00:00:02.660 --> 00:00:08.600
I would say that my most favorite thing
about the library are the people here

2
00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:13.490
they believed in me and so it made me
start believing in me

3
00:00:13.490 --> 00:00:19.519
I just love Laurie with the computer she
she could sense that I was scared I

4
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:24.560
would I couldn't even stand next door
I mean I just was so intimidated and she

5
00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:28.220
told me well you've got to come to my
classes you've got to come and see and

6
00:00:28.220 --> 00:00:33.170
when I went in there she was like she
made everybody feel like they were just

7
00:00:33.170 --> 00:00:39.950
a little Einstein I can type 39 words a
minute and I practice and I can get in

8
00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:45.079
my email now my other friend here is
Leslie and she started telling me about

9
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:49.579
places to go apply for work and I was
like they think I can hold down a job

10
00:00:49.579 --> 00:00:55.460
and then one day somebody brought it up
school and they said well you're gonna

11
00:00:55.460 --> 00:00:59.899
go and go to PCC aren't you I mean I
looked at them what you've got to be

12
00:00:59.899 --> 00:01:06.260
crazy and the next time I came in I
wanted them to be proud of me and they

13
00:01:06.260 --> 00:01:13.670
were and named when I started school
these guys were right there and I'm

14
00:01:13.670 --> 00:01:18.320
actually gonna it's my first semester
now in college but I'm making really

15
00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:27.800
good grades before my life was a series
of picking bad people for my life and I

16
00:01:27.800 --> 00:01:32.570
would start getting on my feet and I'd
start doing better and boom there I was

17
00:01:32.570 --> 00:01:38.270
in a shelter again and I thought I can't
live the rest of my life this way today

18
00:01:38.270 --> 00:01:44.090
I got my own apartment I'm doing well I
mean I'm living on nothing but that's

19
00:01:44.090 --> 00:01:49.190
okay because I have more riches than
everything else so I'm so much more

20
00:01:49.190 --> 00:01:56.140
positive and it's right because right
here I really want to say that
