138. 5:16>> I was you. I get it. Like you are here
139. 5:19coming into the school and a lot of you
140. 5:20probably have to walk to school versus
141. 5:22somebody that's in another school
142. 5:24district get dropped out by the parents
143. 5:25every day. Like I lived in Fish Street,
144. 5:27baby girl. I was walking every day from
145. 5:28Fish Street. I mean, my parents used to
146. 5:29give me my bus money, but it's like I
147. 5:31used to save it because I used to buy
148. 5:33other stuff. But it's even then like
149. 5:34public bus like I would have to like to
150. 5:36me that
151. 5:37>> know the schedule and who still blows my
152. 5:39mind. Like I remember going when I went

157. 5:49kids? Who knows?
158. 5:51>> Yeah.
159. 5:51>> Like and it's just like it always shown
160. 5:53like growing up like you clearly were
161. 5:55different. Like there was always like
162. 5:56what was said about you.
163. 5:57>> Everybody's gonna have different roles,
164. 5:59but everybody's gonna deal with money.
165. 6:01So if you understand money now, you're
166. 6:03going to be way better off in life.
167. 6:05>> Is there anything you wish you'd learned
168. 6:07about money when you were growing up?
169. 6:08>> Oh yeah. How to save it, not touch it.
170. 6:13Uh put it into account, I guess. So
171. 6:17u you know that can make money.
172. 6:19>> I love money. I love money. And
173. 6:23everybody in Allentown loves money as
174. 6:25well.
175. 6:28>> Save more, spend less, and understand
176. 6:30taxes. I wish I was taught more about
177. 6:33that.
178. 6:34>> Money can pay bills.
179. 6:37Money can pay anything, but money cannot
180. 6:39buy happiness.
181. 6:41You can buy whatever you want. You can
182. 6:43buy the judge if you want. You can buy
183. 6:45the law. You can buy the police if you
184. 6:47want. But bunny don't buy happiness.

242. 8:40>> China, are you coming?
243. 8:44[laughter] She's running.
244. 8:47Oh, I love it.
245. 8:50>> Yo,
246. 8:52[laughter]
247. 8:53that's it. You ran all that way to to
248. 8:55say that.
249. 8:56>> Oh, man. You should have said something
250. 8:58about Rob then.
251. 9:00>> Yeah, probably.
252. 9:04All right. Good afternoon or good
253. 9:05evening everyone. Thank you for being
254. 9:07here. Um and we got to get fired up,
255. 9:10right? Cuz every single time we meet,
256. 9:12it's later during the day and uh we've
257. 9:16been working all day. So, we're a little
258. 9:17tired, right? Does everybody know and
259. 9:20understand what they say after fired up?
260. 9:23>> Ready to go.
261. 9:24>> Ready to go. All right. So, fired up.
262. 9:27>> Ready to go.
263. 9:28>> Fired up.
264. 9:29>> Ready to go.
265. 9:30>> All right. Here we go. So when you're
266. 9:32thinking of this school governance
267. 9:33council and you're thinking of Rob
268. 9:35Middle School specifically, what is
269. 9:37something that the kids need? What is
270. 9:39something that the parents need? And
271. 9:40what is something that the teachers
272. 9:41need? Does not have to be all the same
273. 9:43answers.
274. 9:44>> It can be whatever comes to your mind.
275. 9:57>> Each one of you plays a role at Rob in
276. 9:59one way or another. So, it's nice to see
277. 10:02if there's some consistent themes. So,
278. 10:04when we're looking at what the staff
279. 10:05needs, I see support, support,
280. 10:09resources, self-care, peer support, uh
281. 10:12their needs met, support, support,
282. 10:15better pay, uh district support, funds.
283. 10:18So, we're looking at what the parent
284. 10:20needs are. accountability, training on
285. 10:22how to help and support their children,
286. 10:25uh open and timely communication,
287. 10:27support, flexibility to meet, uh more
288. 10:30resources,
289. 10:32challen uh to navigate challenging
290. 10:34situations with students, resources.
291. 10:37Again, that's what we need to figure out
292. 10:40is how best to implement all of this as
293. 10:43community, as staff, as parents,
294. 10:45teachers, whatever it may be. You can
295. 10:48get stuck in thinking that outcomes is
296. 10:53the only thing that's important.
297. 10:56I want to say how proud I am of my
298. 10:58teachers, my staff, my leadership team
299. 11:01and sticking to processes, procedures,
300. 11:05structures um to create conditions where
301. 11:09students can learn and thrive. That is
302. 11:11resiliency, right? And when we talk
303. 11:13about resiliency, that doesn't always
304. 11:15match up with with outcomes.
305. 11:18>> I was tempted
306. 11:23[music] tempted by [singing] your smile.
307. 11:27I was tempted.
308. 11:31>> [music]
309. 11:31>> And for a little [singing] while I was
310. 11:36certain
311. 11:39>> that I will be the one to change you and
312. 11:42[singing] you will be mine.
313. 11:50>> I feel like they don't have much
314. 11:51business classes and stuff like that.
315. 11:54Stuff about money, you know, how the
316. 11:56world works. Teach us about paying
317. 11:58bills, stuff like that. You know, I feel
318. 12:00like he don't teach us that in school.
319. 12:01>> It's just more like motivation on doing
320. 12:03bad things cuz that's what a lot of
321. 12:04grown grown folks do out here. Not not
322. 12:06saying everybody, it's good and bad.
323. 12:07It's ying and yang everywhere, you know,
324. 12:09>> but mostly that's what it is.
325. 12:12>> So, I feel like if you get more
326. 12:13guidance, more of a leadway to be good,
327. 12:15more like it take a village to raise a
328. 12:17kid. We all know this. So, if there's a
329. 12:19lot of good people around a good kid, I
330. 12:21feel like they could be whatever they
331. 12:22want to be. When you're an adult, it it
332. 12:25makes me so angry because you don't get
333. 12:27the weight of the real life.
334. 12:30Sometime in your life,
335. 12:32>> you're going to have to buy your own
336. 12:34house. And if you're going to get
337. 12:36married, spend like $10,000 on that. And
338. 12:40not to mention your taxes, bills, rent.
339. 12:42Buying a house right now is really bad
340. 12:45as it is.
341. 12:46>> Since since 2008, it's been bad. And not
342. 12:49to mention cars and paying off your car
343. 12:52and repairing it. You don't get the
344. 12:54weight of reality.
345. 12:55>> When I'm in my 40s and my parents are
346. 12:59are gone,
347. 13:01>> what am I going to do?
348. 13:02>> Yeah.
349. 13:03>> I'm going to be alone. I'm going to I'm
350. 13:06going to have a life of my own and I
351. 13:10have to be able to manage my own life.
352. 13:12>> Yes. I remember vividly being in raw
353. 13:15middle school and I just was like wow
354. 13:18when I grow up I want to do something
355. 13:19like I it sounds corny but literally I
356. 13:21was like when I grow because I'm very
357. 13:23passionate about like helping people and
358. 13:25stuff like that. So I was like I know I
359. 13:26want to do something that makes a
360. 13:27difference. Obviously, I want to help
361. 13:29everybody financially, but I'm Hispanic,
362. 13:31you know, like I'm Dominican. Like my
363. 13:33background, I know that a lot of times,
364. 13:34you know,
365. 13:35>> you have hardworking families. They tell
366. 13:37you work, work, work, but they don't
367. 13:38teach you about money. Like they don't
368. 13:39teach you like they could they still
369. 13:41teach you save, but that's much it. Like
370. 13:43that's the save and that's it. Okay,
371. 13:44what else? Like what else do I do with
372. 13:46that? So, it was for me, I was like, I
373. 13:48really want to reach that community and
374. 13:50help. And like in Allentown, I've
375. 13:52definitely been able to do it with my
376. 13:53members. Like, I help them so much.
377. 13:58starting with them. It's just like
378. 14:02the time you're making a world of
379. 14:04difference for them.
380. 14:09>> So that doesn't change the value of the
381. 14:12car. What it changes is your interest
382. 14:14rate. So having a low
383. 14:17cheaper for the car,
384. 14:21>> the yellow, the green, and the blue. It
385. 14:23is not multiple choice. You're not just
386. 14:25circling one and moving on. You got to
387. 14:28actually tell me what goes in those
388. 14:30blocks. Are you making beats for
389. 14:33somebody else? And Oh, okay.
390. 14:35>> Right. But the thing is that the most I
391. 14:37was ever paid was probably like 400.
392. 14:39>> Yeah.
393. 14:40>> Right.
394. 14:40>> 400 is good. But it wasn't like
395. 14:43>> it was like cash.
396. 14:44>> All right. That's how you start.
397. 14:46>> It wasn't like
398. 14:48>> think so like would that be like I would
399. 14:49have to put that on taxes.
400. 14:51>> No, baby. Not at your age. But well
401. 14:53eventually if you would this is the
402. 14:54career path that you're going to go on.
403. 14:56You know you'll be like self-employed
404. 14:58and then you'll you know
405. 15:00>> I'm not going to lie. This right?

