00:00No formal teaching experience.
00:10Uh, no.
00:11You've had eight jobs in the last year.
00:13You'd probably guess what my follow-up question is going to be.
00:16Where do I get my stamina?
00:19Four months.
00:21If you last that long, it'll be longer than most of my permanent hires.
00:25Really, nobody's going to crack open a book?
00:27They're in there.
00:28Why do they lock this?
00:30So we don't steal them.
00:31Are you for the engineering club?
00:32I'd like to enter this.
00:34The fifth annual underwater robotics competition.
00:37So you want to go up against the best tech schools in the country?
00:40It says they scout for internships and jobs.
00:45You guys got some ground to make up.
00:47The other teams will have more money than you.
00:49So you're still short $432.54.
00:52And my man ate a couple ice creams on the way in.
00:55Did I have an ice cream?
00:56Too late.
00:57I already wrote the check.
00:58Okay.
00:59We've got to find cheap, creative ways to build this thing.
01:02How do we fix it?
01:03We've got to stop this leak.
01:04It's small and really absorbent.
01:06Every day in a hundred ways they are told that they are worthless.
01:17That they are beyond hope.
01:19The more they need me, the more I start to wonder, am I going to let them down?
01:25You remember everything you said about not giving up?
01:28Well, we're not giving up.
01:30He's full of surprises.
01:34I saw something like this in a horror movie once.
01:36And then in a while.
01:37Let's go Cora's Mission.
01:38I them up.
01:39I'm out.
01:40Jung.
01:41Duke University.
01:42Virginia Tech.
01:43MIT.
01:44And Carl Hayden Community High School.
01:45This is it?
01:46We couldn't do this without you, sir.
01:54Those are my boys!
01:56The finish line always appears.
01:59Think about how far we've come.
02:02And everything that we've gained that no one can take away what we started together.
02:10There she is. Go talk to her.
02:12Are we looking at a teachable moment?
02:13Sure.
02:14Hey, I'm trying to show them a lesson about rejection.
02:16I need you to slap me. Hard.
02:18I can't just slap you out of nowhere.
02:20I think women are all horrible teachers.
02:22Mm-hmm.
02:24Oh!
02:25Did you like that one?
02:26Yes, I like it. Thank you.
