00:00:00No, I'm not number one, cause I'm in my own category.
00:00:27The perfect blend of evident and allegory.
00:00:29The perfect supplement to this triumphant story.
00:00:32Of black renaissance and it's a Santa glory.
00:00:35Academics like to call it double consciousness.
00:00:38I call it melanin-induced confidence.
00:00:40I call it representing every continent.
00:00:43And making sure those asleep are now cognizant.
00:00:46Not really your rapper, but limits don't occur to me.
00:00:48Graduated first, Whip Shop University.
00:00:51They trying to figure out which box to put me in.
00:00:54Life is all about choices.
00:00:56And the choices we make can either make or break us.
00:00:59My name is Aisha.
00:01:01And this is my story.
00:01:04The cops would not be coming wrong here if you weren't selling that Whip.
00:01:08I quit doing that shit.
00:01:09This is my mom and my brother Keevon.
00:01:11As usual, Keevon does something mad dumb and Ma gets pissed.
00:01:15Mom, why do you keep sweating me?
00:01:17I can't have you here causing trouble.
00:01:18Wait, you're kicking me out?
00:01:19Yes, I am.
00:01:20Uncle Harold has offered to have you stay with him.
00:01:23Ma, hold on, baby girl.
00:01:25You either stay here or get a real job.
00:01:27I'm out, Mom.
00:01:28Read this letter.
00:01:29It's really important.
00:01:32Keevon was our school's basketball star, but tragedy changed Keevon's life when his best
00:01:37friend Quinton was shot at the basketball court.
00:01:42The murder trial for Quinton took a toll on Keevon.
00:01:45He started smoking weed and he eventually dropped out of school.
00:01:49Ma tried her best to keep him on track, but he slipped further and further away.
00:01:55My dad was in the army and he died in combat five years ago.
00:02:00My mom still struggles with his absence.
00:02:14Every school has their IT girls.
00:02:16The popular girls.
00:02:17The ones that everyone wants to be friends with.
00:02:20Rudy is the IT girl.
00:02:22And as you know, every IT girl needs a supporting cast.
00:02:26Tanya and Shakia play that role quite well.
00:02:28They're her minions.
00:02:31Lance Matthews.
00:02:34The school's basketball star.
00:02:36He's smart and focused.
00:02:38Every girl in this school wants to get with Lance.
00:02:41I don't stand a chance against girls like Rudy.
00:02:43Why would a boy like Lance look at a girl like me?
00:02:46Marissa and I have been friends since preschool.
00:02:49No one messes with Marissa.
00:02:51Oh my God.
00:02:52I thought I missed the bus.
00:02:53I was running mad late.
00:02:54What's up?
00:02:55You don't know how to answer texts?
00:02:57I got home mad late last night.
00:02:59I didn't see him till like midnight.
00:03:00I was out with Bay.
00:03:02And?
00:03:05No, you didn't.
00:03:06No, just kidding.
00:03:07But I am not graduating high school a virgin.
00:03:09Believe me.
00:03:10Marissa, you're too much sometimes.
00:03:12But you love me.
00:03:13All right.
00:03:14So here's the team.
00:03:15Last night I got a letter in the mail saying I'm one of the four finalists for the Conrad College.
00:03:19Oh my God.
00:03:20Girl, I knew that S.A.U. wrote was bomb.
00:03:22So I guess my dream to go to Harvard will come true.
00:03:25Bro, if you get it.
00:03:26That should be bomb.
00:03:30Marcus completes our trio.
00:03:31He's my best friend.
00:03:33And unfortunately, boys like Terrell like to pick on him.
00:03:36Oh shit, my bad.
00:03:37What the fuck, bro?
00:03:38Bag it.
00:03:43I'm sorry.
00:03:44This is so fucking annoying.
00:03:45I'm sorry.
00:03:46Are you all right?
00:03:47Yeah.
00:03:48Look, I'm gonna go over there and punch this bitch ass in the face.
00:03:49Brissa, I love you.
00:03:50But please let it go.
00:03:51Fine.
00:03:52Wait for this freaking bus.
00:03:53Hey.
00:03:54This guy, oh my God.
00:03:55Ugh.
00:03:56Come sit with me and my boys.
00:03:57Jaden's mad annoy her.
00:03:58Later then?
00:03:59Yeah.
00:04:00Same spot?
00:04:01You already know.
00:04:02Ew.
00:04:03Look at you, boy.
00:04:04Look at you.
00:04:05I don't know.
00:04:06I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:04:07I'm sorry.
