As the year went on...
:29:03
and I was making
an "A'"and "B'"honor roll...

:29:06
I just felt like,
"hey, I'm just as good as them. '"

:29:12
Now what you have to identify-
:29:15
Both William and Arthur
have partial scholarships from St. Joe's.

:29:19
The rest of William's tuition
is paid for by Cycle...

:29:22
a Cabrini Green organization.
:29:25
But Cycle can't cover
this year's tuition increase.

:29:28
I was called on
by Brother Edwin Duprais.

:29:33
he was trying to raise money
to help kids...

:29:35
that couldn't otherwise go
to those kind of schools.

:29:39
It really touched a soft spot in my heart...
:29:42
and so I decided that my husband and I
would participate on a personal basis.

:29:46
William was selected as the kid...
:29:50
that was able to go to school,
based on our contribution.

:29:54
- Nice to see you.
- Nice to see you.

:29:57
You played a great game. I want you to
meet our friends Liz Duncan, Tom Paris.

:30:02
- Nice game.
- William Gates.

:30:04
With continuing support
from Patricia Wier...

:30:07
William is assured
that his entire education at St. Joe's...

:30:11
will be free.
:30:19
Arthur's family is paying
for half ofhis tuition...

:30:23
and the increase comes
at an especially bad time.

:30:27
Worked for Sara Lee, got laid off.
:30:31
Uh, worked for Scala's Meat Packing.
Got laid off there. You know.

:30:36
You look around your house,
you see your food getting low. Okay?

:30:40
And you got your bills due here,
your bills due there.

:30:51
I got called down to the office.
:30:54
Brother Leo wanted to talk to me.
:30:57
he was telling me about how much,
certain money my mama had to pay...
