Thank you for listening this evening and happy to ask all your questions. Let me answer all your questions. I'd like to tell you a little bit about me, my history, and then also why I'm running. So I want you to know that I started out with very humble beginnings. When I was ███, my brother was ███, my mother and father divorced. My father left. We never saw him again. My mother was a maid and a hostess. By the time I was ████████ old, my mother was only making about $███ a week. It was two weeks work to pay one month's rent. When I was ███ and my brother was █████, we started working. We lived in ████████████. We did four city blocks, both sides, ████, ████ and ███████████, two paper routes before school, two paper routes after school. We also cleaned the building to help my mother pay the rent. When we were at ██. When I was ██, my brother was ██. We moved to King Arthur Apartments and my brother and I became maintenance people. Even at ██, ██, ██, ██, ████████ old, we tried to work about ███████ hours each year before school, after school, and then weekends, and then summer break, ██████ break and all. The goal was to make ███████ hours and make $███████ a year. To help my mother.