00:04:08I'm sorry.
00:04:09I'm sorry.
00:04:10I'm sorry.
00:04:11I'm sorry.
00:04:12I'm sorry.
00:04:13I'm sorry.
00:04:14I'm sorry.
00:04:15I'm sorry.
00:04:16I'm sorry.
00:04:17I'm sorry.
00:04:18I'm sorry.
00:04:19I'm sorry.
00:04:20I'm sorry.
00:04:21I'm sorry.
00:04:22Ew.
00:04:23Look at you blushing.
00:04:24Oh my God.
00:04:25Yeah, you're pathetic.
00:04:26Come on, bye.
00:04:27You're just jealous.
00:04:28Mm-hmm.
00:04:29Mm-hmm.
00:04:30Okay, let's do SAT words.
00:04:32All right.
00:04:33Where are we with the scoring board?
00:04:34You're at 25, Marissa 23, and I need to catch up.
00:04:38Only 20.
00:04:39Mm-hmm.
00:04:40Okay, the word is ubiquitous.
00:04:43You always gotta come up with the hard words.
00:04:45I know this one.
00:04:47Does it mean to be everywhere?
00:04:50Like to be present or something like that?
00:04:51You got it.
00:04:52Okay, yes.
00:04:53I'm coming for y'all, ladies.
00:04:54Y'all better watch out.
00:04:55Okay.
00:04:56Your score is 22.
00:04:57I don't know her name, but she like my fashion.
00:05:00Play my songs just to find the cash show.
00:05:03Begging friends, baby, would that happen?
00:05:06Fuck your man, play me with that happen.
00:05:09I don't know your name, but she like my fashion.
00:05:12You know what?
00:05:13I'm not really feeling this class.
00:05:15Miss Jones is mad at me.
00:05:17True.
00:05:18I'm not trying to waste my morning in that class, honestly, and I don't give a shit.
00:05:22Guys, we could even deep shit for the older class, though.
00:05:24Who gives a shit?
00:05:26Torell!
00:05:27I can't believe they would do that in school.
00:05:28Yo, that's the thug life.
00:05:29We didn't see anything.
00:05:30You heard me?
00:05:31Nothing.
00:05:32Nothing.
00:05:33Good morning.
00:05:34Good morning.
00:05:35Good morning, Dudley High.
00:05:36Our very own Aisha Johnson is the first student ever from Dudley High to make it this far for the Conrad Scholarship.
00:05:40Let's congratulate Aisha!
00:05:41What's up?
00:05:42We are so proud of you, Aisha.
00:05:43Thanks for writing my recommendation.
00:05:44What do you mean they would do that in school?
00:05:45What do you mean they would do that in school?
00:05:46What do you mean they would do that in school?
00:05:47What do you mean they would do that in school?
00:05:48Yo, that's the thug life.
00:05:49We didn't see anything.
00:05:50You heard me.
00:05:51Nothing.
00:05:52Good morning.
00:05:53Good morning.
00:05:54Good morning, Dudley High.
00:05:55Our very own Aisha Johnson is the first student ever from Dudley High to make it this far for the Conrad Scholarship.
00:06:01Let's congratulate Aisha!
00:06:05What's up?
00:06:06We are so proud of you, Aisha.
00:06:08Thanks for writing my recommendation letter, miss.
00:06:11I'm sure that helped.
00:06:12You're welcome.
00:06:13But it was your essay and GPA that got you to the finals.
00:06:31Marissa's here, Aisha, Marcus, Terrell, and Lance.
00:06:44I'm missing Rudy, Tanya, and Shakia.
00:06:50Has anyone seen them?
00:06:55Aisha?
00:06:56Can I use the bathroom, miss?
00:06:59Come get a pass.
00:07:12Damn, Tanya.
00:07:13You still can't hang?
00:07:15Ain't that your cousin?
00:07:16These private school kids, you'll never get used to it.
00:07:19Watch.
00:07:24See?
00:07:25Easy peasy.
00:07:29I got rid of you.
00:07:32I didn't even think this is the last night for the airport.
00:07:34You can't go from now.
00:07:35I let the airport.
00:07:36It was a pleasure.
00:07:37I won't wait for you.
00:07:38I'm so happy.
00:07:39I'm so happy.
00:07:40You're comfortable.
00:07:41I've got her to buy her.
00:07:42I'm so happy.
00:07:43I'm so happy.
00:07:44I'm so happy.
00:07:45You're so happy.
00:07:46It's so happy.
