The title of my essay is...
1:47:04
... "Mi Salida"...
1:47:06
... "My Way Out".
1:47:09
There' s been a lot of tal k
the last cou ple of weeks...
1:47:13
...about whether Mr. Garfield done
what they wrote about in the newspapers.
1:47:20
He once told me that you can't blame
everything on your environment.
1:47:24
But I think you can push
a good teacher too far.
1:47:28
And he'll go bad like anybody else.
1:47:31
I don't know if Mr. G.
done all those bad things.
1:47:35
But what I do know is that
teachers don't get no respect.
1:47:39
I' m up here today
because of him.
1:47:43
He was there for me
when nobody else was.
1:47:48
The thing is,
I should've been there for him too.
1:47:55
I didn't wanna stand up here today.
1:47:59
But Mr. G. asked me...
1:48:03
...if I was afraid it
would be a Pyrrhic victory.
1:48:07
And I asked him,
"What' s up with that?"
1:48:11
He said to go look it up, so I did.
1:48:20
This is called a city.
1:48:21
Human beings used to live here.
1:48:24
It refers to this guy named Pyrrhus.
1:48:26
He was a king around 300 B. C.
1:48:30
Pyrrhus defeated the Romans...
1:48:33
... on two separate occasions.
1:48:35
But those victories cost him
a large part of his army.
1:48:49
So now...
1:48:58
...whenever somebody says...
