Right, I know you can do it.
Left, you can't. All right? Go hard.

:21:08

If you look at Matthew,
and again he's saying...

:21:21
at the time the kingdom ofheaven
will be like this.

:21:25
This is how Matthew's gonna useJesus.
This is how he's gonna start it out.

:21:28

:21:32
When I first came out here,
it was, like, "I wanna go home.

:21:37

But every little thing you do
that go against their rule...

:21:45
you have detention.
:21:48

The kids that are willing to do it...
:21:58

tests revealed he was working

:22:25
I could see that he had the potential...
:22:28
but because he was shy, it seemed as though
no one was trying to reach him.

:22:34
Sister Marilyn told me,
"You have to be one good ballplayer...

:22:39
to get in this school with these grades. '"
:22:42
- What war beginning in the '60s?
- Vietnam.

:22:45
At the end of the year,
he had gone four grades above...

:22:51
just in the way he listened and learned.
:22:58
Back in grammar school...