00:07:47I'm so happy.
00:07:48But then, I didn't expect you to do that.
00:07:49I'm so happy to be here.
00:07:50You're adding a short time.
00:07:51I'm so happy to go.
00:07:52I'll go.
00:07:53Oh, come on.
00:07:54I'll go.
00:07:55Oh, come on.
00:07:56It's ashy Aisha looking raggedy.
00:08:09Yo, y'all see that tired-ass grandma shit she wore yesterday?
00:08:14Yo, when she wore that faded t-shirt, I wanted to slap her for being so dumb.
00:08:19Yo, she annoys the heck out of me, always raising her damn hand like she's the Wikipedia
00:08:25of some shit, like shut the fuck up.
00:08:28The other day I saw her looking at Lance, and I was like, girl, back up.
00:08:34Like he's really gonna smash.
00:08:50Girl, where are you going? He almost ran over me.
00:08:53Sorry, Ms. Quanda, I'm headed to class.
00:08:57Have you been smoking weed?
00:08:58No, I never.
00:09:00Then why do I smell weed on you?
00:09:01No, miss, I would never. You know me.
00:09:04Even the good ones surprise me sometimes. Follow me to the principal's office.
00:09:08Quanda, I wasn't the one smoking.
00:09:10Then who was it? Do I look like Boo Boo the Fool?
00:09:12Come on now, miss. I'm not ratting.
00:09:14Don't play the I ain't snitching game with me.
00:09:17I don't have all day. Tell me who was smoking.
00:09:21Heard you're a finalist.
00:09:23You think they're gonna give this scholarship to someone who has a history of smoking weed in school?
00:09:27Please don't make me say it. Please.
00:09:32Give me a name or you take the fall for it. You okay with that?
00:09:36This is the moment when I was presented with a hard choice.
00:09:40I worked so hard to get a chance at this scholarship.
00:09:43I wasn't gonna let Rudy and her minions take it away from me. Hell no.
00:09:49They're in there.
00:09:52You sure?
00:09:59Is that right?
00:10:01Thanks for the info, Aisha.
00:10:13Who in there?
00:10:22It's just us.
00:10:23In one stall?
00:10:24Mm-hmm.
00:10:25Y'all was smoking weed, huh? I can smell it.
00:10:28No. It smelled like something we got in here.
00:10:31Don't lie to me.
00:10:32Well, it wasn't us. We have nothing on us.
00:10:34You flushed it, huh?
00:10:36Now, I know all the tricks and the foolery.
00:10:38I've been around a lot longer than all y'all.
00:10:40Follow me.
00:10:44Let's go.
00:10:48They were up to no good in the bathroom.
00:10:50Again.
00:10:51Wait here for the principal.
00:10:53I have other business to get to.
00:10:59Hey, Wanda.
00:11:00Hey.
00:11:06Terrell.
00:11:08Wanda needs to speak with you.
00:11:10On what?
00:11:11It's a private matter.
00:11:21You gonna open this for me?
00:11:23No.
00:11:24I can open it myself.
00:11:25No, you're not about to search my locker, dog.
00:11:27Yes, I am.
00:11:29You gonna tell me what's in there?
00:11:31No.
00:11:32It's in my locker anyway.
00:11:33Whatever's in there ain't mine.
00:11:35Okay.
00:11:36That's what they all say.
00:11:41So what's going on here?
00:11:42I don't even know, dog.
00:11:43Hmm?
00:11:47Mr. Terrell Freeman.
00:11:50We gotta get in that locker.
00:11:51And you know we'll use any means necessary, brother.
00:11:53Nah, this ain't my locker anyway.
00:11:55I ain't used it since last year.
00:11:57Yeah, right.
00:12:06Ooh.
00:12:07Ooh.
00:12:08No, no, no.
00:12:09Fuck off.
00:12:10Fuck off.
00:12:11Get him out of here.
00:12:12Because he will not be back.
00:12:14Let's go.
00:12:15What?
00:12:16You all again?
00:12:17All three of you are going to get a three-day suspension.
00:12:20And then after that, you're going to attend drug counseling.
00:12:36Mrs. Kimmel, can you please give them their suspension papers?
00:12:46Look, I wasn't going to lose my chance at the scholarship.
00:12:49And Terrell won't bother you anymore, Marcus.
00:12:51Look, hon.
00:12:52Thanks for trying to help, but Marissa's right.
00:12:53Sometimes it's easier just to zip it.
00:12:55You guys are really forcing it.
00:12:57Okay, let's just hope it's nothing.
