Detroit has struggled for years to lose labels such as
'The Murder City' and 'The Capital of Scrap.'
Search Detroit online, and the picture is all bad.
Hi! My name is Kathy Tian, and this year, 
 I'm a Corps Member with City Year Detroit.
About a year ago, I moved to Detroit
and I've never been to a city that 
 quite had the same spirit as Detroit.
Prior to moving to Detroit, I kind of had the 
 same reaction that a lot of people do:
But after moving to Detroit, I've come to see
the city that it is, and the people of Detroit
who are genuinely humble, genuinely hard-working
and have a kind of quiet dignity about the city --
who expect it to get better, because they know it's going to get better.
Because how could it not?
I hope that through Challenge Detroit, I can help others understand
what I've come to understand, as a newcomer to Detroit:
that Detroit is someplace that you want to choose.
DIANE: Kathy does not stop!
JAMES: ... most qualified person.
JAMILA: Absolutely.
LAURA: ... such a positive attitude.
NICHOLE: Absolutely.
BRANDIS: Go Kathy!
KATHY: Sid, would you recommend me for Challenge?
'SID': YES!
