00:00:00:00	00:00:04:18	A presentation of AIT.
00:00:06:19	00:00:07:25	>> It's messy.
00:00:07:25	00:00:09:24	It is freedom and it's rules.
00:00:09:24	00:00:10:24	It's rights
00:00:10:24	00:00:11:27	and responsibilities.
00:00:11:27	00:00:13:09	It's conflict and resolution.
00:00:13:09	00:00:14:12	>> Both empowerment
00:00:14:12	00:00:15:11	and compromise.
00:00:15:11	00:00:16:21	>> It is justice.
00:00:16:21	00:00:17:24	It is individual
00:00:17:24	00:00:19:01	and it's collective.
00:00:19:01	00:00:20:02	>> It's fairness,
00:00:20:02	00:00:21:29	respect and values.
00:00:21:29	00:00:23:15	>> It is equality.
00:00:23:15	00:00:24:22	It is truth.
00:00:24:22	00:00:25:23	It is government
00:00:25:23	00:00:26:23	and it's choices.
00:00:26:23	00:00:28:03	It's passionate.
00:00:28:03	00:00:29:13	It's problem solving.
00:00:29:13	00:00:31:12	It's action and it's possible.
00:00:31:12	00:00:32:19	It's me, my family
00:00:32:19	00:00:33:23	and my community.
00:00:33:23	00:00:35:07	"Democracy it is."
00:00:35:07	00:00:37:04	>> All: Democracy it is!
00:00:51:29	00:00:54:13	>> I don't believe it.
00:00:54:13	00:00:55:21	>> It looks like somebody
00:00:55:21	00:00:57:22	found our hiding spot again.
00:00:57:22	00:01:00:10	>> This is disgusting!
00:01:00:10	00:01:02:07	How could people do this?
00:01:02:07	00:01:03:16	>> We had to clean this up
00:01:03:16	00:01:05:23	before and now it's even worse.
00:01:05:23	00:01:07:04	Let's just go.
00:01:07:04	00:01:08:17	>> We can't just leave this spot
00:01:08:17	00:01:10:03	looking like this.
00:01:10:03	00:01:11:07	>> Why not?
00:01:11:07	00:01:12:15	This isn't our mess.
00:01:12:15	00:01:15:09	It's not like we threw it here.
00:01:15:09	00:01:16:25	>> Well, we have a choice.
00:01:16:25	00:01:17:29	We can either let this
00:01:17:29	00:01:19:03	keep happening
00:01:19:03	00:01:20:00	or we can try to change it.
00:01:20:00	00:01:21:06	>> Like how?
00:01:21:06	00:01:22:18	>> Go talk to someone.
00:01:22:18	00:01:24:05	Get other people involved, too.
00:01:24:05	00:01:25:14	>> I don't know, Haley, that
00:01:25:14	00:01:28:01	sounds like a lot of work to me.
00:01:28:01	00:01:29:07	>> It's up to you.
00:01:29:07	00:01:30:23	This is a great hideout.
00:01:30:23	00:01:32:04	Do you want to hang out here,
00:01:32:04	00:01:33:10	or not?
00:01:33:10	00:01:34:24	>> Well, I do like it here,
00:01:34:24	00:01:36:00	and it's close to home.
00:01:36:00	00:01:37:12	So, if we get any good ideas,
00:01:37:12	00:01:38:25	let's try them.
00:01:38:25	00:01:40:03	>> Let's start with getting as
00:01:40:03	00:01:41:09	much as the not-so-gross stuff
00:01:41:09	00:01:42:19	as we can for now,
00:01:42:19	00:01:44:12	and see what we can do later.
00:01:44:12	00:01:46:22	>> Okay, here, I've got a bag.
00:01:51:05	00:01:52:21	>> Oh!
00:01:52:21	00:01:54:11	My name is Quinn Haberl.
00:01:54:11	00:01:55:14	And I'm a black belt
00:01:55:14	00:01:58:16	in Tae Kwon Do.
00:01:58:16	00:02:01:07	I've always enjoyed singing.
