Ward 2 Council Member Paul Cunningham starts first ever 'Heart of Tucson Internship' after meeting Santa Rita High School graduate Marcus Threat.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Ward 2 Council Member Paul Cunningham was speaking at a Tucson Unified School District program called HEART which is for students experiencing homelessness, and pitched an internship opportunity to the crowd.“It was right place, right time. When I met him, he was confident enough to come up to me after I gave my speech. He challenged me a little bit," said Cunningham.
“I didn’t really like the guy at first. I was mad. We didn't exactly meet on good terms but he was just giving me life advice about where I want to be 5-10 years from now," said Marcus Threat."I learned school is very important, school can help me get to where I want to be in life.” “I'm very blessed to be here. I'm very grateful for this opportunity that I've been given and I'm just really excited to start," said Threat.
