0:02:59 > 0:03:01- TANNOY:- Good morning, faculty staff and students,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04what an exciting day at Bruin Nation.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07We have a lot of work ahead of us.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10We're back to business as usual.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16We're having a great day at the Orangeburg-Wilkinson High School.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20The hard work we put in the past month is paying off.
0:03:20 > 0:03:26We've got lower suspensions, we've got better academic engagement.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Mr Secretary, how are you?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30'What we're doing is working.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32'I use the illustration of two dollar bills,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35'two American dollar bills.'
0:03:35 > 0:03:37This dollar bill in my left hand is valued at a dollar,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40and this dollar bill in my right hand is valued at a dollar.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44But if I change the physical shape and structure and look
0:03:44 > 0:03:48of this dollar bill, by crumpling it up
0:03:48 > 0:03:52and by throwing it on the floor and stepping on it,
0:03:52 > 0:03:54what is its value now?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57It's the same.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Why, then, do we treat children who look like this
0:04:01 > 0:04:04different from children who look like this?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07SCHOOL BELL RINGS
0:04:19 > 0:04:22In basketball, you know, some people tend to think
0:04:22 > 0:04:25we babysit all day long.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30Every time that we get to relate basketball to life, we do that.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Missed shot.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Rendull has always been a go-getter.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46I don't see him NOT being responsible.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I don't see him NOT wanting to be something in life.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Rendull, he's inspiring.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54He is a different type of cat.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Yeah, I love him. That's my brother.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Good!
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Like, he know a lot of people and a lot of people know him.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I know a lot of people know me,
0:05:05 > 0:05:07but I want a lot of people to know me like they know him.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10I got it, Ra. I got it, Ra.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Rendull's like the backbone of the team.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15He holds a lot on his shoulders.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Rendull is popular with the ladies.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23But... OK, I don't want to get into that, I don't want to get into that.

0:05:49 > 0:05:50Hey, Ra.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54HE CONTINUES TO RAP
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Hey, come and talk to me. - Watch out!
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I just want to nip the situation in the bud from the other night,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05just to move on from it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Have a seat.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10We had an incident where Rendull...
0:06:11 > 0:06:15..he expressed his anger in the wrong way.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Actually, he had...
0:06:17 > 0:06:20At the time it looked like he got into a little scuffle
0:06:20 > 0:06:22with another guy on the court.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26I caught an attitude and let me temper take me somewhere
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I wasn't supposed to be on the court as a leader of the team.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30OK. Well, as long as you know.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34And that's the main thing. Just like a parent beating a child.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35If I'm going to beat my child,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38I want him to know why he's getting his butt tore up. OK?
0:06:38 > 0:06:43So what do you feel led to where we are right now?
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Frustration.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Not thinking, really, before you react.- Yeah.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Supposed to be the leader of the team. Period.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52You know good and well there's going to be other situations
0:06:52 > 0:06:55where you're going to be just as frustrated.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58It's more than about basketball - it's about life. You now?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00You're going to get frustrated in life later on,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03so it's important that you learn how to deal with it. You know?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Don't try to live life without getting frustrated -
0:07:06 > 0:07:08that's not realistic.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10But you deal with it and you keep moving on, moving on, moving on.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14You've got to go get it now.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17And I guess more so now cos it's my senior year,
0:07:17 > 0:07:18the team on my back now.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- SCHOOL BELL RINGS - Keep movin'!

0:07:38 > 0:07:41who don't know how to dress or something. Come on!
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Hey.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Oh!
0:07:47 > 0:07:50All I need is my gold in my mouth now, I'll be good.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- What up, homie? - I know you paid a lot for that.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54You don't want to know.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56But when you get there, it don't matter what it costs.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59That's what I'm trying to teach y'all.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Man, that's a picture!
0:08:06 > 0:08:08It's just a tie.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10You need to be very serious, Vernon,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- because the finish line is right there.- Yes.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16All right? And I know you like to play, you like to have fun,
0:08:16 > 0:08:20but this is a time for you to be very serious about your future.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22What are your plans?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Right now, I just have a passion for nursing.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27OK. Beautiful.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Have you started applying to colleges?
