Filmed over three years in China and the U.S., MAINELAND is a multi-layered coming-of-age tale that follows two affluent and cosmopolitan teenagers as they settle into a boarding school in blue-collar rural Maine. Part of the enormous wave of "parachute students" from China enrolling in U.S. private schools, bubbly, fun-loving Stella and introspective Harry come seeking a Western-style education, escape from the dreaded Chinese college entrance exam, and the promise of a Hollywood-style U.S. high school experience. As Stella and Harry’s fuzzy visions of the American dream slowly gain more clarity, they ruminate on their experiences of alienation, culture clash, and personal identity, sharing new understandings and poignant discourses on home and country.

00:00:05.109 --> 00:00:07.859
(peaceful music)
00:00:30.870 --> 00:00:33.598
- [Stella] The first time I
learned about America was when I
00:00:33.598 --> 00:00:37.515
met a cute little American
boy in kindergarten.
00:00:39.987 --> 00:00:42.310
It was my first impression of America,
00:00:42.310 --> 00:00:44.710
and I thought all the
boys in America were cute.
00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:50.630
However, the first time I
fell in love with America
00:00:50.630 --> 00:00:53.700
was in middle school, when
I watched a famous movie
00:00:53.700 --> 00:00:55.050
called High School Musical.
00:00:56.016 --> 00:00:59.413
The movie described daily life
in an American high school.
00:01:02.650 --> 00:01:05.897
It showed how American
students study, play, and date.
00:01:07.176 --> 00:01:09.826
Since then I started dream
about studying in America.
00:01:12.377 --> 00:01:14.523
Then I look at a newspaper that said,
00:01:14.523 --> 00:01:16.523
go to America for senior high school.
00:02:04.997 --> 00:02:08.414
(moody electronic music)
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.840
- [Man] I have a strong desire
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.003
to be a member of your school.
00:02:56.430 --> 00:02:59.130
- [Woman] I must go to America to study.
00:02:59.130 --> 00:03:01.853
- [Woman] Very excited for
a whole new life for me.
00:03:40.740 --> 00:03:42.720
- [Chris] In the late
90s and the early 2000s,
00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:45.160
there really started to
be a decline in applicants
00:03:45.160 --> 00:03:46.693
for American boarding schools.
00:03:48.040 --> 00:03:50.090
That's when schools really discovered
00:03:50.090 --> 00:03:52.283
the international market.
00:03:54.430 --> 00:03:57.400
What had just been a nice
thing to have some diversity
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.193
now became essential for viability.
00:04:03.832 --> 00:04:05.580
At that time, the largest population
00:04:05.580 --> 00:04:06.860
was the Japanese students.
00:04:06.860 --> 00:04:10.030
That quickly shifted
to the Korean students.
00:04:10.030 --> 00:04:12.920
After 2006 when the
floodgates opened from China,
00:04:12.920 --> 00:04:16.520
and especially after 2008,
when the economy turned,
00:04:16.520 --> 00:04:19.200
China quickly became the largest
population of international
00:04:19.200 --> 00:04:22.083
students and that shows
no sign of stopping.
00:04:31.820 --> 00:04:33.403
- [Man] It's 1,759.
00:04:35.980 --> 00:04:40.980
This is your schedule.
00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:04.510
- We were founded in 1792,
which makes us the eighth oldest
00:05:04.510 --> 00:05:06.520
private school in the United States.
00:05:06.520 --> 00:05:09.200
We are a co-ed day and boarding school,
00:05:09.200 --> 00:05:12.120
we have about 650 students total.
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.250
And most of our students
are day students, about 500,
00:05:15.250 --> 00:05:16.920
come from all the towns around.
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.900
And our goal is to have about
12 or 15 Chinese students
00:05:19.900 --> 00:05:20.733
for each grade.
00:05:51.020 --> 00:05:52.700
- [Chris] What are you most
excited about when you think
00:05:52.700 --> 00:05:55.270
about coming to America,
to boarding school?
00:05:55.270 --> 00:05:59.110
- Chinese school always
has a lot of homework.
00:05:59.110 --> 00:06:02.410
- I want give me some free time.
00:06:02.410 --> 00:06:05.360
- Chinese education is exam-oriented.
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:06.738
We have a lot of homework.
00:06:06.738 --> 00:06:08.900
A lot of, a lot of, a lot of, a lot of.
00:06:08.900 --> 00:06:13.080
- [Harry] There is a teaching
style like critical thinking?
00:06:13.080 --> 00:06:17.060
We can talk about our different opinions?
00:06:17.060 --> 00:06:19.630
- Yeah, in the U.S. the
idea is that the students
00:06:19.630 --> 00:06:22.060
should begin to think for themselves.
00:06:22.060 --> 00:06:25.423
What do you like to do for
fun, on the weekends, to relax?
00:06:26.826 --> 00:06:29.503
- I'm good at basketball.
00:06:29.503 --> 00:06:33.180
- [Student] This is my ship
models, this is a small one.
00:06:33.180 --> 00:06:35.650
- [Chris] Do you like math
and science, like arts?
00:06:35.650 --> 00:06:36.483
- I like math.
00:06:36.483 --> 00:06:39.731
- Americans are terrible at math. (laughs)
00:06:39.731 --> 00:06:42.080
It's okay, it's alright,
we're fat and lazy.