00:12:59I read a quote the other day by Martin Luther King.
00:13:02Our lives begin to end the moment we remain silent about the things that matter.
00:13:09I know I did the right thing.
00:13:11Aisha, I get it.
00:13:12But we're in the hood, and here you gotta learn to keep your mouth shut for your own good.
00:13:18I'm sure it's not as bad as you guys think it is.
00:13:21I hope I'm wrong.
00:13:22I really hope so.
00:13:25Whatever.
00:13:26Let's just go get slushies.
00:13:27On me.
00:13:28You better, because you owe me.
00:13:30Right.
00:13:31Okay, I know.
00:13:35What's up, shorties?
00:13:36Fuck!
00:13:42My mom.
00:13:43My mom.
00:13:46Her T got caught with all our shit.
00:13:48Our money.
00:13:49Our weed.
00:13:50All of our shit.
00:13:51This just happened?
00:13:52Derek hit me up and said some girl snitched on UNT.
00:13:55So, who's the snitch?
00:13:59Aisha?
00:14:01Who's that?
00:14:02Some ashy girl.
00:14:03I'll show you where she lives.
00:14:04Shit!
00:14:05This is mine.
00:14:07This is.
00:14:09Metal!

00:14:32Is this love for free?
00:14:33Is this love for free?
00:14:35Fuck you.
00:14:36If it ain't that I ain't fucking for free,
00:14:38so don't fuck with me.
00:14:39Please.
00:14:40Don't even know how I let it get me.
00:14:43Oh, no.
00:14:44You motherfucker!
00:14:46No!
00:14:46Don't work this!
00:14:50Marissa, I can explain.
00:14:52Yeah, go on.
00:14:54She don't mean to think.
00:14:55You're the only bitch I got eyes on.
00:14:56Go on, he's just like the rest of them.
00:15:01I mean it.
00:15:02She means nothing to me.
00:15:03I'm sorry, Marissa.
00:15:04Fuck you, asshole.
00:15:12Marissa, don't worry about him, okay?
00:15:14Don't you ever think of calling me back
00:15:16or texting me again!
00:15:20He ain't worth it.
00:15:21He's a bum.
00:15:22I thought he changed.
00:15:23Sorry, boo.
00:15:24He been a hoe all his life.
00:15:25I'm just glad you see it now.
00:15:26Mm-hmm.
00:15:28That really ruined my freaking day.
00:15:30I'm gonna go, guys.
00:15:31Catch you later.
00:15:33Marissa, we...
00:15:34Oh.
00:15:35She'll be fine.
00:15:36Don't worry about her.
00:15:44That's her.
00:15:45The girl with the long hair.
00:15:48She gonna learn.
00:15:55I'm gonna give you a bag and I need it today.
00:15:56Call me a rave and I need me a chain.
00:15:57Come on up, baby.
00:15:58Give me some plays.
00:15:59Ay.
00:16:00It's good.
00:16:01What's that?
00:16:02One of our boys, T, got caught at the school.
00:16:03He's in Juby right now.
00:16:05You're gonna have to find someone at the high school, ASAP.
00:16:07For sure.
00:16:08I know a few youngins out there.
00:16:09Good.
00:16:10Get one of the youngins to push it.
00:16:12All right.
00:16:13Anyway, say it, say it.
00:16:14Let's go, baby.
00:16:15I'll-
00:16:16Alright.
00:16:37Alright.
00:16:40Hi.
00:16:45So if you get this scholarship, it'll be a full ride?
00:16:47Yep.
00:16:48That'll be so great.
00:16:50God is great.
00:16:52It's not mine yet, Ma. I gotta do well on the SATs first.
00:17:09They're calling me a rat and a snitch.
00:17:16We told you this was gonna happen.
00:17:18Next time, just shut your mouth, Aisha.
00:17:21I'm literally enemy of the state right now.
00:17:24Look, don't worry. You just have to ignore them, okay?
00:17:27God, I fucked up.
00:17:29Look, it'll pass. Just block their numbers so they don't bother you again.
00:17:34Okay.

00:20:40You know, Marissa, it's easy for you to say this
00:20:41Cause you've never been bullied
00:20:42Hey, I'm just trying to help here
00:20:45The entire school hates me
00:20:47We don't hate you, you still got us
00:20:49Look, this, it's nothing
00:20:52This note, forget about it, forget about it
00:20:54Hey?
00:21:08I'm missing homework from a few culprits
00:21:16Aisha, how come you didn't turn in your essay?