00:02:01:07	00:02:03:01	§ 'Til by turning §
00:02:03:01	00:02:06:22	§ Turning we come out right §
00:02:09:11	00:02:10:27	And I am visually impaired,
00:02:10:27	00:02:12:17	which means that I see
00:02:12:17	00:02:14:21	a little bit, but not much.
00:02:14:21	00:02:16:22	When I was five years old,
00:02:16:22	00:02:18:03	I asked my parents
00:02:18:03	00:02:19:28	if I could get a guide dog.
00:02:19:28	00:02:20:26	And they said...
00:02:20:26	00:02:22:04	(buzzer sound)
00:02:22:04	00:02:23:09	No.
00:02:23:09	00:02:24:18	Because in the United States,
00:02:24:18	00:02:25:26	they do not provide guide dogs
00:02:25:26	00:02:27:28	to children under the age of 18.
00:02:29:21	00:02:30:26	There was a school
00:02:30:26	00:02:32:10	up in Montreal, Canada, that
00:02:32:10	00:02:34:13	gave guide dogs to children.
00:02:34:13	00:02:35:20	My dad flew me up to
00:02:35:20	00:02:37:08	the guide dog school,
00:02:37:08	00:02:38:22	where I stayed for one month
00:02:38:22	00:02:41:07	and trained with Coda.
00:02:41:07	00:02:42:28	And Coda has changed my life
00:02:42:28	00:02:44:17	so much.
00:02:44:17	00:02:45:24	Before I got Coda,
00:02:45:24	00:02:47:05	I would fall down stairs
00:02:47:05	00:02:48:08	and I would literally
00:02:48:08	00:02:49:29	walk into walls.
00:02:49:29	00:02:52:02	Now I have the freedom.
00:02:52:02	00:02:53:23	I can be a normal citizen
00:02:53:23	00:02:56:14	of my community.
00:02:56:14	00:02:57:19	Coda and I have the right
00:02:57:19	00:02:58:25	to be anywhere
00:02:58:25	00:03:00:12	that any other person can be
00:03:00:12	00:03:04:00	regardless of our disability.
00:03:04:00	00:03:05:06	It's a big responsibility
00:03:05:06	00:03:06:18	to have a guide dog.
00:03:06:18	00:03:08:03	Kids who can handle a guide dog
00:03:08:03	00:03:09:07	should be able
00:03:09:07	00:03:11:10	to experience the freedom
00:03:11:10	00:03:12:24	and should be able to experience
00:03:12:24	00:03:15:15	my dream coming true for them.
00:03:15:15	00:03:16:27	>> Quinn came home
00:03:16:27	00:03:18:16	from school one day, and said,
00:03:18:16	00:03:20:06	"What are the chances
00:03:20:06	00:03:21:16	that we could build
00:03:21:16	00:03:22:29	a guide dog school here
00:03:22:29	00:03:25:09	for kids in the United States?"
00:03:25:09	00:03:27:14	We are totally committed
00:03:27:14	00:03:30:02	to making this happen.
00:03:30:02	00:03:31:09	>> One the words that I learned
00:03:31:09	00:03:32:21	was "networking," and that's
00:03:32:21	00:03:34:12	getting the word out.
00:03:34:12	00:03:35:17	Talking to new people,
00:03:35:17	00:03:37:05	telling them about my dream
00:03:37:05	00:03:38:20	and telling them how their help
00:03:38:20	00:03:42:05	is greatly appreciated.
00:03:42:05	00:03:43:13	Well, this morning, I spoke
00:03:43:13	00:03:45:04	at the County Board because
00:03:45:04	00:03:47:09	we're looking for any sort of
00:03:47:09	00:03:48:25	help that we can get from them,
00:03:48:25	00:03:50:00	anything that they
00:03:50:00	00:03:53:20	can offer to us is awesome.
