If I had to describe OW in one word? | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
-A real diamond. -Mind-blowing. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
-Surprising. -Drama. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
Swag. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:19 | |
-Over the top. -It's crazy. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
Oh, my God. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
Problems. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:26 | |
-Discombobulated. -This ain't no fairy-tale high school. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
This ain't no fairy-tale story. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
Everything is real here. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
Class of 2016! | 0:00:40 | 0:00:41 | |
At OW, you see black people 98% of the time. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:49 | |
You share pain, | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
you share tears. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
We are lifelong friends for ever. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
Teachers, please close all doors. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
We are in an active hall sweep. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
I'm a senior and it's make or break time for me. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
I'm about to get ready to leave high school. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
Y'all going to jail. Because y'all in a stolen car. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
Come on, Ra-Ra! | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
I have to live with it. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
I am so proud of you because I know that you have overcome | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
obstacles to make it to this day. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
Six million people play high school football. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
The chances of getting into college is hard, | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
but I think I am good enough for it. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
My birth mother passed away when I was in second grade. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
She wouldn't be disappointed. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
I know she would want me to keep trying for other schools. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
He is all about growing up. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
OK. And you know that baby and everything... | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
What baby? He has a baby? | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
-He is expecting one. -Getting one? -Yeah. -Wow. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
It's been an up-and-down season for the Bruins, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
but they are into the play-offs. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
There's no room for mistakes in play-offs. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
At all. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
Go out there, compete hard. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
-Is there a lot riding on this for you? -Yeah. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
A whole lot. Scholarships. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
If we don't win no games, we can't get no looks. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
And, you know, I know Rendull was worried and concerned about getting | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
a scholarship. He has to be, because he hadn't gotten those calls yet. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
If I lose, then that's my last high school dream. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
Like, I haven't heard too much from my recruitment process, so it's like... | 0:03:08 | 0:03:13 | |
We are deep into the third quarter of this must-win game for the Bruins. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
For captain Rendull Middleton, this could be his last chance to impress college scouts. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:29 | |
He drives to the middle of the lane. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:34 | |
He puts it up the left hand. And counted. It's good. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:39 | |
But now, the Eagles are staging a comeback. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
What is happening to this Bruins side? | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
Come on! No, listen to me. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
We're going to win the game, all right? Shoot it, shoot it. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
What are you doing? | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
Listen, listen! | 0:04:04 | 0:04:05 | |
We wasted three possessions already trying to do that long passing shit. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
Myself, Brett, come on, we need this. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
Let's go. Let's go. Move it, Rendull, move it! | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
The fourth and final quarter of play and this game is slipping away from OW. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
KLAXON AND CHEERING | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
Guys, let me tell you. When it's all said and done, it's the end of the season. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
I want you to make sure that you take some of the things that we | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
taught y'all this season just about life. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
OK? Even though you're young and it seems like you're going to be young | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
for ever, basketball is just a small part of your life. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
All right, but I'm going to tell you like this right here, I love you guys. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
We are lifelong friends for ever. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
For ever! You share pain, you share tears, | 0:05:05 | 0:05:10 | |
I want y'all to use this to motivate yourselves. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
This season is over with now, but one thing's for sure, | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
this is a Bruin family. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
Let us pray. Our Father, which art in heaven. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
as we forgive those who trespass... | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
See, we had it right there in our hands. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:51 | |
What's my next journey in life? | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
What's next? | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
Here we go. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
Big old school here. It is going to be a wild ride. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:25 | |
Wow, look at that line! | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
-Sorry. This is Mykenzie. This is Aubrai. -Hey, nice to meet you. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:35 | |