00:06:42.080 --> 00:06:43.564
We're not ashamed to admit it.
00:06:43.564 --> 00:06:47.924
♪ Just gotta stand
there and heard me cry ♪
00:06:47.924 --> 00:06:52.055
♪ It's alright because
I love the way you lie ♪
00:06:52.055 --> 00:06:55.640
♪ Love the way you lie (giggles) ♪
00:06:55.640 --> 00:06:57.080
- [Chris] Tell me about your future goals.
00:06:57.080 --> 00:06:59.113
What are some of your future goals?
00:07:00.210 --> 00:07:01.653
- Teacher?
- Really?
00:07:02.930 --> 00:07:04.570
What kind of teacher?
00:07:04.570 --> 00:07:06.210
- Math teacher.
- Math teacher?
00:07:06.210 --> 00:07:07.920
- Yes, it's interesting.
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:08.753
- Yeah.
00:07:08.753 --> 00:07:10.540
- My father is a businessman.
00:07:10.540 --> 00:07:14.390
I want to study business
to be his good assistant.
00:07:14.390 --> 00:07:18.922
Yeah, but I also want to be an artist.
00:07:18.922 --> 00:07:23.922
- I'm, uh, learning music composition.
00:07:26.610 --> 00:07:28.920
I want to join the band.
00:07:30.259 --> 00:07:31.523
- [Chris] What do your parents think?
00:07:32.760 --> 00:07:37.760
- My father is a very, a
man, a very kind man, I mean.
00:07:38.400 --> 00:07:43.400
When he was 18, my grandparent
gave my father 1,000 pounds,
00:07:43.870 --> 00:07:47.280
let my father went to England by himself.
00:07:47.280 --> 00:07:48.150
- Wow.
- Yeah.
00:07:48.150 --> 00:07:51.940
My father didn't use that
1,000 pounds, he worked,
00:07:51.940 --> 00:07:56.660
and earned money for his study,
until he came back to China.
00:07:56.660 --> 00:07:58.470
- [Chris] So what happened
to the 1,000 pounds?
00:07:58.470 --> 00:08:02.080
- He gave it back to my grandparents.
00:08:02.080 --> 00:08:04.023
- Oh, when he comes back home?
- Yes.
00:08:09.620 --> 00:08:11.470
- I'm the member of Mifan Mama.
00:08:11.470 --> 00:08:14.610
A charity organization
which helps Chinese orphans.
00:08:14.610 --> 00:08:18.503
My father donate 100,000
Yuan for each year.
00:08:20.090 --> 00:08:23.287
They are so happy and they
all hug me and kiss me.
00:08:23.287 --> 00:08:25.053
"Oh, sister, sister," like that.
00:08:26.070 --> 00:08:28.419
- [Chris] Wow, okay, that's good, yeah.
00:08:28.419 --> 00:08:31.130
- [Stella] (chuckles)
Why, oh, it's so sad?
00:08:31.130 --> 00:08:33.468
- No, that's okay.
- Okay, hi.
00:08:33.468 --> 00:08:35.920
Hi, hi.
- Sad is part of life.
00:08:35.920 --> 00:08:37.170
We can't always be happy.
00:08:39.236 --> 00:08:40.510
What am I looking for, family name what?
00:08:40.510 --> 00:08:41.870
- [Woman] H-E.
00:08:41.870 --> 00:08:43.750
- H?
- Yes.
00:08:43.750 --> 00:08:45.370
- [Chris] Oh, there's Harry.
00:08:45.370 --> 00:08:48.700
Harry was young, naive, and quirky.
00:08:48.700 --> 00:08:50.440
He had that curious mind.
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.770
- [Woman] I think that
Stella's gonna be more of like
00:08:52.770 --> 00:08:56.170
a leader or organizer
addition to the community.
00:08:56.170 --> 00:08:58.770
You probably got the same impression.
00:08:58.770 --> 00:09:01.450
- Stella came in like a whirlwind,
I had zero expectations,
00:09:01.450 --> 00:09:05.630
and she came in and, yeah,
like a house on fire.
00:09:05.630 --> 00:09:08.250
- When I first read his
application, I was put off.
00:09:08.250 --> 00:09:11.410
He is the son of successful
bankers, he expects to make
00:09:11.410 --> 00:09:14.290
his first bucket of gold
as soon as he's old enough.
00:09:14.290 --> 00:09:15.497
- [Chris] Did he use "bucket of gold?"
00:09:15.497 --> 00:09:18.940
- He actually used "bucket of gold," yeah.
00:09:18.940 --> 00:09:21.620
But he didn't come across this
way in the interview at all,
00:09:21.620 --> 00:09:23.520
in fact, he said that
while his parents want him
00:09:23.520 --> 00:09:25.820
to go into economics,
he would prefer to be
00:09:25.820 --> 00:09:28.190
an archaeologist and study dinosaurs.
00:09:28.190 --> 00:09:30.800
- [Woman] They think they're
giving us what we want to hear,
00:09:30.800 --> 00:09:34.000
and clearly they don't understand
that what we want to know,
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:37.321
is how they actually think. (laughs)
00:09:37.321 --> 00:09:38.755
- [Chris] Something closer to the truth.