00:03:53:20	00:03:55:29	My dream is not complete
00:03:55:29	00:03:57:19	until I have made other
00:03:57:19	00:03:59:16	children's dreams come true
00:03:59:16	00:04:01:01	just as mine has,
00:04:01:01	00:04:02:05	with the building
00:04:02:05	00:04:03:15	of the first guide dog school
00:04:03:15	00:04:04:22	in the United States
00:04:04:22	00:04:06:06	for children, right here
00:04:06:06	00:04:08:07	in Marinette County, Wisconsin.
00:04:08:07	00:04:09:08	Thank you very much
00:04:09:08	00:04:11:13	for having me speak today.
00:04:11:13	00:04:12:24	(applause)
00:04:12:24	00:04:13:25	You've got to respect
00:04:13:25	00:04:15:01	other people's viewpoints,
00:04:15:01	00:04:16:09	so you should always listen,
00:04:16:09	00:04:17:11	even if you disagree
00:04:17:11	00:04:18:12	with somebody,
00:04:18:12	00:04:19:10	always listen
00:04:19:10	00:04:21:00	to what they have to say.
00:04:21:00	00:04:22:05	>> Community support
00:04:22:05	00:04:23:14	here in Marinette
00:04:23:14	00:04:24:24	has just been incredible.
00:04:24:24	00:04:26:07	>> We had a fundraiser,
00:04:26:07	00:04:27:08	a pet walk.
00:04:27:08	00:04:28:14	People in the community
00:04:28:14	00:04:31:02	are raising puppies for us.
00:04:31:02	00:04:32:07	It's just the people
00:04:32:07	00:04:33:14	coming forward and saying,
00:04:33:14	00:04:34:27	"We want to help."
00:04:34:27	00:04:36:01	And my family's
00:04:36:01	00:04:37:06	just been the best.
00:04:37:06	00:04:39:19	They're my support team.
00:04:39:19	00:04:41:00	I want to see the quality
00:04:41:00	00:04:42:04	of visually impaired
00:04:42:04	00:04:43:13	and blind children's life--
00:04:43:13	00:04:44:18	I want to see the quality
00:04:44:18	00:04:45:23	of their life change,
00:04:45:23	00:04:47:24	because every kid has potential,
00:04:47:24	00:04:48:28	regardless of what disability
00:04:48:28	00:04:50:02	they have.
00:04:50:02	00:04:52:15	And no kid should forget that.
00:04:56:11	00:04:57:17	>> So, I talked to my soccer
00:04:57:17	00:04:58:23	coach last night.
00:04:58:23	00:04:59:26	She's also
00:04:59:26	00:05:01:05	a City Council member.
00:05:01:05	00:05:02:09	She told me everything
00:05:02:09	00:05:03:17	about City Council meetings
00:05:03:17	00:05:04:19	and how they work.
00:05:04:19	00:05:06:00	>> So, what will we be doing?
00:05:06:00	00:05:07:06	>> Basically, we have
00:05:07:06	00:05:08:19	ten minutes to present our ideas
00:05:08:19	00:05:09:27	to the City Council.
00:05:09:27	00:05:11:05	For now, our job is to get
00:05:11:05	00:05:12:23	all of our research organized.
00:05:12:23	00:05:14:01	Let's see what we've got.
00:05:14:01	00:05:15:07	>> Last week, I took lots
00:05:15:07	00:05:16:16	of pictures of city parks
00:05:16:16	00:05:17:23	that have litter problems.
00:05:17:23	00:05:19:05	>> Great, so we're set there.
00:05:19:05	00:05:20:13	>> And we have a lot of people
00:05:20:13	00:05:22:06	who agree with our surveys.
00:05:22:06	00:05:23:12	>> Yeah, and I can tell
00:05:23:12	00:05:24:18	from all the letters people have
00:05:24:18	00:05:26:02	been writing to the newspaper
00:05:26:02	00:05:27:18	that we're not the only ones
00:05:27:18	00:05:30:03	upset about all this litter.