Little nervous. It's my first day. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
-Hey! -Hey, sweetie. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
Before you leave lunch, you go to section two and get your bus pass. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
Yes, ma'am. It's a lot bigger than my other school. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
-It is? -Yes. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:49 | |
-Way bigger? -It's way bigger. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
OW to me is kind of, you know, divided. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:56 | |
Every person you see is, you know, black, black, black, black. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
We just had a black president. He's still going on. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
I'll give you a few quarters because I have a few spares. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
It's like jail! | 0:07:10 | 0:07:11 | |
Can I get a hot sausage? | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
-It's a dollar? -Yeah. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
Thank you. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:24 | |
It's school food. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
-Staring is not good. -Stare right back at her. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
Stare right back. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
It makes me feel like there's something wrong with me. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
-Yeah. -You know? | 0:07:46 | 0:07:47 | |
Really uncomfortable feeling. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
I am one of the only white people here at the school. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:55 | |
It isn't about somebody's skin colour that makes them who they are, | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
it's about how they act and carry themselves and their morals | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
and values. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:02 | |
I'm really, really sensitive to you coming in because this is a school | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
that's 99% African-American. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
And I wanted to make sure that you felt safe... | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
-Mm. -That you embrace the idea that nobody was going to bother you. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:21 | |
We just love you. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
I moved around my whole life, Dr Peters. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
You know, like, I do have that adaptive personality. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
I had a plan to, like, make it more... | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
blend it up a little bit. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
Because most parents, like, send their kids | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
to different schools just so they don't have to, you know, | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
be in a school that's mostly black, which is messed up. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
The more diversity you have in a school, | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
the better it is for everybody involved. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
-Right, exactly. -And I think, when you have that mixture, | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
there is more positive to take out of it than negatives. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
You know you can always come to me | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
and talk to me about any thing that's bothering you. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
-And I'll help in any way I can. -Yeah. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
You're listening to the People Station, | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
and I am in studio with Bruins football coach Tommy Brown. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
Coach, what's next for some of the top players on your team? | 0:09:20 | 0:09:24 | |
Kordel came on our programme and developed to receive. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
He always had a lot of confidence. Works hard in the weight room. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
He's got bigger. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
He's about 194, 6'3" now. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
He has the potential to be a star at the next level. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
Coach, what is your role when it comes to recruiting? | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
I tell some people... | 0:09:41 | 0:09:42 | |
I actually become like a used car salesman. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
A lot of cases, I call up colleges, I send film and basically, you know, | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
I try to sell my players. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:51 | |
You know, we don't talk about football. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
We talk about character, we talk about being disciplined in the classroom. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:58 | |
We talk about that day when we can sign your name on the dotted line. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
College is the next step. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
I wanna play for South Carolina | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
I dream of being a Gamecock, winning national championships. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
This is the University of South Carolina, USC. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
This was my favourite team growing up. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
The people that got money, they go to these camps and stuff and they | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
get exposure. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
The recruiters can see them first. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
Bro, if you ain't got the money to go to them camps... | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
..I mean, your exposure is slim to none. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
This is always the toughest part. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
Recruiting becomes kind of difficult right here. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
I just want to go and just get out of Orangeburg. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
Right now, I want to get out of Orangeburg. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
-Have you talked to Rendull? -I've talked to Rendull. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:12 | |
Has he talked to you about how he's feeling about the | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
birth of the baby and all this kind of stuff? | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
Erm... I get the picture he's trying to... | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
trying to make it seem like he's got control over everything, which, | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
you know, he doesn't really understand what he has facing him. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