00:09:38.755 --> 00:09:41.253
- Something resembling the truth.
00:09:42.820 --> 00:09:45.660
They think we wanna hear that they're all,
00:09:45.660 --> 00:09:48.640
the kids are so driven and
they wanna be economists,
00:09:48.640 --> 00:09:51.043
but obviously that's not the case.
00:09:52.574 --> 00:09:54.980
- You wanna go on?
- Enthusiastic and likable.
00:09:54.980 --> 00:09:57.930
Traveled quite a bit,
liked Japan the most.
00:09:57.930 --> 00:10:01.040
Likes American pop music,
Green Day and Eminem.
00:10:01.040 --> 00:10:02.213
He plays the trumpet.
00:10:03.494 --> 00:10:05.600
He plays in the school drum corps.
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:07.710
His sister is in school in Toronto,
00:10:07.710 --> 00:10:09.747
studying international relations.
00:10:12.511 --> 00:10:15.094
(lively music)
00:12:13.651 --> 00:12:14.484
Prodigal.
00:12:15.318 --> 00:12:20.001
Profligate. (laughs)
00:13:17.651 --> 00:13:20.734
(peaceful pop music)
00:13:29.032 --> 00:13:32.115
(bright chime music)
00:14:49.324 --> 00:14:52.741
(moody electronic music)
00:17:51.204 --> 00:17:54.287
(upbeat piano music)
00:18:02.323 --> 00:18:03.156
- Hello!
00:18:03.156 --> 00:18:05.670
Today is a very special day for me.
00:18:05.670 --> 00:18:08.590
I'm so happy to receive
the offer from Fryeburg.
00:18:08.590 --> 00:18:11.630
It's my ideal school, my dream comes true.
00:18:11.630 --> 00:18:14.370
I will not let you down,
just believe in me.
00:18:14.370 --> 00:18:16.980
Now I'm so excited for everything.
00:18:16.980 --> 00:18:19.800
I expect my new school life, new friends,
00:18:19.800 --> 00:18:22.733
new class, I'm coming, see you soon!
00:18:27.008 --> 00:18:29.841
(moody pop music)
00:19:32.447 --> 00:19:35.780
(peaceful guitar music)
00:21:33.659 --> 00:21:37.780
- My name is Adele, I'm
from South Portland, Maine.
00:21:37.780 --> 00:21:40.883
- Hey, I'm Julia, and I'm from China.
00:21:42.150 --> 00:21:44.140
- Hello, my name is Qiao.
00:21:44.140 --> 00:21:45.730
- Hi, I'm Jessie.
00:21:45.730 --> 00:21:50.609
- I'm Kat, I live in
Chase, I'm from Boston.
00:21:50.609 --> 00:21:53.320
- I'm Sara, I'm from Spain.
00:21:53.320 --> 00:21:54.203
- Hi, I'm Stella!
00:21:55.220 --> 00:21:56.247
Nice to meet you!
00:21:57.300 --> 00:21:59.613
I'm junior and I'm in Frye Hall.
00:22:00.932 --> 00:22:04.173
- [Woman] Good morning, and who are you?
00:22:04.173 --> 00:22:06.923
- I'm, my last name is
Za-hu, Zee-hu, sorry.
00:22:08.451 --> 00:22:10.830
- Z-H-U?
- Z-H-U.
00:22:14.390 --> 00:22:15.560
- What country are you from?
- China.
00:22:15.560 --> 00:22:18.320
- I'm going to need to
order you health insurance,
00:22:18.320 --> 00:22:20.940
unless you have something different.
00:22:20.940 --> 00:22:23.333
Okay, give you that back.
00:22:24.610 --> 00:22:26.760
I don't want your I-20,
this is the form I wanted.
00:22:26.760 --> 00:22:29.220
It's the most important paper
you'll give anybody today.
00:22:29.220 --> 00:22:32.470
You get run over by a car,
nobody's gonna help you,
00:22:32.470 --> 00:22:36.003
until I have that, (laughs) it's America.
00:23:02.170 --> 00:23:04.389
- [Harry's Father] One thing
I worry about is that I hope
00:23:04.389 --> 00:23:07.730
he will not lost the confidence.
00:23:07.730 --> 00:23:11.760
- We always remind the students
too that, to find the things
00:23:11.760 --> 00:23:13.150
that they're good at, you know?
00:23:13.150 --> 00:23:15.410
The students will learn from success,
00:23:15.410 --> 00:23:17.210
but they'll also learn from failure.
00:24:09.351 --> 00:24:12.119
- What is, seriously?
(student laughs)
00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:15.536
(students speak Chinese)
00:24:30.991 --> 00:24:34.158
(bluesy guitar music)
00:25:22.490 --> 00:25:24.907
- [Student] Woo, I got a hit.
00:25:32.971 --> 00:25:35.030
- And you are?
- Bianca.
00:25:35.030 --> 00:25:37.307
- And where you from?
- China.
00:25:37.307 --> 00:25:38.390
- Henry, where you from?
- Harry.
00:25:38.390 --> 00:25:41.180
- Harry, I'll get you right,
Harry, where you from?
00:25:41.180 --> 00:25:43.219
- China.
- Danielle, where you from?
