:04:01
Hey, Mr. McAllister.
:04:02
Not wasting any time,
are you, Tracy?
:04:05
You know what they say
about the early bird.
:04:09
Yeah, I do.
:04:12
Good luck there, Tracy.
:04:14
Thanks, Mr. M.
I'll see you in class.
:04:16
Yup, mm-hmm.
:04:19
Tracy: None of this
would've happened
:04:21
if Mr. McAllister hadn't
meddled the way he did.
:04:24
He should've just accepted
things as they are,
:04:26
instead of trying
to interfere with destiny.
:04:29
You see, you can't
interfere with destiny.
:04:32
That's why it's destiny.
:04:33
And if you try to interfere,
:04:35
the same thing's
just gonna happen anyway,
:04:38
and you'll just suffer.
:04:42
Jim: It's hard to remember
how the whole thing started,
:04:44
the whole election mess.
:04:46
What I do remember
is that I loved my job.
:04:49
I was a teacher,
:04:51
an educator,
:04:52
and I couldn't imagine
doing anything else.
:04:55
Boy: Mr. McAllister.
:04:56
Mr. M!
:04:58
Quit day dreaming.
Get back to work.
:05:01
Jim: The students knew
it wasn't just a job for me.
:05:04
I got involved.
:05:06
Put down the cards, boys!
:05:08
This game is over!
:05:09
Jim: And I cared.
:05:11
Come on, Wolverines!
:05:13
Defense! Let's go!
:05:14
Jim: And I think
I made a difference.
:05:16
I knew I touched
the students' lives
:05:18
during their difficult
young adult years.
:05:20
And I took that
responsibility seriously.
:05:24
In the 1 2 years
I taught U.S. history,
:05:28
civics, and current events
at Carver,
:05:30
I was voted
Teacher of the Year 3 times.
:05:33
A school record.
:05:35
Teaching was all
I'd ever wanted to do.
:05:40
Standing in front of
a roomful of young people,
:05:44
trying to get them excited
about the world,
:05:46
trying to make them think,
:05:48
preparing them for the tough
moral and ethical decisions
:05:52
that they'd face as adults,
:05:54
that's how I wanted
to spend my life.
:05:57
So is this
a moral situation
:05:59
or an ethical situation?