I don't think Rendull has a plan. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
Basically, the scholarships thing is basically like what he's banking on. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:34 | |
Right. This is... Our best shot of getting him in school. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
Well, you know, I sent his highlight tape to about 20 coaches. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:42 | |
Claflin, we thought we had some things going with them, but, you know, | 0:11:42 | 0:11:48 | |
they are a little slow right now, talking slow. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
Rendull has a tendency to be so cool and that's good, | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
in a way, that he has that kind of resolve. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
But at the same token, | 0:11:57 | 0:11:58 | |
we have to all remember that he's still a kid himself, | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
who is about to have a kid. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
The options that Rendull has right now are not solidified. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
I worry about the chances of Rendull getting a college scholarship. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
Like, when I came for you, you weren't here. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
Recruiting is the part that everybody don't know about. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
Hey, Miss Johnson. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
Guess what? I've got a Carolina person here. Miss Johnson, huh? | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
-Yeah. -Hi. -How you doing? -I see it. See, I got you! See, I'm new. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:42 | |
'They're looking for players all over the country, | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
'so I have to let schools know that we have these kids.' | 0:12:44 | 0:12:48 | |
I am just coming over here, imagining meeting folks, you know what I mean? | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
They say the coach ain't been in here, man, | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
so I'm trying make that better, man. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
Man, I get people calling me all the time. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:59 | |
-All right, Miss Johnson, I'll see you. -All right. Take care. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
I know you asked me about Kordel Johnson? | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
Well, I'll tell you. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:09 | |
He's demonstrated what it takes to play on the next level. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
I mean, I was excited. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
As soon as I turned around, I saw the Gamecock on his shirt. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
I was just dazed through a second. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
We talked a little bit. Shared a chat and stuff. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
He talked about getting me up there. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
Today, he just came and saw me. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
It's not an offer. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:53 | |
So we don't know if I'm playing in Carolina or we don't know... | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
We don't know what they're thinking. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
They actually might talk to five, six, ten kids a day. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
And you're selling the same dream to every kid. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
BELL RINGS | 0:14:11 | 0:14:12 | |
Bye! | 0:14:20 | 0:14:21 | |
This is my favourite food of all time. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
Right here, macaroni and cheese. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
This is Velveeta cheese shells, where it's got the real cheese. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:34 | |
Instead of the powder kind. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
I don't like the powder kind. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
Delicious! | 0:14:38 | 0:14:39 | |
So, tell me, how are you feeling about the new school? | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
You know like how I've switched from school to school to school for the | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
past few years because of Dad and you living in separate cities? | 0:14:47 | 0:14:52 | |
Like, I just used to want to make friends. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:53 | |
Instead of being there for my schooling, I'd want to, you know, | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
fit in and stuff. Now it's like, I know what I need to be there for, I know what I want, | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
-it's easier for me to concentrate. -So you've been able to focus? -Yeah. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
We waited so long to put you in OW | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
for fear that somehow you'd be treated differently | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
than some of the other students. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
-I definitely am. -You feel like you are? -Yes. -Really, how so? | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
Just sly remarks. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
-You know... -Students can be a little rough. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
Yeah, I get called names. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
Yeah. But you did that before, I mean, in private school as well. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:25 | |
I've been called... I've been called Snow Bunny. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
I've been called White Girl. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
I've been called Pasty, you know, all kind of names. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:33 | |
The school system here has become extremely segregated, | 0:15:34 | 0:15:38 | |
to the point where OW of the thousands of students that are there, | 0:15:38 | 0:15:43 | |
you could probably count on your hands and toes the numbers of Caucasian students. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:49 | |
So she and I decided together that, you know what? | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
-We're only two little people in a little small place... -But we could start a chain reaction. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
But we can make a difference. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
You know what? We want to be part of the solution, | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
not part of the problem. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:01 | |
So, as you know, I'm planning your 16th birthday party. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
I know you want to invite several people from your new school. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
So, tell me, Mykenzie, what do you want at your party? | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