00:25:43.219 --> 00:25:44.136
- Fryeburg.
00:25:45.070 --> 00:25:48.370
- I'm part Italian, part
Columbian and part Venezuelan.
00:25:48.370 --> 00:25:49.760
- [Teacher] And you're
the only Jamaican here?
00:25:49.760 --> 00:25:50.903
- Yeah.
- What city?
00:25:52.130 --> 00:25:55.408
- In the center of China, you don't know.
00:25:55.408 --> 00:25:57.323
(students laugh)
00:25:57.323 --> 00:25:59.060
- [Teacher] I don't,
that's why I ask questions.
00:25:59.060 --> 00:26:01.140
And how was your summer?
00:26:01.140 --> 00:26:03.430
- Just hung around, nothing really.
00:26:03.430 --> 00:26:06.820
- Worked, over at the Oxford House.
00:26:06.820 --> 00:26:10.368
- Was that a good job?
- Uh, yeah, keeps you busy.
00:26:10.368 --> 00:26:13.400
- Travel and lose fat. (chuckles)
00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:15.273
I lost 20 pounds during the summer.
00:26:16.611 --> 00:26:19.103
- Study.
- Did you study all day?
00:26:20.243 --> 00:26:22.180
- Well, six day a week.
00:26:22.180 --> 00:26:24.760
- So did you study all summer?
- No, of course not.
00:26:24.760 --> 00:26:26.610
(students laugh)
00:26:26.610 --> 00:26:28.544
- Day care.
- Was it a good job?
00:26:28.544 --> 00:26:31.350
- Yes.
(students giggle)
00:26:31.350 --> 00:26:34.560
- [Teacher] So, tell everybody
the population of your city.
00:26:34.560 --> 00:26:36.780
- Around eight million?
00:26:36.780 --> 00:26:38.270
- Okay.
- What?
00:26:38.270 --> 00:26:41.550
- The entire state of Maine
is one million, so his city,
00:26:41.550 --> 00:26:43.270
which is near Shanghai, has eight million.
00:26:43.270 --> 00:26:46.190
- [Student] That's New York,
the biggest city in our country
00:26:46.190 --> 00:26:48.740
is not even the biggest city in China.
00:26:48.740 --> 00:26:49.930
- [Teacher] While you're here,
00:26:49.930 --> 00:26:51.420
you're doing something that's very brave.
00:26:51.420 --> 00:26:55.060
You are taking a big risk
to go to another place.
00:26:55.060 --> 00:26:58.520
To meet all new people,
it's kind of a scary thing.
00:26:58.520 --> 00:27:01.730
Okay, so you all have a piece of paper.
00:27:01.730 --> 00:27:03.440
So I want you to think for a minute about
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:04.903
what are your goals?
00:27:07.310 --> 00:27:08.721
Three things you wanna do this year.
00:27:08.721 --> 00:27:13.721
- Wait, just the new kids?
- Everyone can do it.
00:27:14.520 --> 00:27:17.603
(background chatter)
00:27:47.743 --> 00:27:49.860
- [Teacher] That was not rude.
00:27:49.860 --> 00:27:51.690
Believe me, Stella, that's fine.
00:27:51.690 --> 00:27:53.600
It's cool that you asked about your grade.
00:27:53.600 --> 00:27:55.740
That means that you care,
I gave you an A minus,
00:27:55.740 --> 00:27:57.950
but I'm sure you'll
get an A for the class,
00:27:57.950 --> 00:28:01.890
like I hardly spend any time
on grades 'cause it's so early
00:28:01.890 --> 00:28:05.280
and I didn't really look and
I know you're doing well.
00:28:05.280 --> 00:28:07.147
So you probably do deserve an A.
00:28:07.147 --> 00:28:08.650
And I think you will get an A.
00:28:09.530 --> 00:28:11.960
Those grades that got put out,
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:14.910
they don't go on your permanent record.
00:28:14.910 --> 00:28:16.472
- Okay.
- Okay?
00:28:16.472 --> 00:28:17.322
- Thanks.
- Yes.
00:28:19.330 --> 00:28:21.950
The worst part of my job is doing grades.
00:28:21.950 --> 00:28:25.930
It's like, doesn't match at
all with what I wanna do here,
00:28:25.930 --> 00:28:28.933
is just like make art
with kids. (chuckles)
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:36.460
- In the story of the Outsiders,
00:28:36.460 --> 00:28:41.107
there are two distinct groups,
the socs, and the greasers.
00:28:41.107 --> 00:28:43.470
The socs are the rich kids with the cars.
00:28:43.470 --> 00:28:45.800
They have the nice clothes.
00:28:45.800 --> 00:28:48.530
Greasers don't do very well in school.
00:28:48.530 --> 00:28:50.640
Their clothes are different.
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:53.640
They're not necessarily
bad, but different.
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:56.500
Talk to me about their home life.
00:28:56.500 --> 00:28:58.444
Is it like your home life, May?
00:28:58.444 --> 00:28:59.610
- [May] I have a happy family.
00:28:59.610 --> 00:29:01.390
My mom and dad always around me.
00:29:01.390 --> 00:29:02.950
- [Teacher] You have a happy family.
00:29:02.950 --> 00:29:04.340
Your mom and dad are always around you.