0:08:28 > 0:08:33Well, I started applying, but I had a change of mind.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36So I'm going to New York, where my family is at.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I'm going to a technical college up there.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- Who's in New York?- My aunts.- OK.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42The reason why want to go to New York, for one,
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- because...it's New York! - HE LAUGHS
0:08:44 > 0:08:46And then like, by me being a gay male,
0:08:46 > 0:08:50that's where the scene is at for gay males, is in New York.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Good plan. That's a great plan.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- Remember what I said about being serious.- Yes.- All right?
0:08:55 > 0:09:00I'm not telling you not to have fun and enjoy this part of your journey.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- I can't wait. I'm so excited. - All right.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05We'll see you. I'm going to stay on top of it.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Yes, sir.- You do the same. - All righty.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I don't want to be here in Orangeburg,
0:09:09 > 0:09:12there's nothing in Orangeburg for me.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I'm just so big of a person to be in this little town
0:09:15 > 0:09:18and not experiencing things and going out
0:09:18 > 0:09:19and seeing different things.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21SCHOOL BELL RINGS
0:09:25 > 0:09:28That gangster over there!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30America's biggest gangster!

0:09:32 > 0:09:34You got my boy Big Cesc right here!
0:09:34 > 0:09:36We got Al over here!
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I see myself around school as a cool dude.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Down to earth, everybody rocking with me.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44That's just something my family are known for, like.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47That swag is there, yeah, all the time.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I can't help that. That's something I was born in.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54I came out the womb with flavour.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Rendull has a great chance of getting into college.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- We have a guy working on his highlight tape right now.- Mm-hm.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07When that comes out, I've got a list of colleges that I'll send that to.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09And that's the route I'm hoping to go with Rendull.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10- Right.- Right.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15I talked to him last week - he was kind of down, you know?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- And, erm... - He...has a whole lot going on.- OK.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19You know, he has a whole lot going on,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21you know, with outside situations.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Family, you know, that baby and everything, and...
0:10:24 > 0:10:26What baby? He has a baby?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- He's expecting...- Getting one? - Yeah.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- Somebody here at the school? - Mm-hm, mm-hm. Yes.- Wow.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- He is the oldest of, maybe, five brothers.- OK.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- So he helps out a lot at home. - Mm-hm.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Dad works out of town.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I know just from talking with him in the past,
0:10:42 > 0:10:46that weighs on him more sometimes than others.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49So college for him is going to be like a vacation.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50- Oh...- Yeah.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54When I talked with him last, he said, "Coach, I am so ready to go."
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Ma, is the food ready? - Yeah. Come and get your food.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Lamar, what you want to drink?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Get yourself a drink, go and sit down and eat your food.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Right, I want you to go to college, and I want you to be somebody,
0:11:16 > 0:11:20and I want you to do everything that I did not get a chance to do.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24And the reason why I didn't get a chance to do it - because I had you.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27I had you. I had you at 16.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30You have a way better life than I had.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32You've got a lot of people that's out there,
0:11:32 > 0:11:34you know, rooting for you. You know?
0:11:34 > 0:11:38So do something we couldn't do, you know?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41You've just got to try to make it out.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43That's just something I've always seen since I was little.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I know I'm going to play basketball in college,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I know I'm going to do this, that and the third.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50That's my boy. As long as you make me proud.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I mean, with the scholarship thing, I'm just...
0:11:52 > 0:11:54You're just in the waiting process right now.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56It's going to come. Yeah, it's going to come.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- In a short time, you'll get it. - As long as you keep working hard...
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- You know, hard work will always pay off.- Always.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04I want the scholarship.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- There's so many wrong ways you can get the money.- Right.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- I could have been going on the streets...- On the streets, right.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- ..robbing.- Right, selling drugs. - Selling dope.- No.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Anything, like, to get money, because just...
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I mean, you probably have about five, six crackheads
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- walk past our house every night. - Right.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Cos I had so many big cousins go to jail for drugs...
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Just because they wanted to support their family.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32I just be thinking, like, if they would have went to school,
0:12:32 > 0:12:34they would have had nothing to worry about.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39You've got to do something with yourself. You've got to.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50I'm 17. I've got a daughter on the way.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52So I just want these scholarships. I just...
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I'm just trying to get these papers. That's all.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57I'm trying to do what I've got to do.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58And these books...