00:05:30:03	00:05:31:20	>> Okay, and to fix this
00:05:31:20	00:05:32:29	problem, we agree that we need
00:05:32:29	00:05:34:08	more garbage cans,
00:05:34:08	00:05:35:21	more trash collection days
00:05:35:21	00:05:37:21	and more park signs, right?
00:05:37:21	00:05:38:22	>> Wait.
00:05:38:22	00:05:40:10	Why park signs?
00:05:40:10	00:05:41:14	>> Because when people see
00:05:41:14	00:05:42:23	park signs, they're less likely
00:05:42:23	00:05:44:13	to throw trash around.
00:05:44:13	00:05:45:16	They know that somebody
00:05:45:16	00:05:46:23	cares enough about the park
00:05:46:23	00:05:48:12	to put up a sign.
00:05:48:12	00:05:49:26	>> Hey, check it out.
00:05:49:26	00:05:51:03	Park signs seem to work
00:05:51:03	00:05:52:10	pretty well in these other
00:05:52:10	00:05:53:13	communities.
00:05:53:13	00:05:54:17	>> Hey, how about we bring
00:05:54:17	00:05:55:21	some garbage we found
00:05:55:21	00:05:57:24	at the park, like that old tire?
00:05:57:24	00:05:59:18	>> Let's see if we can find
00:05:59:18	00:06:01:21	another way to do that.
00:06:01:21	00:06:03:16	Like this poster of pictures,
00:06:03:16	00:06:05:09	our survey and some other parts
00:06:05:09	00:06:06:24	of our research.
00:06:06:24	00:06:07:27	>> We've definitely got
00:06:07:27	00:06:09:18	a lot of information collected.
00:06:09:18	00:06:10:25	>> Yeah, this presentation
00:06:10:25	00:06:13:11	is gonna be awesome!
00:06:22:00	00:06:23:01	>> Nerstrand School
00:06:23:01	00:06:24:26	is a service learning school.
00:06:24:26	00:06:28:01	And we do all sorts of projects.
00:06:28:01	00:06:29:13	>> We're making sandwiches
00:06:29:13	00:06:31:03	for the Simpson Homeless Shelter
00:06:31:03	00:06:33:13	in Minneapolis.
00:06:33:13	00:06:34:14	>> People need food
00:06:34:14	00:06:35:26	at the homeless shelter.
00:06:35:26	00:06:37:27	And we'll always try to help
00:06:37:27	00:06:42:27	people that are struggling.
00:06:42:27	00:06:44:17	>> We have a responsibility
00:06:44:17	00:06:46:19	for each other, our school
00:06:46:19	00:06:49:24	and our community.
00:06:49:24	00:06:52:18	>> We're planting acorns.
00:06:52:18	00:06:54:29	And once they grow,
00:06:54:29	00:06:56:12	we're going to take them
00:06:56:12	00:06:57:28	out of the pots and plant them
00:06:57:28	00:06:59:10	in the big woods.
00:06:59:10	00:07:01:12	We learned that we need trees
00:07:01:12	00:07:04:03	for oxygen, you know, 'cause
00:07:04:03	00:07:07:16	we need oxygen to live.
00:07:07:16	00:07:09:01	>> At our school, we think
00:07:09:01	00:07:10:06	it's very important
00:07:10:06	00:07:11:21	that it's not the adults
00:07:11:21	00:07:13:09	that make all the decisions
00:07:13:09	00:07:14:13	for the children,
00:07:14:13	00:07:15:19	especially when it
00:07:15:19	00:07:16:28	comes to service learning.
00:07:16:28	00:07:18:14	>> We also need new ideas
00:07:18:14	00:07:20:09	for service projects.
00:07:20:09	00:07:23:02	What are your suggestions?
00:07:23:02	00:07:24:18	>> We can go around Nerstrand
00:07:24:18	00:07:26:11	and pick up garbage.
00:07:26:11	00:07:27:15	>> Everybody has a say
00:07:27:15	00:07:28:22	in this school.
00:07:28:22	00:07:30:02	>> There are lots of committees
00:07:30:02	00:07:31:25	and the student's voice
00:07:31:25	00:07:33:04	is heard.