00:21:20What?
00:21:21Whoa
00:21:21Damn, Aisha
00:21:23That's a first
00:21:24Quiet, please
00:21:28Miss, I'll do your homework as soon as possible
00:21:30Okay, expect it tomorrow morning
00:21:33Jaden, how come you didn't turn in your homework?
00:21:36Had a game last night
00:21:38And guess what?
00:21:40We won
00:21:40Okay, congratulations team captain
00:21:46But homework needs to be done
00:21:48Game or not, it is imperative
00:21:51Miss, why you like using them big words?
00:21:54What the hell imperative mean?
00:21:57Does anyone want to educate this young man?
00:22:00Aisha
00:22:01It means it's of utmost importance
00:22:03Okay, okay
00:22:06Use that in my rap
00:22:08Derek, how come you didn't do your homework?
00:22:11You know what?
00:22:12The why this ain't happened
00:22:13The dog ate my homework
00:22:15Yeah, the dumb bitch ate it
00:22:18I get it
00:22:19You just don't care about school, right?
00:22:22Look, the only reason I'm here
00:22:24Is because my mom forces me to come
00:22:25Otherwise, school can kiss my black ass
00:22:29Oh, so you want to be a statistic
00:22:31Bruh, what does that even mean?
00:22:34Have you ever heard of school to prison pipeline?
00:22:39Here it comes, y'all
00:22:40The speech
00:22:41Listen, I give you guys speeches because I care
00:22:44And if I didn't, I wouldn't even bother
00:22:47Believe me, it's a lot easier not to care
00:22:50But I've seen this a thousand times
00:22:55A young black boy
00:22:56Not interested in school
00:22:58Fails
00:23:00And then drops out
00:23:01A year later, he's in jail
00:23:05And you want to become a statistic?
00:23:08Do you want to be a gangbanger
00:23:10Or an educated black man?
00:23:12Do you know what happens to gangbangers?
00:23:15They end up dead
00:23:17Or, if you're lucky
00:23:19Behind bars
00:23:20Listen
00:23:22I'm here to teach
00:23:25And do the best I can
00:23:26But if you're not willing to learn
00:23:29No one's going to help you
00:23:31But
00:23:33If you want to learn
00:23:35No one can stop you
00:23:38She want to fuck with a savage
00:23:42I broke her heart now, it's tragic
00:23:44I get the money I cash in
00:23:46You know that I live in a lavish
00:23:48She wanted my passion
00:23:50I'm breaking her off, she want action
00:23:52Felt my way up on my tactics
00:23:54Aisha
00:23:55You want to tell me what's going on?
00:23:59You never miss an assignment
00:24:01Nothing, miss
00:24:02I honestly just forgot
00:24:04All right, if you're struggling
00:24:05You know you can come to me for help after school
00:24:07Okay?
00:24:08Thank you, miss
00:24:09My mom and dad found the flyer
00:24:27And asked me if I was gay
00:24:28And?
00:24:30What happened?
00:24:31My dad didn't say much
00:24:32My mom was in denial
00:24:34Like she didn't want to hear the shit
00:24:37She says she's taking me to church this Sunday
00:24:39To fix this gay shit
00:24:41Seriously?
00:24:42Are you going to go?
00:24:43Look, I don't even give a damn at this point
00:24:45Whatever she wants to do, she'll do
00:24:46You know how my mom is
00:24:48Look
00:24:48You are who you are
00:24:49Your mom and dad aren't going to change that
00:24:51I wouldn't go if I were you
00:24:53I'm just so sick of this shit
00:24:55I can't wait to leave this town

00:29:43My heart longs for you.
00:29:46You're my Bentley in a room full of Corollas.
00:29:49You are inviting like an island.
00:29:52Mysterious, exotic, cool, and warm.
00:29:57You're like a water lily.
00:29:58Growing and thriving in polluted water.
00:30:01Like a rose.
00:30:03Cracking the concrete ground.
00:30:04I guess what I'm trying to say is
00:30:08I love you, Marissa.
00:30:12Baby, you wrote that for me.

00:30:45He ain't going to change.
00:30:47A hoe is a hoe.
00:30:48And I bet you that's a fake-ass tattoo.
00:30:50You're going to break her heart for the million times.
00:30:52Oh, my.
00:30:53I gotta go meet Mr. Pickens for my math SATs.
00:30:56You know I can help you with that.
00:30:57Nah, don't worry about it.
00:30:59You got a lot on your plate.
00:31:00I don't need you worrying about me.