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I'm letting them have it out there on the court,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03so somebody...somebody's going to see me.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Boy, you're always asking me for money.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Why? What do you want 75 cents for?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Something to drink. - Something to drink?- Yeah.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- Get a job.- Thank you. - Go get your drink. You're welcome.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Money-wise, he's different from the other principal we had.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Money-wise, that dude's got money out the wazoo.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Here, that's 60. All right, and I'll get it back.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- All right?- All right.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Tell her happy birthday. All right.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53It's just money, and God's blessed me with the ability to go out
0:13:53 > 0:13:54and generate and make it.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57You know, how fortunate I am to be able to share it
0:13:57 > 0:14:00with kids that are unfortunate.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Dr Peters is a cool dude.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07He's a real cool dude. He shows love to everybody.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10If you're trying to help yourself, then he's going to help you.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13I'm going to be so broke when I leave this place.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Seriously.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Huh? What?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27'In the hallways, a child grabs me and says,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30' "I need to talk to you. I've got to talk to you." '
0:14:30 > 0:14:32They're telling you you have to move by when?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- I guess... I don't know... - Text back and ask her.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38She's not answering my phone calls. See?
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Wait a minute.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48OK. So, when she texts you back,
0:14:48 > 0:14:51you see me today and find out what is going on.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Keep me posted, all right? OK. All right.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03So, this child works 33 hours a week.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05She just told me her mom texted her
0:15:05 > 0:15:08and told them that she needs to find a place to stay,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11because they just got put out of the public housing.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14They had an inspection, and the inspection didn't pass,
0:15:14 > 0:15:18and that she needs to try to find some place to live,
0:15:18 > 0:15:21because the mom says she's taking her little brothers
0:15:21 > 0:15:23and they're going to a shelter.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26So she told this child that she needs to try to find
0:15:26 > 0:15:28some place to stay.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44And so, are you still... What are you going to major in?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Are you still thinking about doing nursing at any school there?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49I was thinking of doing nursing.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I've got to get out of this godforsaken city!
0:15:52 > 0:15:54It's not that bad.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57It's not, but I've been here too long.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Erm, there's a 65 application fee and...
0:16:00 > 0:16:02SHE LAUGHS
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Erm, yeah, so...- OK. - Go ahead.- I'm confused.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Like, how can I have that many absences?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- Well, if you are more than 30 minutes late, it's an absence.- Oh!
0:16:10 > 0:16:12So that might be what it is, for first block.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14There's a September, October,
0:16:14 > 0:16:15you missed days in November, December...
0:16:15 > 0:16:19I see you have February 2nd, 3rd and 4th, three days back to back.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- Do you know where you were those days?- Yeah.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- I know...- Do you have an excuse? - No. But I know where I was.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Erm, this is where you are, graduation-wise.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- That's a D average.- OK.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35So, you want to have at least a C average, going into any school.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- You want to definitely work on bringing that up.- Yeah.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- DR PETERS: Did you talk to your mom? - This morning.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- You already talked to your mom? - Uh-huh.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46You haven't heard anything else from her?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49She texted me and being... It was just like...
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Let's see what she's saying.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54I just told her that I was going to stay with her.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57So, what about your sister? Where is your sister going to stay?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- She's coming with me.- OK.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- And you already talked to your mom...- Yes, sir.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- ..about both of them staying with you?- Yes, sir.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- And what did she say? - She said it's fine.- Oh.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Here, take that with you.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13All right, text me and let me know if anything happens,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16you need me to do something...
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- All right? Keep me posted.- OK.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21It's very nice of you for helping the way you're helping.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24I mean, that's what life is all about.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27We're supposed to help each other. All right? Thank you, sweetie.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- Timberland, thank you. - You're welcome.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Mmm. Mm-mm.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45PHONE RINGS
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Wow... Yes, ma'am.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I was at Miss Johnson's today.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56She had a look at the college in New York or whatever.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Guess how much the application fee is?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- What?- 67.- Yeah...
0:18:01 > 0:18:05I was like, "For a community college?" Like, "What?"
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Yeah, that doesn't sound right.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09But that's what it said on the website,
0:18:09 > 0:18:11so I was like, "Oh, God, no."
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Vernon is older than me,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16and I scold him like he's the child
0:18:16 > 0:18:18or he's the little brother.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22In your situation, cheerleading doesn't really matter.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25It's basically a non factor,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27especially when you're talking about academics.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Uh-huh.- So study, study, study.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- We met in middle school, actually. - Oh, yeah, dude! Do it.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41It wasn't until our senior year -
0:18:41 > 0:18:45that's when we bonded like brother and sister.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- Here we go. I hope it's a pass. - HE LAUGHS
0:18:49 > 0:18:51'I love her.'