00:29:04.340 --> 00:29:07.280
- Yeah and they care about me.
- And they care about you.
00:29:07.280 --> 00:29:09.070
Everybody else agree?
00:29:09.070 --> 00:29:11.310
- For some strange reason
my parents are still alive,
00:29:11.310 --> 00:29:13.113
and my siblings are smaller than me.
00:29:14.450 --> 00:29:16.070
- [Teacher] For some
strange reason your parents
00:29:16.070 --> 00:29:18.906
are still alive, should
they be dead already?
00:29:18.906 --> 00:29:20.232
- No, I didn't say that.
00:29:20.232 --> 00:29:22.732
I just said for some strange
reason they're alive.
00:29:23.586 --> 00:29:25.640
- [Teacher] Okay?
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:28.730
So, okay, so, you can relate a little bit,
00:29:28.730 --> 00:29:30.180
except what's the difference?
00:29:31.300 --> 00:29:33.363
Your parents are still there, yeah?
00:29:34.630 --> 00:29:38.140
Remember the other day,
when we were talking about
00:29:38.140 --> 00:29:41.040
judging people by how they look?
00:29:41.040 --> 00:29:42.840
What do you notice about their hair?
00:29:44.380 --> 00:29:47.510
Before the end of the book,
I think you will choose
00:29:47.510 --> 00:29:50.157
who you would rather hang out with.
00:29:50.157 --> 00:29:51.574
Socs or Greasers?
00:29:52.871 --> 00:29:53.704
Bohan.
00:29:55.070 --> 00:29:56.863
- I don't know.
(students laugh)
00:29:56.863 --> 00:29:58.767
- [Teacher] Just tell me,
who do you think maybe?
00:29:58.767 --> 00:30:00.944
Socs or greasers?
- Maybe socs.
00:30:00.944 --> 00:30:02.325
- Socs.
- The same.
00:30:02.325 --> 00:30:03.839
- Socs.
- Pday.
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:06.188
- I don't know, probably the socs.
00:30:06.188 --> 00:30:08.752
- Socs.
- Greasers of course greasers.
00:30:08.752 --> 00:30:09.981
- Socs.
- Socs.
00:30:09.981 --> 00:30:11.309
- Socs.
- Socs.
00:30:11.309 --> 00:30:12.838
- Greasers.
- Socs.
00:30:12.838 --> 00:30:14.255
- [Teacher] Socs.
00:30:18.642 --> 00:30:22.808
I don't know, I'm thinking
you're not speaking English.
00:30:22.808 --> 00:30:24.800
- It just bad pronunciation.
00:30:24.800 --> 00:30:27.453
(Bianca laughs)
00:30:27.453 --> 00:30:32.453
- [Teacher] Come on, you know the rules.
00:30:35.528 --> 00:30:39.278
(students speaks in Chinese)
00:30:41.564 --> 00:30:45.629
(student speaks Chinese)
(Harry laughs)
00:30:45.629 --> 00:30:48.046
(horn music)
00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:27.940
- So, gentlemen, put that bit
up, put that bit in the index.
00:31:27.940 --> 00:31:30.440
Three quarters of an inch is
the thickness of your stock.
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:32.193
What is half of three quarters?
00:31:33.290 --> 00:31:36.640
Talked about this, you double
the denominator, right?
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:38.780
Three eighths, right, Harry?
00:31:38.780 --> 00:31:40.150
- I don't know. (chuckles)
00:31:40.150 --> 00:31:42.110
- [Teacher] You're
gonna hold it like this,
00:31:42.110 --> 00:31:44.440
with your hand over the groove,
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:46.447
and work it through the cutter bit.
00:31:46.447 --> 00:31:48.864
(saw buzzes)
00:32:12.809 --> 00:32:13.761
- [Teacher] Okay, ready?
00:32:13.761 --> 00:32:18.761
Five, six, seven, eight.
00:32:19.290 --> 00:32:20.403
Okay, do it again.
00:32:21.350 --> 00:32:22.851
Have you fronted a lift before?
00:32:22.851 --> 00:32:24.196
- No, the first time.
- Okay.
00:32:24.196 --> 00:32:27.547
- [Stella] This is the first
time I've gone to cheerleading.
00:32:27.547 --> 00:32:29.110
- The lift, okay.
00:32:29.110 --> 00:32:32.479
Don't look at the ground, don't
focus on what they're doing.
00:32:32.479 --> 00:32:36.312
Just just focus on what
you're gonna do, okay?
00:32:37.679 --> 00:32:40.117
Ready?
- Five, six, seven, eight.
00:32:40.117 --> 00:32:42.357
One, two.
- Stick it, stick it!
00:32:42.357 --> 00:32:43.903
Good, there you go, cradle!
00:32:43.903 --> 00:32:45.903
Five, six, seven, eight.
00:32:52.624 --> 00:32:55.457
(students laughs)
00:32:57.037 --> 00:33:00.783
- [Teacher] Almost a fourth of
the season, guys, it's done.
00:33:00.783 --> 00:33:04.390
(students chatter)
00:33:04.390 --> 00:33:06.603
Alright, guys, gets the balls together.
00:33:10.940 --> 00:33:13.080
Guys, Harry's in as striker.