00:31:02All right?

00:32:14Bye.
00:32:16Bye.
00:34:58Do yourself a favor and kill yourself.
00:35:01And nobody wants to hear anywhere.
00:35:04Time's up.
00:35:09Come collect your notebooks and you can get your cell phones.
00:35:34The number has been disconnected.
00:35:48You'll get another chance at the SAT, bro. Don't trip.
00:35:51Ain't no second chances for girls in the hood. Period.
00:35:55Aisha, it's just the SAT. They're not a measure of your intelligence.
00:35:59I guess you're right.
00:36:02Where the hell is Marissa?
00:36:04I tried calling her the other day and it said phone disconnected.
00:36:07I'm kind of worried about her.
00:36:09Let me see.
00:36:11What?
00:36:14Ooh, you got you a secret admirer.
00:36:17Who put this here?
00:36:22Lance?
00:36:24Okay.
00:36:25Okay.
00:36:26Yes.
00:36:27Wow.
00:36:30Good?
00:36:35Mission accomplished.
00:36:37Yo, get your camera out.
00:36:39It's about to be world star.
00:36:42She's about to get faded.
00:36:44You should.
00:36:51My head feels light.
00:36:53It's like I'm walking on air.
00:36:55Yo, that shit happens to me whenever I don't sleep.
00:37:04Oh, my God. Did you see that?
00:37:06I think he just moved his lips.
00:37:08Yo, you're acting real weird.
00:37:10If I didn't know you, I'd say you smell crack.
00:37:15Hi, Aisha.
00:37:16What's up?
00:37:17Don't worry.
00:37:18We don't bite.
00:37:19We ain't gonna hurt you.
00:37:20So, how you feeling?
00:37:23Okay.
00:37:25You good?
00:37:26Like, Irie?
00:37:27Irie, like, every little thing is gonna be all right.
00:37:34Yeah, I guess.
00:37:36Well, see you in class.
00:37:37Yeah.
00:37:38Enjoy your day.
00:37:44That was weird.
00:37:45Mm-hmm.
00:37:46I know they're up to something.
00:37:47I don't trust him.
00:37:49Come on.
00:37:52What compelled Samson?
00:37:54To address the crime.
00:37:56And you know what?
00:37:58Marcus.
00:38:00Because he felt that if he didn't, he may face prosecution.
00:38:04That's correct.
00:38:05What would have happened had he not addressed the crime?
00:38:09Aisha, what do you think?
00:38:10Huh?
00:38:12About what?
00:38:13Samson.
00:38:14What would have happened had he not addressed the crime?
00:38:18Why are you talking so slow, miss?
00:38:20I'm not talking slow.
00:38:21Are you paying attention?
00:38:22Yeah, I am.
00:38:23What did you say?
00:38:25Samson, what would have happened had he not addressed the crowd?
00:38:30I don't know, miss.
00:38:31Did you read chapter three for homework?
00:38:34You know what's funny?
00:38:35I did read, but right now I can't remember anything I read.
00:38:40I mean, nada.
00:38:42Aisha, what's so funny?
00:38:44Nothing.
00:38:45I just can't believe I forgot everything I read.
00:38:48Are you okay?
00:38:49Are you okay?
00:38:51I'm okay.
00:38:59Are you okay?
00:39:01I'm fine, miss.
00:39:02Your eyes are red.
00:39:04And your eyes.
00:39:06Your pupils are so brown, like fall leaves.
00:39:09Like...
00:39:10Like poop.
00:39:12Like a beautiful poop.
00:39:14I know it sounds gross.
00:39:16But sometimes I stare at my poop to see its shape.
00:39:20Did you know you can find out how healthy you are by the shape of your poop?
00:39:24It's amazing.
00:39:25I've been ordered to go see the nurse.
00:39:33You want to tell me what's going on with you?
00:39:36You've been acting all strange all morning.
00:39:41Lovely Pooh Bear, you.
00:39:44You are so adorable.
00:39:46Look at those cinnamon cheeks.
00:39:49I swear, if you weren't gay, I would totally do you.
00:39:53Like, ew.
00:39:55What is...
00:39:58Oh, my God.
00:40:00You're high.
00:40:01Me?
00:40:03You feel lightheaded, right?
00:40:05And what did you have to eat this morning?
00:40:08Nothing, just that brownie.
00:40:10That brownie had something.
00:40:13You think Lance drugged me?
00:40:15No, it wasn't Lance.
00:40:16A secret admirer wouldn't do that.