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Like, I can't ask for anything more than a friend like her.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00Our senior year, he ended up staying with me and my mother.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Home, sweet home!
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I was homeless. But what changed my life, like,
0:19:11 > 0:19:16what changed me from acting the way I acted...
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Oh, Bryanna Davis.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22All my junk, dirty clothes, clean clothes, everything...
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Got the Gucci bag. Know what I mean?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28My bed is right here.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I pull the bed out from right there...
0:19:31 > 0:19:34and I blow it up right here.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Just be right here. A big old bed.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Pillow, flatscreen TV...
0:19:40 > 0:19:41You've got the best TV in the house.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Teachers will tell you, "Oh, that's a troubled child.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48"He won't do nothing with his life.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51"He's just going to be another bum on the corner.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54"He's going to be stuck in Orangeburg, or wherever."
0:19:54 > 0:20:00But if people knew what I went through, they'd understand how...
0:20:00 > 0:20:01the reason why I act out.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I want to get my PhD.
0:20:24 > 0:20:30The higher in education you get, the more money you're likely to get.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Like, I'm not just going to, like, sit there
0:20:33 > 0:20:36and look at the bills pile up.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38I know that I have to put the work in
0:20:38 > 0:20:43and ease the debt off my father's shoulders.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46All right, let's hit the trail, Gail.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47# Hi-ho, hi-ho... #
0:20:47 > 0:20:49HE WHISTLES
0:20:49 > 0:20:53# Hi-ho, hi-ho It's off to work we go. #
0:20:56 > 0:20:58So, the finances are tight, but, you know,
0:20:58 > 0:21:03you either find a way or you can find a reason to complain, you know?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Going to do something. I'm going to do something.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08That didn't take long, did it?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- See you later.- Yes, ma'am.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Have you got napkins?- Of course.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- Have a good day.- OK.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24I made a promise.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Even as, like, a kid, I made promises and stuff,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29and I like to keep my promises.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Like, I'll be like, "Yeah, Daddy, we're going to have that and that."
0:21:33 > 0:21:35So I want to do my best to keep those promises
0:21:35 > 0:21:39because they're not just something that I know that he wants,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41they're something that I want as well.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50The global challenges of the 21st century
0:21:50 > 0:21:52require innovative thinking,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55technological ingenuity and bold action.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58The Georgia Institute of Technology is meeting these challenges head on,
0:21:58 > 0:22:00and making life better for people...
0:22:00 > 0:22:02I think I have a good chance.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05People have said I have a good chance.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I believe in myself.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11All those applications you put in -
0:22:11 > 0:22:13you're going to start getting these acceptance letters,
0:22:13 > 0:22:15e-mails from these colleges.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18What would be your number-one choice?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- Erm, Georgia Tech.- Mm-hm.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25And so, you did your application and you're just waiting?
0:22:25 > 0:22:29- We're very proud of you, all right? - Yes, sir.- OK.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30You can get in,
0:22:30 > 0:22:34but if it costs too much for your family to pay for your tuition
0:22:34 > 0:22:38or for your room and board and fees and food,
0:22:38 > 0:22:41then you're probably not going to be able to go there.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45I do think I deserve at least one scholarship.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47At least one.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52A college education in America right now
0:22:52 > 0:22:55is more expensive than buying a house.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57If a student gets out of college,
0:22:57 > 0:23:00and if they have 200,000 in debt,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03and they're only making 50,000 a year,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06why did you go to college?
0:23:06 > 0:23:10I'm trying to play it like, yeah, if I get the scholarship,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12I'll go to school for free.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16My mom and dad won't have to worry so much about me in school.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27We can just get them out of here and get them home safely today.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32Why do y'all cuss so much, man? I'm telling you.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Can I have a dollar? - I don't... I have a dollar.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40Mmm. I heard you got some news, man. You ain't shared it with me.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- What?- About your girl. - Oh, yeah, my little...
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- I didn't know that.- You didn't? - No.- I thought you knew that.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- No, I didn't know that. - Yeah, got it...
0:23:47 > 0:23:50That's your girlfriend from a while, though, right?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- You've been with her... - That's correct.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53- So, you OK? I mean, you...- Mm-hm.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- That'll change your life, right there.- Mm-hm.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- Slow me down it a little bit. - Yeah, slow you down a whole lot.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Is she still here in school, or she at home?
