Transcription: 
My name is Fernando Pullum. I am the director and founder of the Fernando Pullum community art center in South Central Los Angeles. I was once a discarded kid. And through music I was able to enhance my life. A teacher gave me that gift and I would like to share that gift with my students and kids from my community.