00:40:18See, I'm pretty sure it was Rudy.
00:40:20I'm so dumb.
00:40:22Is that why they were asking me how I felt?
00:40:25Is that why they were filming me and asking if I felt iry?
00:40:29Oh, my God.
00:40:30Yeah, you're not going to the nurse.
00:40:32You'll get in trouble if they find out you're high.
00:40:34They won't believe you had some random brownie from an anonymous person.
00:40:39We're leaving school until you sober up.
00:40:41Come on.
00:40:43Come on.
00:40:45Drink this.
00:40:46All of it.
00:40:48Okay, it says here that a cold shower helps.
00:40:53I'm not taking a shower in your house.
00:40:55Do you want to sober up or not?
00:40:57Great.
00:40:59Great.
00:41:01Is this sparkling water?
00:41:02Yes.

01:00:21Is he dead?
01:00:22Nah, he's just unconscious.
01:00:24You girls better go before the others get here.
01:00:26I have to get to my interview.
01:00:28What time is it?
01:00:289.55, where's your interview at?
01:00:32Downtown Boston.
01:00:33God damn.

01:00:34Are you okay?
01:00:35You're hurt.

01:00:36Come on.
01:00:37Come on.
01:00:37All right, come on.
01:00:37Come on.
01:00:39Hi, I'm Aisha Johnson.
01:01:09I'm here for an interview.
01:01:12What the hell happened to your face?
01:01:14It's a long story.
01:01:15Can I still interview?
01:01:18You're too late.
01:01:20They waited for you.
01:01:22Please, this is my last chance, okay?
01:01:24Please.
01:01:25I'm sorry.
01:01:26But there are others.
01:01:33Ashley, can you please call Miss Tiffany Johnson, please?
01:01:37Yes, Mr. Adams.
01:01:39Mr. Adams, I'm Aisha Johnson.
01:01:41I'm terribly sorry I'm late.
01:01:42Miss Johnson?
01:01:43You're more than just late.
01:01:45Basically, you're a no-show.
01:01:47And I'm really sorry about that, but can I please still interview?
01:01:50No.
01:01:51I'm really sorry.
01:01:52But you missed your chance.
01:01:54Yeah.
01:01:55I'm really sorry.
01:01:56Bye.
01:01:56Bye.
01:01:57Bye.
01:01:58Bye.
01:02:00Bye.
01:02:08Bye.
01:02:16Bye.
01:02:17Bye.
01:02:18Bye.
01:02:49Hold on. I'm going to have to give you a call back. They're interviewing the last candidate. You're wasting your time.
01:03:02I know I came in late, sir, but I was caught up in some bad stuff beyond my control, and I made it here despite the challenges.
01:03:18Please, sir, I just need two minutes of your time. That's it. Just two minutes.
01:03:21All right. Two minutes. Only two minutes. Let's go.
01:03:31Thank you, sir.
01:03:31Ladies, this is Aisha Johnson, our 10 o'clock. Well, was our 10 o'clock candidate? I've decided to give her two minutes.
01:03:47So we better get to it. Why do you think you're the most qualified candidate for the scholarship?
01:03:55Even though I'm from an underperforming school where the expectations for students are low, I never let that stop me.
01:04:04In fact, it's pushed me to be my very best.
01:04:07Every year I've been the top student, and it's my dream to one day go to college.
01:04:11A large percent of students never make it to college from inner-city schools.
01:04:18The price and student debt has made it a burden to families.
01:04:24The cost of a year of college is more than what my mom makes.
01:04:29The only way I see it possible for me to go to college is through financial aid and scholarships, which is why I'm applying for this scholarship.
01:04:37I do hope that you'll consider me for this.
01:04:39Final question, then.
01:04:43What is the most challenging situation you've ever been faced with, and how did you overcome it?
01:04:57This past month, I have faced tremendous challenges.
01:05:04I was bullied by a group of girls for reporting them for using drugs in school.
01:05:13The bullies jumped me.
01:05:16They cyber-bullied me.
01:05:19And I tried to ignore it even though I was hurting.
01:05:22They even drugged me without my consent.
01:05:24And as I was on my way to this interview, they kidnapped me.
01:05:32Fortunately, I was rescued, and I showed up here.
01:05:36I showed up because I know the scholarship could change my life.
01:05:39Life is full of challenges and obstacles, and it's how you choose to overcome them that define one's character.
01:05:49I could have gone home to lick my wounds.
01:05:53I knew I was late, but I showed up here to earn a seat at the table.