00:07:33:04	00:07:34:10	>> Like a few kids from
00:07:34:10	00:07:35:25	every homeroom is in
00:07:35:25	00:07:37:17	the "Learn and Serve" group.
00:07:37:17	00:07:39:01	>> The Learn and Serve students
00:07:39:01	00:07:40:21	meet, and then they're
00:07:40:21	00:07:42:16	responsible for taking back
00:07:42:16	00:07:45:25	information to the homerooms.
00:07:45:25	00:07:47:03	>> Our ideas come from
00:07:47:03	00:07:49:08	our homerooms.
00:07:49:08	00:07:50:12	>> So, then we'd go back
00:07:50:12	00:07:51:26	to Learn and Serve and then
00:07:51:26	00:07:53:05	we'd figure out what would be
00:07:53:05	00:07:54:16	the best idea.
00:07:54:16	00:07:55:26	>> So we're going to break
00:07:55:26	00:07:57:03	into our homeroom groups.
00:07:57:03	00:07:58:11	And you are going to go over
00:07:58:11	00:07:59:16	the list of ideas that
00:07:59:16	00:08:01:08	your homeroom came up with.
00:08:01:08	00:08:02:15	And you're going to narrow
00:08:02:15	00:08:04:15	those down to the top five.
00:08:04:15	00:08:05:29	Okay?
00:08:05:29	00:08:07:20	Talk about--
00:08:07:20	00:08:08:24	'Cause some of you might have
00:08:08:24	00:08:10:20	different opinions.
00:08:10:20	00:08:11:21	>> Then we could do,
00:08:11:21	00:08:13:04	like, games.
00:08:13:04	00:08:14:10	>> Yeah.
00:08:14:10	00:08:15:16	>> If we didn't have respect
00:08:15:16	00:08:16:21	in our committee meeting,
00:08:16:21	00:08:17:23	everybody would be
00:08:17:23	00:08:18:28	fighting all the time, and
00:08:18:28	00:08:20:08	we wouldn't get anything done.
00:08:20:08	00:08:21:12	>> It's really important
00:08:21:12	00:08:22:14	for them to know how
00:08:22:14	00:08:23:18	to problem solve,
00:08:23:18	00:08:25:01	how to work as a team.
00:08:25:01	00:08:26:19	>> Everybody gets to decide.
00:08:26:19	00:08:28:11	>> When you give kids choice,
00:08:28:11	00:08:30:02	they, I think have a feeling
00:08:30:02	00:08:34:06	more of it's their projects.
00:08:34:06	00:08:35:27	Kids understand that you
00:08:35:27	00:08:37:24	can really make a difference
00:08:37:24	00:08:39:05	in the world by reaching out
00:08:39:05	00:08:40:24	to others.
00:08:40:24	00:08:42:01	>> I know what I've learned here
00:08:42:01	00:08:44:06	I'll always remember.
00:08:51:24	00:08:52:24	>> Wow, who knew that
00:08:52:24	00:08:53:25	a City Council meeting could be
00:08:53:25	00:08:54:24	so exciting?
00:08:54:24	00:08:55:28	>> Yeah, but we still didn't get
00:08:55:28	00:08:57:01	everything we asked for.
00:08:57:01	00:08:57:27	They didn't give us
00:08:57:27	00:08:58:23	a "yes" or a "no"
00:08:58:23	00:08:59:22	on our idea for more
00:08:59:22	00:09:00:22	garbage cans and park signs.
00:09:00:22	00:09:01:20	>> And they said more
00:09:01:20	00:09:02:20	trash collecting days
00:09:02:20	00:09:04:01	are definitely out.
00:09:04:01	00:09:05:03	The parks department is
00:09:05:03	00:09:07:00	stretched to the limit on that.
00:09:07:00	00:09:09:01	>> Well, my mom has a saying.
00:09:09:01	00:09:10:28	"We're one voice among many."
00:09:10:28	00:09:12:23	>> What does that mean?