Good morning. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:25 | |
Good morning. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:26 | |
Ooh, look at him! Excuse me! What's up, man? Feeling good? | 0:16:26 | 0:16:31 | |
What's going on, man? | 0:16:31 | 0:16:32 | |
At this point, the major schools, | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
if they haven't already contacted you by now, the chances are, | 0:16:38 | 0:16:43 | |
you won't get any communication with them. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:47 | |
All right, first and foremost, | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
how's everything coming along with the baby? | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
-Good. -Now, what's she having again? | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
-Girl or boy? -Little girl. -Little girl? | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
OK. Erm... | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
You know, whatever you're capable of doing to make things easier for her, | 0:17:00 | 0:17:05 | |
make sure you do that. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
You know, that's the growing up part that you've got to do with this | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 | |
situation right here. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
I'm just talking to make sure | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
that certain things... | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
We are doing certain things just as far as, you know, moving on. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:23 | |
I want to make sure that you're keeping yourself in shape. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:27 | |
We never know who you're going to have to work out for. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
All right. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:33 | |
INTERVIEWER: What's it like being a footballer? | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
Girls, you know. That's the main thing, the girls. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
If you go for the athlete type, | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
then you have girls that come after the athletes and stuff like that | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
and you have that to worry about. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
I would not go out with a boy from this school. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
It's like you can't find a nice boy that has a nice brain. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:24 | |
I like to shop, I like clothes. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
I like clothes, the dresses. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
I like females. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
You want to hear a cheesy pick-up line? | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
"There's something wrong with your left eye because you've been looking right all day." | 0:18:34 | 0:18:39 | |
-Hey, Aubrai! Aubrai. -Yes, Kordel? | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
How many times are you can call my name? I'm saying yes. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:49 | |
I'm thinking about Aubrai. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:50 | |
Oh, my gosh! | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
She's so amazing. You know they think you're amazing. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
There is going to be a date. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
Ohh! Here come the excuses! | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
Here come the excuses. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
-You're about to leave, you're about to go. -What does that mean? -Goodbye. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
-What does that mean? -It means you might leave! -I'm also about to be a superstar or some shit. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:11 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:19:11 | 0:19:12 | |
I'm also about to be a superstar! | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
-Let's go ice skating. -No, because then I'll fall! | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
-That's fine. That's the fun part about it. -That's not fun. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
-That's the fun part about it. -No, no, no. On a first date, you don't go ice skating. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:27 | |
You go ice-skating when you're dating. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
Like... After, like, three or four... | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
-Where do you go on a first date? The movies? -A restaurant or something. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
I ain't paying for my own food. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
-OK. -I'm just saying! | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
I've been on a date where I had to pay for my own food. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
-Who? -None of your business. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
So we'll make this official? | 0:19:44 | 0:19:46 | |
-OK. A done deal. -One. -A done deal. -One date. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:50 | |
-A done deal. -All right. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
A done deal. It's going to be good. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
It's going to be good. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
Oh, yeah, I know him. Hey, what's up? | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
-You coming to my party? -You know that. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
-What's up, all right? You bringing friends? -Yeah. -OK. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
All right. So, everybody listen up, including you, Ashley. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:21 | |
Tomorrow at my party, were going to have a bonfire with s'mores... | 0:20:21 | 0:20:26 | |
-You already know. -Yeah, I'm... | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
And hot dogs and burgers... And burgers! | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
-Oh, I eat burgers. Don't put no onions on them both. -We're going to have a dance contest for the girls. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:38 | |
-Fine with all that. -You win an Michael Kors purse. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
-We're going to have a DJ. -Who the DJ? -Some lady. -That my DJ. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
ALL CHANT: Go DJ, that's my DJ. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
I've invited probably, like, 40, 30, maybe 50. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:54 | |
So it's going to be a lot. It's going to be fun. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
And my boyfriend's going to be there. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
South Carolina State has a good football team. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
It's just the fact that it's in Orangeburg and I grew up here my whole life. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:19 | |
Hey, man, where are you? | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
I'm at home. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
Oh, because I've got a gentleman wanting to see you. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