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- She's at home. - All right, I'm here for you.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06All right? The good and the bad.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- We're good.- All right.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- All right, guys.- All right, Doc.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Oh!
0:24:33 > 0:24:35This house...
0:24:35 > 0:24:39have...everything...
0:24:40 > 0:24:43..that played in...
0:24:43 > 0:24:48of me growing up, being punished, being taught lessons.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Arguments turning into fistfights,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52turning into the police coming.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Like, just the whole kitchen on fire and everything.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Like, this has so many...
0:24:59 > 0:25:03The biggest water fight in Orangeburg.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08And then when the tub broken, we had to go warm water up in the pot,
0:25:08 > 0:25:14and then we had, like, a little container that we put the water in.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18This right here was my mom's room.
0:25:20 > 0:25:26Can you imagine a mother and three kids sleeping in one bed?
0:25:26 > 0:25:30This has been like this ever since I can remember.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35You see that hole up there on that wall?
0:25:35 > 0:25:39I punched the wall, cos I told my mom that I was gay.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42And my boyfriend at the time, he texted me,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45and then my mom tried to text him, and play as me,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47and then he called.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50He was like, "Oh, hey, baby." My mom was like, "Baby?!"
0:25:50 > 0:25:53And she got all extra for no reason.
0:25:55 > 0:26:01Me and my mom, we don't speak as much as we should,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03as a mother and a son.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05We didn't just break down and just like,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08"Don't talk to me and I won't talk to you."
0:26:08 > 0:26:10We just slowly distanced ourselves from each other.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14I've been getting into my feelings a lot about certain things,
0:26:14 > 0:26:16but I have to think, like,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19"What are you getting into your feelings for, Vernon?"
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Like, don't let this little incident stop you
0:26:22 > 0:26:24from where you're going to go in life.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36I know I've got a daughter on the way.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I know if I go to college,
0:26:39 > 0:26:42I don't want, like, her to want for nothing.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44I'm still in the process of getting recruited.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48The scholarship, it's a lot... Not only for us but for our parents.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Like, cos if I don't get no scholarship,
0:26:51 > 0:26:54my parents, they're going to have to pay for college,
0:26:54 > 0:26:57your parents, they're going to have to pay for college.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00And just, like, help us with the baby until we get on our feet.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03It's just a lot.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Well, I think he will probably get a scholarship.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- RADIO:- It's almost game time in the Bruins Den,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20with just one day to go before the big local rivalry basketball game.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22A lot is on the line for this team,
0:27:22 > 0:27:26but especially for captain Rendull Middleton.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- What's up, Kev? - Can I borrow 20 until Friday?- What?
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- You're hurting me, man. - I'll give it back to you Friday.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42- Thank you, Dr Peters. I'll give it back to you Friday.- You're so sweet.
0:27:42 > 0:27:48It's now 9.45, and I've issued 260 cash today.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52INDISTINCT RAPPING
0:27:56 > 0:27:57Ah!
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Oh, wait!
0:28:02 > 0:28:06What cheer are you doing tomorrow? Let him see if it's agreeable.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10You're going to do the two cheers. Go from the beginning to the end.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11He says good to go, we out.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15I know. Her mother's going to come to the house and get it.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22HE LAUGHS
0:28:23 > 0:28:26I'll call my mom and see if she wants to go.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Do you think she's going to come?
0:28:31 > 0:28:35I know he maybe wishes that he could have
0:28:35 > 0:28:38a better relationship with his mom.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42I think he finds it hard, but he pushes it aside sometimes.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46She not going to pick up!
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- 'Hello?'- Oh, Lord. Hello.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52- 'Hello.' - Erm, can you make it to the game?
0:28:52 > 0:28:54- Can you make it...? - SHE SPEAKS OVER HIM
0:28:54 > 0:28:56'What time's the game going to start?'
0:28:56 > 0:29:00At six, if I'm not mistaken. Six o'clock.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Yeah, are you coming? Do you want to come? Come and see.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- Come and see your son. - 'And see?'- Yeah.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09'The question is, what do the parents have to...
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- 'Do they have to be dressed up or what?'- No. Not really.
0:29:12 > 0:29:17I feel as though, deep down inside, Vernon misses his mom.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20He wants comfort from her.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25Hello.