00:33:14.060 --> 00:33:15.113
Ben, run, that's you!
00:33:18.207 --> 00:33:19.257
- Shawn, take it out!
00:33:21.980 --> 00:33:22.813
Nice!
00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:29.726
- On this grass, man.
- That's alright.
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:36.439
- [Teacher] That's classy, Josh.
00:33:36.439 --> 00:33:39.106
(hip-hop music)
00:33:50.433 --> 00:33:52.862

(peaceful guitar music)
00:37:01.322 --> 00:37:04.072
(students laugh)
00:37:32.810 --> 00:37:34.950
- [Teacher] Why did Colonel
Shaw's men have to set fire
00:37:34.950 --> 00:37:36.520
to the town?
00:37:36.520 --> 00:37:38.960
- His superior officer told him to do it.
00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:41.600
- [Teacher] Okay, superior
officer told him to do it.
00:37:41.600 --> 00:37:45.410
Colonel Shaw is a colonel,
the other guy is a colonel!
00:37:45.410 --> 00:37:48.500
So why is one colonel able to give
00:37:48.500 --> 00:37:50.290
an order to another colonel?
00:37:50.290 --> 00:37:51.910
He's been a colonel longer.
00:37:51.910 --> 00:37:55.240
So, sort of like, um, Korean, right?
00:37:55.240 --> 00:37:57.413
What's the deal with Korean students here?
00:37:58.790 --> 00:38:02.820
Korean students, do you
have a hierarchy still?
00:38:02.820 --> 00:38:04.403
Is there a one head Korean?
00:38:05.810 --> 00:38:08.710
Is there a head Korean here
at the Academy anymore?
00:38:08.710 --> 00:38:10.926
A boss Korean?
- Um, I don't think so.
00:38:10.926 --> 00:38:12.141
- [Teacher] You don't think so
or you're not gonna tell me?
00:38:12.141 --> 00:38:14.090
- I think before there were.
- Okay, before there was.
00:38:14.090 --> 00:38:15.547
There used to be.
- Yeah.
00:38:15.547 --> 00:38:17.900
- [Teacher] And the deal
with that is, if you're born
00:38:17.900 --> 00:38:21.640
like three minutes before
me, guess who's in charge?
00:38:21.640 --> 00:38:23.700
We used to have a lot
of Japanese students.
00:38:23.700 --> 00:38:25.944
They took respect very seriously.
00:38:25.944 --> 00:38:27.453
Those were the bad old days.
00:38:27.453 --> 00:38:29.160
I don't think it's like
that anymore, right?
00:38:29.160 --> 00:38:30.337
If Kenta doesn't bow to you, are you gonna
00:38:30.337 --> 00:38:32.273
go out in the woods and break his arm?
00:38:33.170 --> 00:38:36.148
Cute little Kenta, no,
right, of course not.
00:38:36.148 --> 00:38:38.954
You're gonna say "Hai"
and he's gonna say "Hai"
00:38:38.954 --> 00:38:41.871
and everything will be good, right?
00:38:49.410 --> 00:38:50.850
- This is the first
year that I've had a lot
00:38:50.850 --> 00:38:52.570
of Asian students in my class.
00:38:52.570 --> 00:38:55.430
A lot of Asian students really
didn't take many art classes,
00:38:55.430 --> 00:38:57.660
certainly not a filmmaking class.
00:38:57.660 --> 00:38:59.640
So, you're making a documentary.
00:38:59.640 --> 00:39:02.870
What's the perceptions
of Asians and Europeans?
00:39:02.870 --> 00:39:06.092
Is that what you are
setting out to achieve?
00:39:06.092 --> 00:39:07.562
- [Students] Yeah.
00:39:07.562 --> 00:39:09.350
- So, what are you finding out so far?
00:39:09.350 --> 00:39:10.250
- Respectful.
00:39:10.250 --> 00:39:11.160
- Intellectual.
00:39:11.160 --> 00:39:12.400
- Smart.
- Shy.
00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:14.660
- In general, I would say
that the Asian students
00:39:14.660 --> 00:39:16.970
stay friends mainly
with the Asian students.
00:39:16.970 --> 00:39:19.600
- I have seen a few Asians with Americans,
00:39:19.600 --> 00:39:24.360
but it's more they feel more
comfortable with themselves.
00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:26.210
- [Student] But, you know,
everyone goes into the woods
00:39:26.210 --> 00:39:27.443
to smoke anyway, so.
00:39:30.990 --> 00:39:33.290
- [Student] Everyone, they're
all usually working really,
00:39:33.290 --> 00:39:36.950
really hard, I think that's
the biggest difference, but,
00:39:36.950 --> 00:39:39.900
you know, everyone goes into
the woods to smoke anyway, so.
00:39:54.803 --> 00:39:56.774
- [Student] Felt really bad
actually, I felt really bad
00:39:56.774 --> 00:39:58.740
for them because I knew if
I went to a foreign school,
00:39:58.740 --> 00:39:59.803
I'd be terrified.
00:40:03.890 --> 00:40:05.940
- [Teacher] Is any of this true?
00:40:05.940 --> 00:40:07.220
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
00:40:07.220 --> 00:40:09.860
- [Teacher] Which is true,
are you hard-working?