00:09:12:23	00:09:14:00	>> It means that there's a lot
00:09:14:00	00:09:14:27	of needs and ideas
00:09:14:27	00:09:16:06	for the Council to consider
00:09:16:06	00:09:17:28	along with ours.
00:09:17:28	00:09:19:03	>> And I sure wasn't expecting
00:09:19:03	00:09:21:03	that one guy to talk tonight.
00:09:21:03	00:09:22:14	He might have blown our chances
00:09:22:14	00:09:24:12	just to get this done.
00:09:24:12	00:09:25:15	>> Well, I understand
00:09:25:15	00:09:26:27	what he was saying, signs
00:09:26:27	00:09:28:14	and garbage cans just being
00:09:28:14	00:09:29:27	more clutter in our parks.
00:09:29:27	00:09:31:26	I just don't agree with him.
00:09:31:26	00:09:33:02	It isn't like we wanted
00:09:33:02	00:09:34:11	to add a fast food restaurant,
00:09:34:11	00:09:35:19	or something.
00:09:35:19	00:09:36:25	>> Why did he say people should
00:09:36:25	00:09:38:18	be taking out their own trash?
00:09:38:18	00:09:39:22	They aren't doing that
00:09:39:22	00:09:41:07	and that's the problem.
00:09:41:07	00:09:42:19	>> Yeah, but it was really cool
00:09:42:19	00:09:43:21	when that same guy
00:09:43:21	00:09:44:26	came up to us afterwards and
00:09:44:26	00:09:46:22	told us what a great job we did.
00:09:46:22	00:09:47:26	>> I guess people really can
00:09:47:26	00:09:49:19	disagree about important things
00:09:49:19	00:09:51:27	and still be respectful.
00:09:51:27	00:09:53:21	>> It's still taking forever,
00:09:53:21	00:09:55:04	and now we have to wait
00:09:55:04	00:09:56:27	another week.
00:09:56:27	00:09:58:09	>> It's taken us a month
00:09:58:09	00:09:59:24	to get this far.
00:09:59:24	00:10:01:10	These things take time.
00:10:01:10	00:10:03:03	>> You can say that again.
00:10:14:08	00:10:15:15	>> San Pablo is like, across
00:10:15:15	00:10:19:26	the Bay of San Francisco.
00:10:19:26	00:10:24:03	Our schools are in need badly.
00:10:24:03	00:10:25:07	>> If an earthquake
00:10:25:07	00:10:28:00	happens here, they're not safe.
00:10:28:00	00:10:29:16	>> We need more textbooks
00:10:29:16	00:10:30:24	for our school, because
00:10:30:24	00:10:32:10	we can't learn without them.
00:10:32:10	00:10:33:10	>> There was like,
00:10:33:10	00:10:34:20	no toilet paper and no water,
00:10:34:20	00:10:36:26	you know, for your hands.
00:10:36:26	00:10:37:28	>> So why does their
00:10:37:28	00:10:39:11	public school look like
00:10:39:11	00:10:41:12	it's about to fall apart?
00:10:41:12	00:10:42:15	>> And you know, we're wondering
00:10:42:15	00:10:43:26	why that is, because
00:10:43:26	00:10:45:00	supposedly everybody
00:10:45:00	00:10:46:01	is supposed to be equal,
00:10:46:01	00:10:47:00	you know, everybody
00:10:47:00	00:10:49:04	has equal rights here.
00:10:49:04	00:10:50:04	>> That's when they were able
00:10:50:04	00:10:51:08	to see with their own eyes,
00:10:51:08	00:10:52:11	this is unjust;
00:10:52:11	00:10:53:16	this is unfair.
00:10:53:16	00:10:54:19	So one kid started talking
00:10:54:19	00:10:55:22	to another kid.
00:10:55:22	00:10:56:26	And then there started
00:10:56:26	00:10:57:27	to be conversations
00:10:57:27	00:10:59:02	out in the classroom,
00:10:59:02	00:11:00:06	out on the playground.