0:29:27 > 0:29:28I'm good. How are you?
0:29:30 > 0:29:32What's the matter?
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Yeah, that's really bad.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36I...I just helped a lady this morning.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38We had to come up with 300 to give her,
0:29:38 > 0:29:40and I gave every penny I had.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42But listen, I will see her in the morning
0:29:42 > 0:29:45if I can help in any way. OK?
0:29:45 > 0:29:47All right.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50OK. I will. Take care. Bye-bye.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Parents calling me to help turn their lights back on.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00I mean, how did we get to this point?
0:30:00 > 0:30:02I mean, how do we go from...
0:30:03 > 0:30:06"..Can I get a bag of chips?"
0:30:06 > 0:30:08to finding a place to live
0:30:08 > 0:30:11and helping them get money that's going to their house
0:30:11 > 0:30:13to turn their lights back on?
0:30:13 > 0:30:16I mean, at some point in time,
0:30:16 > 0:30:19I have to draw the line and say I can't help.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22When it's... I can't help.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34'Deputies are searching for a man
0:30:34 > 0:30:37'they say is behind a deadly shooting.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40'Our Billie Jean Shaw was at the scene today.'
0:30:40 > 0:30:43'Around two o'clock, investigators discovered his body
0:30:43 > 0:30:45'in his St Anne Street home.
0:30:45 > 0:30:50'They say he sustained multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body.'
0:30:54 > 0:30:59One of the seniors, her boyfriend, who was also the father of her baby,
0:30:59 > 0:31:02shot the guy and killed him.
0:31:04 > 0:31:10And the guy that got killed is the cousin of some of our kids.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13They told us he was in the house. He walked in,
0:31:13 > 0:31:15- and that's when he pulled out... - And the baby was in there?
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Mm-hm. And he pulled out the gun...
0:31:19 > 0:31:22..and shot the boy. I just don't know what happened.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Why? What made him pull out the gun and shoot him?
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Some... I don't know if it's gang-related.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30I don't know what's going on.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- Hmm...- So the body is still... - Mm-hm.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39That baby, that's a newborn.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42So what changes this, y'all? What changes this?
0:31:42 > 0:31:44What stops this kind of stuff, though?
0:31:44 > 0:31:48- I don't know. - How do you stop this from happening?
0:31:48 > 0:31:50I...I don't know.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- So, where are you going when you leave school?- St Anne's.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Do you usually ride the bus home? Where in St Anne's?
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- Sharon Street.- Where it happened?
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Are you sure you want go over there?
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Y'all need to be mindful of
0:32:16 > 0:32:18what y'all do when you leave school today.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- All right.- OK.- Seriously.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31Schools don't have procedures for things like, you know, this,
0:32:31 > 0:32:35other than making sure that the counsellors are ready.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38If I'm lost, imagine how they feel.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40You know, I'm lost for words right now
0:32:40 > 0:32:44because I can't even comprehend what's going on, so...
0:33:10 > 0:33:14If you grow up in the apartment's right here, next to O-W,
0:33:14 > 0:33:16then of course you're going to see fighting,
0:33:16 > 0:33:20you're going to see violence, you're going to see drug dealing.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26There's nothing to do. It's easy to get in trouble.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Everybody's doing the same thing.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31Part of being in the streets, man,
0:33:31 > 0:33:33it's kind of like every man for themselves, you know?
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Not being able to trust a lot of people.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Trusting nobody, you know what I mean?
0:33:39 > 0:33:43It's a hood everywhere. You can't just put out the blame.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46I mean, it does affect people.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50But also, it's about how much do you not
0:33:50 > 0:33:53want to be the product of your environment.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22Everything that you worked for, this is what it's all about tonight.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26Right? So, you know, I don't want you to get burned out,
0:34:26 > 0:34:29but you've got a million reasons to be ready for this game.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31I'm talking about, when you're tired,
0:34:31 > 0:34:34you've got to pull energy from your toes!
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Find energy from somewhere!
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Come about 7.30.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- Game time.- Oh, yeah, game time.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Mic check, mic check, let's get it rocking.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48What up, O-W?
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Are we going to turn it up a little bit?
0:34:57 > 0:35:03It's equally important that we celebrate superstars...