00:40:09.860 --> 00:40:10.973
- Kinda.
00:40:10.973 --> 00:40:13.500
- [Teacher] Just you or
all Asians? (chuckles)
00:40:13.500 --> 00:40:15.198
- I think--
- Most of, most.
00:40:15.198 --> 00:40:16.270
- I think all of them are true.
00:40:17.769 --> 00:40:20.547
But that's not what we are trying to get.
00:40:20.547 --> 00:40:22.100
- [Teacher] What're you
trying to get at, okay?
00:40:22.100 --> 00:40:23.760
So, this is the answers
you've gotten so far.
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:25.057
So, what're you trying to get?
00:40:25.057 --> 00:40:29.450
- The thing they talk to us
about, from their personal mind.
00:40:30.370 --> 00:40:34.370
- So, you think that what
they're saying is not personal?
00:40:34.370 --> 00:40:39.370
- Maybe they think like, Asian
is too, it's kind of strange,
00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:44.600
and when they talk to you,
they don't look at your eyes.
00:40:44.600 --> 00:40:47.960
- Why is that?
- 'Cause we are nervous.
00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:50.570
- Back in China, everybody
takes the same class,
00:40:50.570 --> 00:40:53.653
and everybody is doing the same test,
00:40:54.510 --> 00:40:58.550
so people cannot figure
out what they really like
00:40:58.550 --> 00:41:00.173
or who they really are.
00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:04.540
- Everyone is the same, yeah.
- Which is stupid.
00:41:04.540 --> 00:41:07.330
- If I live in a little town,
I live in Fryeburg Maine,
00:41:07.330 --> 00:41:09.917
I've never seen Asians
except, you know, in Fryeburg.
00:41:09.917 --> 00:41:13.926
You come to school here, and
they all talk to each other.
00:41:13.926 --> 00:41:16.710
- Even if a Chinese and a
Korean sit next together,
00:41:16.710 --> 00:41:18.537
they won't talk to each other.
00:41:18.537 --> 00:41:22.486
They would like to talk with
others in their own language.
00:41:22.486 --> 00:41:23.736
- We're afraid.
00:41:24.750 --> 00:41:25.750
- [Teacher] Of what?
00:41:28.170 --> 00:41:29.910
- Making mistake?
00:41:29.910 --> 00:41:31.133
- [Teacher] Making mistake?
00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:37.710
I'm glad you're in my class,
'cause you've taught me a lot.
00:41:44.013 --> 00:41:47.431
- Study hall, guys, let's open
your doors, prop 'em open!
00:41:47.431 --> 00:41:48.264
Library.
00:41:50.130 --> 00:41:50.963
There you go, here's your pass.
00:41:50.963 --> 00:41:53.500
- Thanks, thank you.
- You're welcome.
00:41:53.500 --> 00:41:57.360
You guys need to get your shoes
out of the hallway, please.
00:41:57.360 --> 00:41:58.880
Study hall, let's go, guys!
00:41:58.880 --> 00:42:00.683
Guys, let's open up!
00:42:02.060 --> 00:42:03.463
You must have work to do.
00:42:05.429 --> 00:42:06.929
I'm not sure who I've seen
00:42:06.929 --> 00:42:09.110
and who I haven't seen at this point.
00:42:09.110 --> 00:42:12.070
But for some reason, I can't
keep you guys straight.
00:42:12.070 --> 00:42:14.360
I can always keep Johnny straight.
00:42:14.360 --> 00:42:16.524
- Why? (laughs)
00:42:16.524 --> 00:42:17.490
Why they?
00:42:17.490 --> 00:42:19.493
- [Teacher] Why can I not keep
you straight, I don't know.
00:42:19.493 --> 00:42:21.360
It's a mental block, you know?
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:24.060
If you ever called me
something besides Miss Gibson,
00:42:24.060 --> 00:42:26.170
it's just a mental block.
00:42:26.170 --> 00:42:28.910
Actually, I really shouldn't
mix you up anymore.
00:42:31.683 --> 00:42:34.766
(bright piano music)
00:42:58.710 --> 00:43:00.290
- When the Egyptian revolution happened,
00:43:00.290 --> 00:43:02.500
they used this same symbol.
00:43:02.500 --> 00:43:05.090
Does that have meaning for you in China?
00:43:05.090 --> 00:43:08.067
If somebody did this, what
would you think it means?
00:43:08.067 --> 00:43:11.400
- On the bus.
- On the bus! (laughs)
00:43:11.400 --> 00:43:13.290
Riding the bus. (laughs)
00:43:13.290 --> 00:43:14.842
That's great.
00:43:14.842 --> 00:43:16.790
- [Student] Maybe it means unite.
00:43:16.790 --> 00:43:19.890
- Maybe it means uniting
together, okay, right, yeah.
00:43:19.890 --> 00:43:22.390
In America, I think it has
a kind of angry feeling
00:43:22.390 --> 00:43:23.800
to do this.
00:43:23.800 --> 00:43:26.065
If there's a lot of people doing it, yeah,
00:43:26.065 --> 00:43:31.065
it has that kind of power.
00:43:39.467 --> 00:43:42.740
- [Teacher] Gandhi used the
system of get the news out
00:43:42.740 --> 00:43:45.130
and share it with the world
and people will change.