536. 19:15you can barely see it, but there's
537. 19:17children inside partially um injured in
538. 19:21there.
539. 19:29>> [music]
540. 19:31>> I I didn't have nowhere to go. Nowhere
541. 19:34to go cuz my check would be wasn't
542. 19:37sufficient, you know. And in the rooms,
543. 19:41they were third floor. I couldn't do
544. 19:43anything, you know. So, I had to stay in
545. 19:45people's sofa, you know, here, there,
546. 19:48there, and there until I got my leg.
547. 19:51Once I got my leg, I started moving
548. 19:54around. Now I'm staying with a friend of
549. 19:55mine. And you know, he's helping me out.
550. 19:59I get housing, but housing,
551. 20:02I don't know where where is that. They
552. 20:04say housing, but I don't know where it's
553. 20:05at. We come from a world where it's
554. 20:07really it's really f for yourself. As
555. 20:10much as it it should be united, it's
556. 20:12really a f for yourself world. So, I
557. 20:14don't think economics I feel like
558. 20:15economics and money is the root of all
559. 20:17evil. And I take that seriously,
560. 20:20>> bro. being rich. I want to be rich. Not
561. 20:23going to lie. I want to be rich. I want
562. 20:24to be a person in this world. I want to
563. 20:28be
564. 20:30like, it's hard to be a person, but you
565. 20:32can do it.

567. 20:34>> Did you ever own a house?
568. 20:36>> No.
569. 20:38>> You think your son will?
570. 20:40>> He He will.
571. 20:41>> Yeah, he will.
572. 20:42>> Yeah.
573. 20:43>> He can get a house, buy a house, and he
574. 20:45pull himself together. I'm not saying
575. 20:47that he doing bad stuff. I'm not saying
576. 20:49[music] that.
577. 20:50But if he he if he want to, he's a junk
578. 20:53kid. If he can get a house, put himself
579. 20:55together, don't end up like me. Now, I
580. 20:57always tell him that you can do whatever
581. 20:59you want to do in life, but don't end up
582. 21:01like me.