OK. So that means if he chase you come to school, | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
then that means you should have had your body here. Right? | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
Hey, man. You all right? How's it going? | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
Go in here. Sit down and talk. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
So, what's going on, man? Coach at South Carolina State. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
-Yes, sir. -I came and watched you play a couple of times this year. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
Yeah. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:53 | |
So what's going on with you? | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
Not much. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:56 | |
How are classes going? Going pretty good? | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
Like, I was telling coach, | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
we might need to see if we can get something done to get you over there | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
if that's something you want to do. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
All right, because I see you go up and get that football. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
I don't see many people go up and get like that. Huh? | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
Yes, sir. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:13 | |
So when the ball in the air is yours... | 0:22:13 | 0:22:14 | |
-It's mine. -That's what I'm talking about. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
What have you got going on as far as colleges and things right now? | 0:22:17 | 0:22:21 | |
-Nobody really. -Nobody really? | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
OK. I can't promise you any money, right now. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
-But your grades and stuff are pretty good. -Thank you, sir. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
Right, so we can work out a way where we can get something taken care of | 0:22:29 | 0:22:32 | |
where you don't have to pay so much in and we might see if we can do something else for you to. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:38 | |
You're too big of a talent is not to come and talk to now. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
I mean, it's an opportunity. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
That's all I'm saying, it's an opportunity. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
South Carolina State is an HBCU. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
HBCU stands for Historically Black College or University. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:55 | |
They created school so that black people could go to college and get | 0:22:56 | 0:23:01 | |
an education because they weren't allowed to go to the white schools. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
And PWI stands for Predominantly White Institution. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
The world is not black. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
The world is not what you see. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
Black people are a minority. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
The majority are white people. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
So I wanted to go to school so I can interact with them and, you know, | 0:23:16 | 0:23:24 | |
become cool with them. I don't want to just be around, you know, | 0:23:24 | 0:23:28 | |
black people the whole time. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
Cut! | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
Cut! | 0:23:50 | 0:23:51 | |
It turned out that I did not get into Georgia Tech. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
The main reason why I wanted to go to Georgia Tech | 0:23:57 | 0:24:01 | |
was because I wanted to go to one of the top engineering schools in the country. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:06 | |
And I thought that would be a great setting for me. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
I thought it would set a great path | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
for my future. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:13 | |
It is OK to be disappointed. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
You can even... | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
mourn, so to say, for a little bit, but you sit and linger in it, like, | 0:24:21 | 0:24:26 | |
for weeks and weeks and just cry just because you didn't get into a | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
certain college, you've got to keep moving. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
I thought, you know, | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
South Carolina Gamecocks were going to come and offer me, but they didn't. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:50 | |
I'm mad at how other people get offers. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
I dream of being a Gamecock. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
But those are dreams. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
You have to look realistically now. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
You have to be real to yourself. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
I know he's hurt and I wish I could say something to him more | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
and let him know that, you know, | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
things are going to work out in spite of this disappointment. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
And then there is Jesus calling us to join him | 0:25:36 | 0:25:41 | |
in the beloved community | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
that Martin Luther King Jr envisioned. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
I think people with broken families can still achieve their goals. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:52 | |
If you apply yourself and believe in yourself and find people who believe | 0:25:52 | 0:25:57 | |
in you as well, then you can almost do anything. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:02 | |
A lot of our kids here at Jones Chapel are very talented. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
Amen? | 0:26:05 | 0:26:06 | |
Let's give our young people a hand. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
# You provide the fire | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
# I will | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
# I will provide the sacrifice | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
# And if you provide the spirit | 0:26:24 | 0:26:28 | |
# Yeah... # | 0:26:28 | 0:26:32 | |
Amen. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:33 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
Good morning again, everybody. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
ALL: Good morning. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
I was just saying to my wife when Jalena started singing, | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
is there anything that girl can't do? | 0:26:42 | 0:26:45 | |
I know she's embarrassed now! | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
But oftentimes, | 0:26:49 | 0:26:50 | |
