00:02.420 --> 00:03.760
- [Josiah] It's usually around high school

00:03.760 --> 00:05.680
when students consider what career path

00:05.680 --> 00:07.280
they wish to pursue.

00:07.280 --> 00:08.500
Today, the students

00:08.500 --> 00:10.950
at Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit High School

00:10.950 --> 00:14.170
can add one more potential
career to the list.

00:14.170 --> 00:16.060
Colonel Konata Atu Crumbly,

00:16.060 --> 00:18.170
Commander of the 116th Air Control Wing

00:18.170 --> 00:20.030
of the Georgia Air National Guard,

00:20.030 --> 00:23.628
spoke at a morning assembly at
the school earlier this week.

00:23.628 --> 00:26.545
(students talking)

00:28.140 --> 00:30.570
Cristo Rey is a school
that educates young people

00:30.570 --> 00:32.300
of limited economic means

00:32.300 --> 00:34.660
through a rigorous college
preparatory curriculum

00:34.660 --> 00:37.530
integrated with a work study program.

00:37.530 --> 00:42.530
- Number two, there's nothing wrong

00:42.750 --> 00:43.810
with picking up trash
on the way to success.

00:43.810 --> 00:46.020
- [Josiah] The Colonel shared
his personal story with them

00:46.020 --> 00:47.270
and introduced the students

00:47.270 --> 00:49.950
to potential career
opportunities available to them

00:49.950 --> 00:51.743
in the Georgia Air National Guard.

00:53.180 --> 00:54.700
- I wish I could take more questions

00:54.700 --> 00:55.960
and I wish I had more time,

00:55.960 --> 00:59.258
but apparently you all have
class to go to so. (laughs)

00:59.258 --> 01:02.000
(students groaning)

01:02.000 --> 01:04.078
So look, thank you for your time.

01:04.078 --> 01:04.911
God bless you.

01:04.911 --> 01:08.380
(students clapping)

01:08.380 --> 01:09.480
- [Josiah] After the assembly,

01:09.480 --> 01:11.190
Chief Operating Officer of the school,

01:11.190 --> 01:14.950
Nick Gentile, gave the Colonel
a grand tour of the school,

01:14.950 --> 01:17.450
where he was able to meet
with students and faculty

01:17.450 --> 01:20.130
to share the various
opportunities and benefits

01:20.130 --> 01:23.023
available to the students
through the Air National Guard.

01:23.023 --> 01:24.731
(beeping)

01:24.731 --> 01:28.076
- Or if you get them in college somewhere.

01:28.076 --> 01:30.150
- [Josiah] Towards the end of the day,

01:30.150 --> 01:31.940
the Colonel presented his Commander's coin

01:31.940 --> 01:33.470
to some of the faculty

01:33.470 --> 01:35.733
in appreciation for
all of their hard work.

01:36.680 --> 01:39.453
- I wanted to give you this coin.
