00:00:05.890 --> 00:00:07.087
My dad used to say,
2
00:00:07.087 --> 00:00:08.177
"Anything worth having
3
00:00:08.177 --> 00:00:09.397
"is worth working for."
4
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:11.970
It wasn't enough for him
5
00:00:11.970 --> 00:00:13.740
to put a roof over our heads
6
00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:14.883
and food in our mouth.
7
00:00:15.820 --> 00:00:16.720
He was determined
8
00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:17.740
that my brothers and sisters,
9
00:00:17.740 --> 00:00:19.170
and I would go to college
10
00:00:19.170 --> 00:00:20.920
because he never had the chance to.
11
00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:25.480
Sometimes he'd work 10, 15 hours a day.
12
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:27.020
And it seemed like every Friday,
13
00:00:27.020 --> 00:00:28.130
we'd go to the bank
14
00:00:28.130 --> 00:00:30.093
and buy U.S. Savings Bonds for college.
15
00:00:31.770 --> 00:00:33.510
By the time I turned 18,
16
00:00:33.510 --> 00:00:35.850
there was money for me to go to college,
17
00:00:35.850 --> 00:00:36.990
and for my brothers and sisters
18
00:00:36.990 --> 00:00:38.040
when they were ready.
19
00:00:40.180 --> 00:00:42.070
Thanks to my mom and dad,
20
00:00:42.070 --> 00:00:43.930
and to U.S. Savings Bonds,
21
00:00:43.930 --> 00:00:44.763
which is why I use
22
00:00:44.763 --> 00:00:46.180
some of every paycheck
23
00:00:46.180 --> 00:00:47.660
to buy U.S. Savings Bonds
24
00:00:47.660 --> 00:00:49.563
for our kids' college education.
25
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:52.810
If college is in your child's future,
26
00:00:52.810 --> 00:00:54.200
make U.S. Savings Bonds
27
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:55.650
part of your present.
28
00:00:55.650 --> 00:00:57.623
Get them where you work or bank.