we hear people talk about a standard of excellence and everybody wants it | 0:26:50 | 0:26:55 | |
but very few people are showing other people what it looks like. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
I have applied to a lot of colleges and I only have two responses. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
One was a rejection from Georgia Tech | 0:27:06 | 0:27:10 | |
and this Friday, I'm supposed to receive a reply | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
from the University of Florida. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
Do you think it's just like... What do scouts... | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
I know they look at you, but do they look really into you? | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
Like your personality and stuff? | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
-Yeah. -No. -See, that's one thing I don't get. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:40 | |
They couldn't care less about that. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
You know where I really, like, want to go? | 0:27:42 | 0:27:45 | |
I want to go to an HBCU. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:47 | |
My top three choices are HBCUs. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
PWIs aren't for me. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
Let me ask you a question, though. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
How many universities are HBCUs, on average? | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
Probably, like, 30 or 45. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
Either way, they are less now than PWIs. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:04 | |
Yeah, they're less than PWIs. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
So are you less? What are you? | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
A minority. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:11 | |
I don't care about minority. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
You got a problem with, like, PWIs? | 0:28:15 | 0:28:17 | |
No. I want to go to one. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:20 | |
You're, like, half black, half white. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
-No, I'm not. -You all black? | 0:28:23 | 0:28:25 | |
-Yes. -Dang, doll, you is, like, super light-skinned. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:29 | |
You might not be a minority. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:31 | |
You might be a majority. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
I am a minority! You've seen my mom and you've seen my dad. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |
Somebody in your family is white. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:37 | |
Nobody in my family is white. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:39 | |
'When was the last time you saw...' | 0:28:43 | 0:28:45 | |
-Donald Trump. -He really didn't know what people go through. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:50 | |
'And they came over the wire...' | 0:28:50 | 0:28:52 | |
I think this whole thing is just... for show. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:55 | |
Like, it doesn't even seem like a campaign. It just seems like | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
reality TV. And then if he really gets President, | 0:28:58 | 0:29:02 | |
we're going to be in trouble. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:04 | |
But then Barack Obama, what did he do? | 0:29:04 | 0:29:07 | |
Killed Osama Bin Laden. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:09 | |
He lowered gas prices. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:11 | |
Lowered gas... Yes. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:13 | |
Everything that he promised he was going to do, he did it. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:16 | |
You know what the best thing about Obama is? | 0:29:16 | 0:29:18 | |
-What? -Michelle. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:19 | |
Oh! | 0:29:19 | 0:29:21 | |
You just don't have a good explanation. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:25 | |
-Want to know why? -Why? -Behind every great man is what? | 0:29:25 | 0:29:28 | |
-A great woman. -Thank you. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:30 | |
What do you have to say about that, is that sexist? | 0:29:30 | 0:29:32 | |
I mean... | 0:29:35 | 0:29:36 | |
It's like she has to have a man with her to be great. | 0:29:36 | 0:29:41 | |
She just can't be great alone, you get what I'm saying? | 0:29:41 | 0:29:45 | |
Like, for example, Hillary Clinton, they still dragging on Bill Clinton. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:49 | |
In a way, they're speaking for minorities, but in a different way, | 0:29:51 | 0:29:56 | |
they're not speaking for minorities. | 0:29:56 | 0:29:58 | |
I think they care about minorities. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:00 | |
I just want them to care a little bit more. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:04 | |
I just wish it was more, like, opportunities for blacks. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:10 | |
'We're all in this together...' | 0:30:10 | 0:30:12 | |
You can't choose where you were born, the city you were born in. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:16 | |
-No. -You can't choose you parents, | 0:30:16 | 0:30:18 | |
you can't choose if you're in poverty. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:21 | |
It's how much do you want to make it out of Orangburg. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:24 | |
They get to the point where they're not at college or anything. | 0:30:24 | 0:30:28 | |
These kids at our school are struggling now. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
You know, the no daddy, | 0:30:30 | 0:30:32 | |
single momma. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:34 | |
When you say it like that, I guess I'm a part of the story. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:39 | |
It's hard. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:44 | |
He is focused on getting out of Orangeburg, | 0:30:45 | 0:30:48 | |
which most people want to do. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:51 | |
I don't know if he was trying to make a decision, or what. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:55 | |
I think he should just stay here. | 0:30:55 | 0:30:58 | |
I still want to go to school, I still want to go to college. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
Do you think all of those kids in that school got scholarships? | 0:31:15 | 0:31:19 | |
No. But I know people who are doing it, though, right now as we speak. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
People like Isaiah, Fred... | 0:31:23 | 0:31:25 | |
Shanday. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:27 | |
And they are full scholarship players who I play with. | 0:31:27 | 0:31:31 | |
OK, you're looking at reality. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
The reality is, OK, | 0:31:34 | 0:31:36 | |
man, I ain't got no scholarships, | 0:31:36 | 0:31:38 | |
but what you do is when you get to school, | 0:31:38 | 0:31:41 | |
you're going to have to do it like men do. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:43 | |
I can't get a part-time job and play basketball. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:46 | |