0:35:04 > 0:35:08..who academically prove themselves in our classroom
0:35:08 > 0:35:09each and every day,
0:35:09 > 0:35:13so tonight, we've decided, at an athletic event,
0:35:13 > 0:35:16to celebrate those students who have straight A's,
0:35:16 > 0:35:18who have made my principal's list.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22So join me in celebrating their achievements academically
0:35:22 > 0:35:24here tonight, please.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25Jalena Jones.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:35:36 > 0:35:40As we usually don't get that much recognition...
0:35:41 > 0:35:44..finally we got a little bit of shine and it was nice.
0:35:52 > 0:35:57Maybe Vernon's mom would come, or maybe she wouldn't.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59I tried to keep the situation positive
0:35:59 > 0:36:02because I knew if I talked negatively,
0:36:02 > 0:36:06he probably would've thought, "Oh, maybe she wouldn't come,"
0:36:06 > 0:36:08or something like that.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11I was excited and nervous at the same time
0:36:11 > 0:36:13cos I didn't want to mess up anything.
0:36:16 > 0:36:17And then...
0:36:20 > 0:36:22..she was there!
0:36:26 > 0:36:29THEY CHANT
0:36:31 > 0:36:33It was a really big moment for me,
0:36:33 > 0:36:36AND she brought my sister and my little brother.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53- ANNOUNCER:- Vernon.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:36:59 > 0:37:01This is a very big year for Vernon.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04This is a big year for both of us.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Well, all the seniors, basically.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Come on, let me tell you something. As long as we play together,
0:37:12 > 0:37:15as long as we believe in each other, we can't be beat.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17We can't be beat.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19That means we've got to stand behind each other.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22That means we've got to pick each other up when you make a mistake
0:37:22 > 0:37:23and we've got to be like that,
0:37:23 > 0:37:25we've got to be a close-knit family, fellas.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27And I'm telling you like this -
0:37:27 > 0:37:29a team that goes out there and that plays together

0:41:10 > 0:41:12I got to get him something he had before.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Something, anything.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17You feel good for something positive,
0:41:17 > 0:41:19instead of them trying to come and get me out the jailhouse,
0:41:19 > 0:41:21or something like that, you know.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36Said you going somewhere, boy.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Hey, that's my baby!
0:41:39 > 0:41:43You're going somewhere...and move me to California or something.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45I hope so!
0:41:45 > 0:41:48- CHANTING:- Go, Rara! Go, Rara!
0:41:53 > 0:41:58I'm praying for something good, something's got to happen.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01It's getting real. 2016 is real for me.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04I don't know about anybody else - it's real for me.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12I'm actually really excited for her.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15I know she's going to get into Georgia Tech,
0:42:15 > 0:42:18so I don't know why she's even worried about it.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20- Hey!- Hey, girl!
0:42:20 > 0:42:22- Hey!- How are you doing?
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Are you ready for the big reveal?
0:42:33 > 0:42:35I just want to get it over with.
0:42:35 > 0:42:36I'm very nervous.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48- No.- It's OK.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Hmm...
0:43:04 > 0:43:05I'm sorry.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11- Daddy.- What happened? - I didn't get into Georgia Tech.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14All right, it's pretty tough to get into.
0:43:14 > 0:43:19And sometimes they don't always pick the best students.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Yeah, I guess.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23Angela, bye!
0:43:28 > 0:43:31I don't like to fail at anything.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36I don't... Failure is not a good feeling.
0:43:41 > 0:43:45My birth mother passed away when I was in second grade...
0:43:47 > 0:43:52..and...she is one of the people that helped me
0:43:52 > 0:43:56to become the type of person I am today
0:43:56 > 0:44:00and I knew that she would just want me to succeed,
0:44:00 > 0:44:03so that's why I want to succeed, to make her proud.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14I know...she wouldn't be disappointed
0:44:14 > 0:44:17since I didn't get accepted into Georgia Tech.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22I know she would want me to keep trying for other schools.
0:44:22 > 0:44:26So that's...that's what I'm going to do.
0:44:45 > 0:44:50I think we're at a point right now where you have to make a decision.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54Go out there, compete hard!
0:44:54 > 0:44:58There's no room for mistakes in players at all.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03I've invited probably, like, 40, maybe 50.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06- I told him, ma'am... - That's her brother-in-law.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08..if he didn't quit smoking that weed around here,
0:45:08 > 0:45:11I would kill him and I'm telling you right now,
0:45:11 > 0:45:15- I've got shit on my side.- All right...- That is wrong!- Chill out!
