       I’m from the South Bronx．At 7, my neighborhood was the beginning and end of my universe．It was a small town to me．Everyone knew each other, so if you got into trouble in school, chances are that your mom knew about it before you got home．I felt watched over and safe．

       But just before I turned 8, things began to change．I watched two buildings on my block burn down．I remember seeing my neighbor Pito go up and down the fire escape to get people out．Where were the firemen? Where was the truck? Somebody must have called them．

       That same summer, after serving two tours in Vietnam, my brother was killed in the South Bronx．He was shot above the left eye and died instantly．

       People who could moved out of the neighborhood , and all I wanted to do was get out, too．I used education to get away from there and got good at avoiding the topic of where I was from．To be from the South Bronx meant that you were not a good person．It felt like a stain （污点）．

       After college, I didn’t want to come back to the South Bronx, but in order to afford graduate school, I had to．I was almost 30 and could only afford to live at my parents’ home．It felt like a defeat, and I hated it．

       At the same time, the city was planning a huge waste facility here, and no one seemed to care -- including many of us who lived here．They were like, “Well, it’s a poor community; what’s the difference?”

       After that, I realized it’s just as important to fight for something as it is to fight against something．So we dreamed up a new park on the site of an illegal waste dump – and after many community clean-ups, along with $3 million from the city, we have one．And it’s a glory．It was the seed from which many new plants for our community have grown．

       Today, the South Bronx is no longer a stain; it’s a symbol of honor for me．I believe that where I’m from helps me to really see the world．Today, when I say I’m from the South Bronx, I stand up straight．This is home, and it always will be．

A lot of management training is given each year for Circle K corporation, a national chain of convenience stores. Among the topics we address in our course is the retention(保护力) of quality employees－a real challenge to managers when you consider the pay scale(标准) in the service industry. During these discussions, I ask the participants, “What has caused you to stay long enough to become a manager?” Some time later, a new manager took the question and slowly, with her voice almost breaking, said, “It was a $ 19 baseball glove.”

     Cynthia told the group that she originally took a Circle K clerk job as an temporary position while she looked for something better. On her second or third day behind the counter, she received a phone call from her nine-year-old son, Jessie. He needed a baseball glove for Little League. She explained that as a single mother, money was very tight, and her first check would have to go for paying bills. Perhaps she could buy his baseball glove with her second or third check. When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning, Patricia, the store manager, asked her to come to the small room in the back of the store that served as an office. Cynthia wondered if she had done something wrong or left some part of her job incomplete from the day before. She was worried and confused.

     Patricia handed her a box. “I overheard you talking to your son yesterday,” she said, “and I know that it is hard to explain things to kids. This is a baseball glove for Jessie because he may not understand how important he is, even though you have to pay bills before you can buy gloves. You know we can’t pay good people like you as much as we would like to; but we do care, and I want you to know you are important to us.”

    The thoughtfulness, emphasis and love of this convenience store manager demonstrates vividly that people remember more how much an employer cares than how much the employer pays.