-You don't know that yet. -It's not going to happen, Daddy. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:49 | |
-But I'm just saying... -Have you ever seen it happen? | 0:31:49 | 0:31:52 | |
-I haven't been there yet. -That's what I'm telling you. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:55 | |
A lot of college players get a lot of stuff there | 0:31:55 | 0:31:58 | |
that you don't know about. | 0:31:58 | 0:31:59 | |
Will you stop talking about the scholarship? | 0:31:59 | 0:32:02 | |
I'm not saying it to be rude or nothing, | 0:32:02 | 0:32:03 | |
but you can't put yourself in my shoes | 0:32:03 | 0:32:06 | |
when you're not in my situation. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:08 | |
With a baby, a little girl, who's going to need milk, | 0:32:08 | 0:32:12 | |
diapers, food, clothes. | 0:32:12 | 0:32:15 | |
What can you possibly tell me about money with a child? | 0:32:15 | 0:32:19 | |
I've got five boys! | 0:32:19 | 0:32:21 | |
You want to be able to provide for your daughter, man, | 0:32:21 | 0:32:25 | |
that's the whole purpose of you going to school, | 0:32:25 | 0:32:27 | |
so you're going to be able to provide for her. | 0:32:27 | 0:32:30 | |
You think I just want to walk around campus, ain't got no money, | 0:32:30 | 0:32:33 | |
-just playing basketball. -You're going to have to have money. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:36 | |
-Right, Dad. -But money don't make you a man. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:39 | |
Dad, I'm not saying money make you a man, | 0:32:39 | 0:32:41 | |
-but you acting like you just don't need money. -Yeah, you need it, | 0:32:41 | 0:32:45 | |
but you've got to have everything to go with the money. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:48 | |
It's like you're saying, I am a man, but you're broke. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:53 | |
If you're broke, you are a joke. Simple. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:55 | |
No, if you're broke and you're not doing nothing, you're a joke. | 0:32:55 | 0:33:00 | |
But if you're broke and doing something with yourself | 0:33:00 | 0:33:04 | |
and trying to get somewhere, that's a winner right there. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:08 | |
You cannot fold under pressure at all. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:14 | |
If you let all that stuff stress you out, you would go crazy. | 0:33:15 | 0:33:19 | |
There's a lot on my plate. | 0:33:19 | 0:33:21 | |
And I'm trying to contemplate my next move. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:27 | |
The formal letter from the University of Florida came today. | 0:33:44 | 0:33:48 | |
"Dear Jalena, congratulations on your admission | 0:33:52 | 0:33:55 | |
"to the University of Florida for the fall 2016 term. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:59 | |
"It is a pleasure to welcome you to UF and its distinctive community of | 0:33:59 | 0:34:04 | |
"learners, leaders and thinkers. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:06 | |
"During our review of your application, | 0:34:06 | 0:34:08 | |
"the committee was impressed with | 0:34:08 | 0:34:10 | |
"your outstanding academic and personal achievements." | 0:34:10 | 0:34:13 | |
Ooh, fancy! | 0:34:14 | 0:34:16 | |
I want to go out of state! | 0:34:16 | 0:34:18 | |
I want to go! | 0:34:18 | 0:34:20 | |
I'm excited. | 0:34:21 | 0:34:22 | |
Hopefully I can go here. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:26 | |
I'm kind of proud of myself, | 0:34:27 | 0:34:29 | |
but getting into college and being able to pay for that college while | 0:34:29 | 0:34:34 | |
you're there are two different things. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:36 | |
The tuition, on average, in America is around 30,000 to 40,000 | 0:34:38 | 0:34:45 | |
for a year. And that's just tuition, | 0:34:45 | 0:34:47 | |
that's not including the room and board and fees and books. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:52 | |
It's a scholarship application to see if we can get more money. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:57 | |
They're asking for background stuff, so what have you done | 0:34:57 | 0:35:00 | |
which shows that you will do well at their school? | 0:35:00 | 0:35:03 | |
Because they don't want to give anybody money that will drop out. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:06 | |
Which makes sense. | 0:35:06 | 0:35:08 | |
I mean, it's not a matter of bragging, | 0:35:08 | 0:35:10 | |
it's just that they don't know what you're doing and if you don't put it | 0:35:10 | 0:35:13 | |
out there, they won't know that you are worth the scholarship. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:17 | |
-OK. -So put it all out there. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:19 | |
I'll tell you if you're overdoing it. I'll just scratch it out. | 0:35:19 | 0:35:22 | |
Signing day is when high school players | 0:35:33 | 0:35:37 | |
choose what college they are going to. | 0:35:37 | 0:35:39 | |
They sign their names. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:41 | |
South Carolina State is in Orangeburg. | 0:35:41 | 0:35:44 | |
Nicole just told me they want me on the team, | 0:35:44 | 0:35:48 | |
but they don't have no money. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:51 | |
Right now, you've got a legitimate chance | 0:35:51 | 0:35:54 | |
of forming a relationship with this coach, | 0:35:54 | 0:35:57 | |
saying, "I'm going to commit to South Carolina State." | 0:35:57 | 0:36:00 | |
I guess now we're down to a point of making a phone call to say, | 0:36:00 | 0:36:05 | |
"We're ready to move forward," but then I just heard you say again, | 0:36:05 | 0:36:09 | |
"I think something else is going to come through." | 0:36:09 | 0:36:12 | |
But they might offer me a full scholarship. | 0:36:12 | 0:36:14 | |
-We'll see what happens. -If they give me a full scholarship, | 0:36:14 | 0:36:17 | |
-I'll sign on signing day. -But they're not doing that. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:20 | |
All right, so I'm going to give them a call. | 0:36:20 | 0:36:22 | |
Hey, Coach Pugh, how are you today? | 0:36:24 | 0:36:26 | |
'What can I do for you?' | 0:36:26 | 0:36:28 | |
I don't know, I guess I'm touching base with you to see what direction | 0:36:28 | 0:36:31 | |
we're going to take on my student. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:33 | |
INDISTINCT SPEECH | 0:36:33 | 0:36:36 | |
OK. Thank you for your time. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:40 | |
Appreciate it. All right. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:42 | |
Bye-bye. They are going to put a package together as a walk-on, | 0:36:42 | 0:36:45 | |
because he's run out of his money for scholarships. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:48 | |
It's the same kind of situation Coach Brown had. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:52 | |
And he had a stellar career. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:55 | |
Congratulations. | 0:36:55 | 0:36:56 | |
What are you anxious about? | 0:36:59 | 0:37:01 | |
Everything. | 0:37:01 | 0:37:03 | |
I think we're at the point right now where you have to make a decision. | 0:37:04 | 0:37:10 | |
# Clap your hands, everybody | 0:37:13 | 0:37:15 | |
# If you've got what it takes | 0:37:15 | 0:37:17 | |
# Cos I'm Kurtis Blow and y'all need to know | 0:37:17 | 0:37:20 | |
# That these are the breaks | 0:37:20 | 0:37:22 | |
# Brakes on the bus Brakes on the car | 0:37:26 | 0:37:28 | |
# Breaks to make you a superstar | 0:37:28 | 0:37:31 | |
# Breaks to win and breaks to lose | 0:37:31 | 0:37:33 | |
# But these here breaks will rock your shoes | 0:37:33 | 0:37:35 | |
# And these are the breaks | 0:37:35 | 0:37:37 | |
# Break it up, break it up Break it up! # | 0:37:37 | 0:37:40 | |
Sweet 16! | 0:37:44 | 0:37:46 | |
