00:08I don't know what college I want to go to, but I know I want to be a teacher.
00:13I want to be a nurse. I want to be a doctor.
00:16How come?
00:17Because I would like to help somebody in need.
00:22You wake up every morning and you know that kids are getting a really crappy education right now.
00:28So you think that most of the kids here are getting a crappy education right now?
00:31Oh, I don't think they are. I know they are.
00:34Either the kids are getting stupider every year, or something is wrong in the education system.
00:40I just try to do my best in school and make my grandma that proud.
00:45Among 30 developed countries, we rank 25th in math and 21st in science.
00:50In almost every category we've fallen behind, except one.
00:54Kids from the USA rank number one in confidence.
00:58I don't want to be an American idiot.
01:04I think about 60,000 people have gone to this school in 40 years.
01:0840,000 didn't graduate.
01:10This is the damage that this school has done in this neighborhood.
01:15A child that doesn't finish high school will earn less and be eight times more likely to go to prison.
01:20I want to go to school.
01:22For these kids, their only chance at getting into a great school depends on whether their number is picked in
01:28a lottery.
01:29So if Francisco doesn't get in, is there another chance?
01:33No.
01:35Your children and future generations are on the bridge of the Titanic and everybody's going to drown.
01:42Someone is taking an interest in you, someone loves you, and they recognize the importance of education.
01:48And the first student selected?
01:50Twenty.
01:51Oh my God!
01:53Nine.
01:54It takes a lot of outrage and a lot of good examples to say, yes, we can do this.
01:59When you see a great teacher, you are seeing a work of art.
02:02I want my kids to have better than what I had.
02:05Eighteen.
02:07Ten.
02:10Twelve.
02:13Two.
02:16And the last number?
