamaica there were awarding her and she asked me
to sing on that night no payments that you never thought no safe bags I'm asking me improv took on the on the spot to see good a good amount of the bond that you but anyways ask the sing that that that evening and so sees what I call my multiple Spock Jumpin right to model it taunted and an encouragement for me but there's also Michael bush
Mister Jerry Harper Ben not until you notice how I might my older brother I I was a middle school and he was in this chat go and he was you know involved in this after school check up and I would stay after school just for the fun of it and high notes and do nothing I do I do list of all of us saw me and
I was the only child on them going Tom Cotney no I missed the hot club you say only to come there and I I went up to him is like what are you doing after school and I thought given all of this possible excuses account run because it told me when I was younger when I was sick that I couldn't get what by the green and
I couldn't run anymore and all that stuff you don't invite my story this open an account run you can throw so that's okay with awesome so I I went into this knowledge he taught me how to throw and he saw he cars we affirm my involvement and I was I got went to athletics which demanded classics left school in the middle of it and told her
