00:04 It is fearlessness that enables us to put ideas into practice.
00:12 One must be willing to go against the majority
00:16 and be content to stand alone.
00:20 It's a fearlessness for something bigger than you.
00:26 [CHOIR SINGING]
00:30 I always thought about the good things in life.
00:34 And I wish I can go back to that point
00:35 where it was only good and never reality happening.
00:40 When Dr. Jones created this, the students
00:43 were building literally each building by hand.
00:47 And all of that was around self-sustainability.
00:49 The farm was what was sustaining them.
00:54 Y'all remember like a year back, I was like,
00:56 I want to go to Piney Woods.
00:57 And then y'all was like, you better be ready.
01:00 Hey, y'all, we in school.
01:01 I feel like it's going to be a good day for real.
01:03 I got braids.
01:04 She got braids.
01:05 Every day I go through this thing, I'm asking myself,
01:07 you know, what am I really doing?
01:09 And sometimes I just get lost in like what's happening.
01:14 You make one mistake, now you're that mistake
01:16 for the rest of your life.
01:18 Let me be the mistake in peace.

01:23 Many of our young people, they're
01:25 searching for their place in the world.
01:27 They want to be seen.
01:30 I still prioritize education.
01:33 It's a way of proving people wrong.
01:34 It's a way of showing myself that I
01:36 can do better than what I was told that I could do.
01:40 Like long suffer.
01:43 Tell me what it means.
01:44 It means to like stick it out, stick it through.
01:46 Like so long suffering is to like stick with a thing.
01:53 What would be the legacy of the school
01:55 if unfortunately we had to close?
01:57 That's just not an option.
02:00 We're at the epitome of resilience and hope
02:02 and all that good stuff.
02:03 And you can't take that away.