Who's this one from? | 0:37:49 | 0:37:51 | |
I love you. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:53 | |
Oh, wow! | 0:37:56 | 0:37:58 | |
Look at that! | 0:37:58 | 0:38:00 | |
-Look at that! -I figured you'd like that better than the candy! | 0:38:02 | 0:38:06 | |
I'm bawling right now. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:08 | |
SMOOCHY MUSIC PLAYS | 0:38:10 | 0:38:13 | |
I like my dogs burnt. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:21 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:38:21 | 0:38:23 | |
-What's up? -I can't find my phone, and it's off. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:30 | |
I bet someone picked it up, thinking it was theirs. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:33 | |
Really think it's a mistake, Heather. Don't stress too much. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:36 | |
I'm going to ask everyone to please help me find this telephone. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:40 | |
If I see it, I'll give it to you. Ask everybody if they have it. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:44 | |
Hello! | 0:38:50 | 0:38:51 | |
Whoever took the phone, | 0:38:51 | 0:38:54 | |
you're not a very good person, | 0:38:54 | 0:38:57 | |
and I promise you, I promise you... | 0:38:57 | 0:39:00 | |
-Oh, my God. -..the provider is going to turn it off | 0:39:00 | 0:39:02 | |
and you'll get in trouble for it. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:04 | |
So if you have the phone, come up here and give it back to her now. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:08 | |
Well, McKinsey, it's gone. I mean, one of your friends stole it. | 0:39:11 | 0:39:14 | |
I don't know who did it or why. I don't understand. | 0:39:14 | 0:39:18 | |
She could've checked their pockets or phoned the cops, | 0:39:18 | 0:39:20 | |
we didn't do that. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:22 | |
I got a chicken bone. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:26 | |
THEY SHRIEK AND LAUGH | 0:39:26 | 0:39:29 | |
Oh, no. Oh, no! | 0:39:29 | 0:39:31 | |
Do you know who it was? | 0:39:46 | 0:39:48 | |
Who was the one who did it? | 0:39:48 | 0:39:50 | |
I don't understand what happened. | 0:39:52 | 0:39:54 | |
-Who got high? -Somebody got caught smoking marijuana in the house. | 0:39:54 | 0:39:58 | |
Apparently. And McKinsey's uncle caught them. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:01 | |
And there was just, like, a lot of conflict. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:04 | |
He stepped up to me out of nowhere and tapped me on the shoulder. | 0:40:05 | 0:40:08 | |
He was, like, "If you have any marijuana around my niece, | 0:40:08 | 0:40:12 | |
"I kill you." | 0:40:12 | 0:40:13 | |
What did he say to you? | 0:40:13 | 0:40:15 | |
Tell me what he said. You told him about smoking in the house | 0:40:15 | 0:40:18 | |
and that if you caught him again, you'd kill him, or whatever? | 0:40:18 | 0:40:21 | |
-That's right. -And what did he say? -Nothing. He walked out the door. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:24 | |
I told him now. | 0:40:24 | 0:40:26 | |
That's a brother law. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:28 | |
If you don't quit smoking weed that weed around her, I'd kill him. | 0:40:28 | 0:40:31 | |
And I'm telling you right now, I've got shit on my side. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:34 | |
-That is ridiculous! -Come on! -It's a party. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:37 | |
THEY ALL SHOUT AT ONCE | 0:40:37 | 0:40:40 | |
ARGUMENT CONTINUES | 0:40:40 | 0:40:43 | |
It's sad her birthday party has to come to this. | 0:40:55 | 0:40:59 | |
Sad, is what it is. | 0:41:01 | 0:41:02 | |
Very sad. | 0:41:02 | 0:41:04 | |
-TANNOY: -Today is National Signing Day for Orangeburg-Wilkinson student athletes. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:17 | |
Live signings right here on this day. | 0:41:17 | 0:41:20 | |
You're going to have difficulties, | 0:41:21 | 0:41:23 | |
you're going to have a bunch of things that come at you. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:26 | |
You can't make no excuses. | 0:41:26 | 0:41:28 | |
People that make excuses become woulda-coulda-shoulda people. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:32 | |
I really don't want to become that. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:35 | |
The day you sign your name, you start the next chapter of your life. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:45 | |
These young men | 0:41:45 | 0:41:47 | |
have been blessed to have opportunity | 0:41:47 | 0:41:50 | |
to play on the next level. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:52 | |
It shows what we are about, | 0:41:52 | 0:41:54 | |
it shows the kind of students we put out into this community | 0:41:54 | 0:41:57 | |
and into this world. We're thankful for the families, | 0:41:57 | 0:42:00 | |
we're thankful for the athletes | 0:42:00 | 0:42:02 | |
and we're thankful to get to celebrate with them, | 0:42:02 | 0:42:04 | |
because today, they start the next chapter in their lives. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:08 | |
We've got James Valdez going to North Carolina State. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:13 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:42:13 | 0:42:15 | |
We've got Theren Uptigrow and Cornelius Walker. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:21 | |
Nothing is guaranteed. So when a school comes in saying, | 0:42:26 | 0:42:30 | |
"We like you, we want to offer you, that's big." | 0:42:30 | 0:42:34 | |
I wanted to play football. | 0:42:34 | 0:42:37 | |
That's my goal. I love the game so much. | 0:42:37 | 0:42:40 | |
Kordel Johnson... | 0:42:43 | 0:42:45 | |
..is going to my home school, | 0:42:49 | 0:42:51 | |
so they're going to be Bulldogs. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:53 | |
Hey, that's great. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:56 | |
South Carolina State, they gave me a shot, | 0:42:56 | 0:43:00 | |
they want me to come in and start, | 0:43:00 | 0:43:02 | |
and if I do good, they'll give me a full scholarship | 0:43:02 | 0:43:05 | |
in my second year. | 0:43:05 | 0:43:07 | |
-Are you proud of him? -I'm always proud of him. Always. | 0:43:12 | 0:43:15 | |
Every college had the same opportunity to come and sign me, | 0:43:15 | 0:43:18 | |
but they didn't, so I want to make State, | 0:43:18 | 0:43:21 | |
and I feel like I made the right choice. | 0:43:21 | 0:43:25 | |
And I'm going to do what I'm supposed to do | 0:43:25 | 0:43:27 | |
and just, you know, | 0:43:27 | 0:43:29 | |
do what I've been born to do. | 0:43:29 | 0:43:32 | |
Hey, we got it done. | 0:43:33 | 0:43:36 | |
What a fiasco! | 0:43:40 | 0:43:42 | |
You know, the sad part is, none of them get to come to school tomorrow. | 0:43:42 | 0:43:46 | |
Or the next day. Or the next day. | 0:43:46 | 0:43:48 | |
Gosh! Once you pull the trigger, the bullet is out of the gun. | 0:43:48 | 0:43:53 | |
I'm scared. I don't want to be a failure. | 0:43:53 | 0:43:58 | |
You're all going to jail. You was all in a stolen car. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:02 |
