<v ->The best thing anyone ever said to me is,</v>

2
00:00:02.920 --> 00:00:07.453 line:15% 
after I got finished teaching a class in the high school,

3
00:00:09.220 --> 00:00:12.560 line:15% 
the principal came up to me and told me I was very brave,

4
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:17.560 line:15% 
and that he felt that if more people would come in

5
00:00:18.010 --> 00:00:20.410 line:15% 
and tell their stories about AIDS

6
00:00:20.410 --> 00:00:22.280 line:15% 
and other things that you could get into,

7
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:27.280 line:15% 
or drugs, anything, that maybe the kids would listen.

8
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.490 line:15% 
And it's rewarding, it's really rewarding.

9
00:00:31.490 --> 00:00:34.650 line:15% 
When you go in, you talk to kids, and you sit down.

10
00:00:34.650 --> 00:00:38.500 line:15% 
I went into Tryon, the Tryon School for Boys.

11
00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:40.790 line:15% 
It's a prison for boys.

12
00:00:40.790 --> 00:00:43.170 line:15% 
And we sat down and we talked to them.

13
00:00:43.170 --> 00:00:45.160 line:15% 
And we had a really good time with them.

14
00:00:45.160 --> 00:00:48.470 line:15% 
And those are the kids who need to be told.

15
00:00:48.470 --> 00:00:50.960 line:15% 
The kids that are already active in drugs,

16
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.810 line:15% 
already active in prison life,

17
00:00:53.810 --> 00:00:55.680 line:15% 
you know, reform schools,

18
00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:57.700 line:15% 
because those are the boys that they send

19
00:00:57.700 --> 00:00:59.800 line:15% 
right back to the street.

20
00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:02.680 line:15% 
And these are the kids that really need to be told.

21
00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:04.470 line:15% 
And when I leave those schools,

22
00:01:04.470 --> 00:01:07.170 line:15% 
and they shake my hand and they say thank you,

23
00:01:07.170 --> 00:01:09.023 line:15% 
that's the best feeling in the world.
