Service and work

If I were running for office in Boston, 
and my name was Jesse Joe Kennedy, 
I may say it’s name recognition.   

If I was running in New York, 
and my name was Jesse Jay Rockefeller, 
I would say name recognition.   

But I was born on Haney Street to a teenage mother.   
Nobody knew my name. 
My name is service and work.