00:11:00:06	00:11:01:13	And kids were like,
00:11:01:13	00:11:02:18	what if we come together?
00:11:02:18	00:11:03:26	So, we had a huge meeting
00:11:03:26	00:11:05:08	in the auditorium.
00:11:05:08	00:11:06:14	And then, the idea of the March
00:11:06:14	00:11:08:08	came about.
00:11:08:08	00:11:09:11	The March 4 education
00:11:09:11	00:11:11:00	was a 70-mile march
00:11:11:00	00:11:13:00	all the way to the state capital
00:11:13:00	00:11:14:14	in Sacramento.
00:11:14:14	00:11:15:18	>> We're marching 70 miles
00:11:15:18	00:11:16:23	to bring attention to the fact
00:11:16:23	00:11:18:04	that the schools in our district
00:11:18:04	00:11:19:10	are not equal to the schools
00:11:19:10	00:11:20:12	throughout the rest
00:11:20:12	00:11:21:15	of the state.
00:11:21:15	00:11:22:28	>> The march started when
00:11:22:28	00:11:25:16	we were in our spring break.
00:11:25:16	00:11:27:06	>> Kids made the choice.
00:11:27:06	00:11:28:14	I'm not going to be watching TV
00:11:28:14	00:11:29:13	or playing video games
00:11:29:13	00:11:30:17	during my spring break.
00:11:30:17	00:11:31:25	I'm going to march
00:11:31:25	00:11:34:01	about 12 miles a day.
00:11:36:03	00:11:37:24	That's the choice the kids made.
00:11:37:24	00:11:39:01	They convinced their parents
00:11:39:01	00:11:40:02	this is something
00:11:40:02	00:11:41:24	that was within their rights.
00:11:41:24	00:11:42:22	>> Everybody has the right
00:11:42:22	00:11:44:02	to be heard.
00:11:44:02	00:11:45:26	That's why we were marching.
00:11:45:26	00:11:47:01	>> I was leading
00:11:47:01	00:11:48:20	the slogans.
00:11:48:20	00:11:49:25	>> Marchers: What do we want?
00:11:49:25	00:11:50:26	Education!
00:11:50:26	00:11:52:03	>> What do we want?
00:11:52:03	00:11:53:07	Education.
00:11:53:07	00:11:54:14	When do we want it?
00:11:54:14	00:11:55:25	Now.
00:11:55:25	00:11:57:04	>> Everybody around
00:11:57:04	00:11:58:17	was cheering cheers,
00:11:58:17	00:11:59:21	talking about the problems
00:11:59:21	00:12:01:28	in our community.
00:12:01:28	00:12:03:02	>> Some people came out
00:12:03:02	00:12:04:12	of their houses
00:12:04:12	00:12:05:28	just to march at least one mile.
00:12:05:28	00:12:07:20	>> So we were passing a bridge,
00:12:07:20	00:12:09:07	and people under the freeway,
00:12:09:07	00:12:10:27	they were honking at us.
00:12:10:27	00:12:12:04	Telling you, you know,
00:12:12:04	00:12:13:05	we believe what you're doing
00:12:13:05	00:12:14:20	is right, so keep on doing it.
00:12:14:20	00:12:16:05	That's when I felt like, really,
00:12:16:05	00:12:19:05	I was making a difference.
00:12:19:05	00:12:20:25	>> I think marching in the
00:12:20:25	00:12:22:15	group was an effective way
00:12:22:15	00:12:24:13	to show people that
00:12:24:13	00:12:26:03	not only one person thinks
00:12:26:03	00:12:27:24	that we need our education.
00:12:27:24	00:12:29:28	>> Once a student finds out
00:12:29:28	00:12:31:08	there's an injustice,
00:12:31:08	00:12:33:27	yes, you have rights.
00:12:33:27	00:12:35:17	You have the right to protest.
00:12:35:17	00:12:37:11	You have the right to speak out.
00:12:37:11	00:12:38:23	But you also have
00:12:38:23	00:12:40:23	a responsibility to speak up.