01:06:05That's all the time we have, though.
01:06:06You'll be hearing from us in a couple weeks.
01:06:10I do wish you well.
01:06:19Take care of yourself.
01:06:20Aisha, I can't believe you kept stuff like this from me.
01:06:42Look how dangerous this turned out to be.
01:06:45I just didn't want to snitch again.
01:06:47And I thought if I told, it would be, like, double snitching.
01:06:52Nonsense.
01:06:54Double snitching.
01:06:55There are kids out there killing themselves because of bullying like this.
01:07:00You do not have to suffer in silence.
01:07:05Promise me.
01:07:07You will tell me everything next time.
01:07:12They ruined everything for me.
01:07:15They ruined my life, my chance at the scholarship.
01:07:19I should have never even applied for that scholarship.
01:07:22They're not going to consider me.
01:07:23Why wouldn't they consider you?
01:07:25I went in there looking like a complete hood rat.
01:07:28This aim for the stars stuff is just for rich white girls, not girls like me.
01:07:32I saw how the students looked applying for the scholarship with their perfect dresses and shoes and blazers.
01:07:41They probably have perfect SAT scores and perfect lives.
01:07:45Their parents are probably perfect.
01:07:46Their brothers are perfect.
01:07:48And who am I to compete with that?
01:07:49I know I'm smart, but it doesn't mean a thing.
01:07:56Not in the hood.
01:07:59Honey, it wasn't your fault you were late.
01:08:03You went through a traumatic experience, and you still showed up.
01:08:09I embarrassed myself.
01:08:12Aisha, you got to believe.
01:08:14Things may not have turned out the way you planned, but trust God.
01:08:18He has the master plan.
01:08:21You still have a great future no matter what.
01:08:24And keep on.
01:08:30You need to stop hanging out with those dangerous thugs.
01:08:35I'm done with gangs, ma.
01:08:37I tried.
01:08:38Lord knows I tried.
01:08:41My best raising you.
01:08:43If your dad were here, he would know exactly what to say.
01:08:48But the Lord decided otherwise, and he took me forever.
01:08:51I tried my best to guide you.
01:08:58But what you really needed was a father figure.
01:09:03You need to get away from these gangs and make something of yourself.
01:09:10I'll turn myself into the police station.
01:09:16I'm sorry.
01:09:18Kidnapping charges are serious.
01:09:20On top of kidnapping, you bullied and drugged this poor girl.
01:09:24This expulsion cannot be reversed.
01:09:27Your parents, they've already been contacted.
01:09:30Tonya, you're suspended for one week.
01:09:35And we commend you for coming to your senses and saving Aisha.
01:09:41Trip and his gang members were rounded up for multiple offenses.
01:09:47I heard that Rudy and Shakia snitched on them to save themselves from going to Juvie.
01:09:53Now I know I ain't the only snitch in town.
01:09:56Mom finally got Keevon to turn himself in.
01:09:59She bailed him out, and we're still waiting his trial.
01:10:02In the meantime, he's taking online courses to get his GED.
01:10:05Marissa made it back to school after her family decided to sell their house to a developer.
01:10:12Michonne's offered to tutor her after school to help her catch up.
01:10:15We're partying.
01:10:17Good job getting rid of Rudy.
01:10:19Yeah, she used to bully me in middle school and take my lunch money.
01:10:23Oof, not good luck.
01:10:27What you doing?
01:10:27Yeah, they're good.
01:10:29We love you, man.
01:10:31I'm glad the worst of it's over.
01:10:33Yeah, that was really scary.
01:10:34Well, look, we're survivors, and we'll survive no matter what.
01:10:37Mm-hmm.
01:10:38Right?
01:10:38Yeah.
01:10:39Okay, let's go.
01:10:45After going into Marcus' room to collect his laundry, his mom found his diary, and she decided to pry.
01:10:52Becoming Marcus, five years old,
01:11:19the moment you realized that you did not belong.
01:11:25Belong in that box, I mean.
01:11:28The exterior,
01:11:30adorned with
01:11:31stickers that say,
01:11:34boys are rough and tough.
01:11:37Boys,
01:11:38don't cry.
01:11:39A boy who likes other boys.
01:11:58But the box is closed shut.
01:12:09And you are trapped.
01:12:13Wishing you could come out.
01:12:20I love you, son.
01:12:25I love you, mom.
01:12:25All of them really want big, big stuff.
01:12:32Them want big, big stuff.
01:12:33But what them want, them can't touch.

01:12:44But what them want, them can't touch.
