00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.500
it'll

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:07.500
be a horizontal line right I

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:10.000
was told that they don't care what you know until

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.500
they know that you care so just being

00:00:12.500 --> 00:00:15.000
open with them letting them know that I'll

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.500
these things as well and it allows them to

00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:20.000
open up to me this is a slope you

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.500
have a good heart and he'll get

00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:25.000
you through your day I just

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.500
come to them as who I am I don't try to be

00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:30.000
anyone else I always see myself and

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.500
I relate

00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:35.000
to them I grew up in the neighborhood down the street I don't know

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.500
all of their backgrounds but I would assume that we

00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:40.000
have similar backgrounds so that's how I'm

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.500
able to connect with them that's where you starting from I

00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:45.000
kind of know the challenges that they face

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.500
and I'm able to relate to them he

00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:50.000
helped me understand what you can't just never give up on

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.500
your goals you got to keep trying to reach

00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:55.000
your goal so we applaud the why once I

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.500
get to know the kid I can see how they learn best and go with that

00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:00.000
everyone doesn't learn on the same page so

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.500
being able to get those kids and work 1-on-1

00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:05.000
with them to figure out their learning style

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.500
or what helps them to be able to succeed

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:10.000
is what what's important to me slow

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.500
is telling us rise over run dealing with kids in

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:15.000
general is just having patience with them everyone

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.500
is differently so just figuring out what type of student they

00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:20.000
are patients is the main thing so when

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.500
we plot that see I really thought I couldn't do it but now I'm

00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:25.000
getting A's B's I have

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.500
a future so he had like tell me doing good you

00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:30.000
don't mess up so I got to like get back in focus

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.500
I'm not strict but they also know that they can't just

00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:35.000
get over on me they know who I am they know that I mean

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.500
business so once I'm around them they know we

00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:40.000
here for a specific reason and we're about to get it done

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.500
he pushed me the hardest

00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:45.000
to get my grades up and

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.500
to focus on what I want to do after

00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:50.000
high school I feel like I owe him my

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.500
gratitude there's

00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:55.000
a lot of ups and downs 1 thing that I

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.500
can say is I love my job I enjoy coming to work

00:01:57.500 --> 00:02:00.000
I enjoy working with the kids some days they

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.500
can be a handful but this is what I

00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:05.000
signed up to do and we only plotting the X I've

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.500
been doing it for around 10 years so I've seen kids

00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:10.000
who are progressing through

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.500
life and that's what motivates me just exciting

00:02:12.500 --> 00:02:15.000
to see the type of person that they become