00:12:40:23	00:12:42:06	And to do it in a way that's
00:12:42:06	00:12:43:24	going to bring people together.
00:12:43:24	00:12:45:05	>> You should also show
00:12:45:05	00:12:46:12	what you think,
00:12:46:12	00:12:48:03	not keep it to yourself.
00:12:48:03	00:12:50:09	Because then later on,
00:12:50:09	00:12:52:09	you might be complaining,
00:12:52:09	00:12:53:27	and it might also be your fault
00:12:53:27	00:12:54:27	because you
00:12:54:27	00:12:56:13	didn't say something.
00:12:56:13	00:12:57:19	>> Podiamos hacer algo
00:12:57:19	00:13:00:04	por nuestra communidad.
00:13:00:04	00:13:01:13	>> And they did see changes.
00:13:01:13	00:13:02:27	So, now the local elementary
00:13:02:27	00:13:04:08	school is going to get changes,
00:13:04:08	00:13:05:21	it is going to get renovated.
00:13:05:21	00:13:06:27	>> The march made a change
00:13:06:27	00:13:07:26	in my life
00:13:07:26	00:13:09:17	because my voice could be heard.
00:13:12:10	00:13:13:24	>> This sign looks great!
00:13:13:24	00:13:14:21	>> And the garbage can
00:13:14:21	00:13:15:21	fits right in!
00:13:15:21	00:13:16:16	>> Hey, you two,
00:13:16:16	00:13:19:21	come look at our hideout!
00:13:19:21	00:13:20:26	Wow!
00:13:20:26	00:13:24:06	What a difference!
00:13:24:06	00:13:25:01	>> Whoa!
00:13:25:01	00:13:25:28	It looks like
00:13:25:28	00:13:26:28	our old place again.
00:13:26:28	00:13:28:04	Even better!
00:13:28:04	00:13:29:08	>> This was a lot easier
00:13:29:08	00:13:30:11	than I thought.
00:13:30:11	00:13:31:12	>> Is this the same guy
00:13:31:12	00:13:32:12	that was complaining
00:13:32:12	00:13:33:29	about how hard this was?
00:13:33:29	00:13:36:09	>> Okay, so, it wasn't easy.
00:13:36:09	00:13:38:13	>> It was a lot of work.
00:13:38:13	00:13:39:17	>> Yes, but it all seems
00:13:39:17	00:13:41:00	worth it.
00:13:41:00	00:13:42:09	I didn't think we stood a chance
00:13:42:09	00:13:43:15	when we decided to take on
00:13:43:15	00:13:45:18	this problem.
00:13:45:18	00:13:46:24	>> But we still didn't get
00:13:46:24	00:13:48:08	everything we asked for.
00:13:48:08	00:13:49:11	And I thought we made
00:13:49:11	00:13:50:15	a pretty good case for those
00:13:50:15	00:13:52:05	extra trash collection days.
00:13:52:05	00:13:53:05	>> True.
00:13:53:05	00:13:54:19	But that's the reality
00:13:54:19	00:13:55:29	of making a change like this.
00:13:55:29	00:13:57:23	There's lots to think about.
00:13:57:23	00:13:59:28	That's how this stuff goes.
00:13:59:28	00:14:01:15	>> Yes, but the important thing
00:14:01:15	00:14:02:19	is that we didn't give up
00:14:02:19	00:14:03:21	and we did make
00:14:03:21	00:14:05:10	some good changes.
00:14:05:10	00:14:06:16	>> Yeah, this definitely was
00:14:06:16	00:14:08:04	a group effort.
00:14:08:04	00:14:09:24	>> All right, so we're ready
00:14:09:24	00:14:11:25	for the next project, right?
00:14:11:25	00:14:13:08	>> Next project?
00:14:13:08	00:14:14:07	>> Let's see if we can
00:14:14:07	00:14:15:14	get the City Council
00:14:15:14	00:14:17:17	to clean up my bedroom.
00:14:17:17	00:14:19:27	>> Yeah, right.