00:43:45.130 --> 00:43:48.330
I'm especially looking for
stories of nonviolent actions
00:43:48.330 --> 00:43:49.263
people did there.
00:43:55.270 --> 00:43:56.363
- Tank Man?
- Yeah.
00:43:58.280 --> 00:43:59.610
- [Teacher] What do you
think we should tell
00:43:59.610 --> 00:44:00.820
about this story?
00:44:00.820 --> 00:44:03.493
What did he do, what was the response?
00:44:04.701 --> 00:44:09.701
- [Reporter] Heading down the
road was a hazardous business.
00:44:30.130 --> 00:44:32.450
- [Teacher] You think he
did it as a news stunt.
00:44:32.450 --> 00:44:35.097
So, he told somebody, "Okay, film me.
00:44:35.097 --> 00:44:36.950
"I'm gonna go down and stop the tanks."
00:44:36.950 --> 00:44:38.713
- Yeah.
- Interesting.
00:44:40.099 --> 00:44:41.780
- [Reporter] Casualties
were arriving every--
00:44:41.780 --> 00:44:43.663
- [Teacher] Do we know
who those people are?
00:44:48.627 --> 00:44:50.710
- Students, maybe?
- Yeah.
00:44:54.610 --> 00:44:56.960
- [Reporter] The operating
theater was overflowing.
00:44:56.960 --> 00:44:58.811
Many of the staff in tears.
00:44:58.811 --> 00:45:02.510
- [Teacher] You know what
non-violent actions they did?
00:45:02.510 --> 00:45:04.443
- You mean the students?
- Sure.
00:45:13.740 --> 00:45:16.140
- Okay, a hunger strike,
why would they do that?
00:45:21.607 --> 00:45:23.300
- And did it stop the government?
00:45:23.300 --> 00:45:24.960
Did they get what they wanted changed?
00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:26.440
- No.
00:45:26.440 --> 00:45:31.440
- Uh-huh, so maybe one result
was something they expected,
00:45:31.590 --> 00:45:34.360
they wanted, they got people to join them,
00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:37.093
but another result was unexpected.
00:45:37.093 --> 00:45:39.510
(bell rings)
00:46:21.002 --> 00:46:24.002
(moody piano music)
00:48:40.576 --> 00:48:42.291
- Stella.
- Strong, strong.
00:48:42.291 --> 00:48:44.624
- Cheerleader.
- Cheerleader.
00:48:46.005 --> 00:48:47.885
- Good job.
- Good job.
00:48:47.885 --> 00:48:49.968
- That's good.
- Good job.
00:48:59.014 --> 00:49:00.947
- [Cheerleaders] We love,
we love our football team.
00:49:00.947 --> 00:49:05.780
L-O-V-E, we love, we
love our football team.
00:49:13.156 --> 00:49:17.545
A-T-T-A-C-K, The Raiders are back.
00:49:17.545 --> 00:49:21.696
A-T-T-A-C-K, attack, attack, attack!
00:49:21.696 --> 00:49:24.123
Go, go, bang, bang, win, win, bang, bang.
00:49:24.123 --> 00:49:27.040
Go, bang, win, bang, go, bang, win!
00:49:33.323 --> 00:49:34.900
(spectators applaud)
00:49:34.900 --> 00:49:39.202
Hustle, hustle, score,
score, we want more!
00:49:39.202 --> 00:49:42.785
Hustle, hustle, score,
score, we want more!
00:49:56.332 --> 00:49:58.754
Five, six, seven, eight.
00:49:58.754 --> 00:50:02.171
- Here we go, Raiders!
- Come on, Raiders!
00:50:05.187 --> 00:50:08.270

(moody guitar music)
01:05:26.667 --> 01:05:30.667
- [Student] Oh my god,
hi, I love your new hair!
01:06:08.269 --> 01:06:10.114
- Are you cheering this year?
- No.
01:06:10.114 --> 01:06:12.050
- Oh, how come?
- I don't know.
01:06:12.050 --> 01:06:13.920
I've got too much college stuff.
01:06:13.920 --> 01:06:15.020
- Too much college stuff?
- Yeah.
01:06:15.020 --> 01:06:17.190
- Okay, so, have you thought
01:06:17.190 --> 01:06:19.717
more about the schools on your list?
01:06:19.717 --> 01:06:20.880
- [Stella] Yeah.
01:06:20.880 --> 01:06:23.660
- Are you looking for
teacher certification?
01:06:23.660 --> 01:06:24.740
No?
(Stella chuckles)
01:06:24.740 --> 01:06:26.670
No, now?
- I don't know.
01:06:26.670 --> 01:06:28.673
- That's a shift for you, okay?
01:06:29.550 --> 01:06:31.501
You're interested in business,
01:06:31.501 --> 01:06:34.250
and that's what you told
your parents, correct?
01:06:34.250 --> 01:06:35.280
- Yeah. (laughs)
- Right?
01:06:35.280 --> 01:06:37.590
But I also know that you want to teach.
01:06:37.590 --> 01:06:41.060
And you wanna teach little
people, young people, right?
01:06:41.060 --> 01:06:43.170
- [Stella] They think I can
get double majors, you know?
01:06:43.170 --> 01:06:47.050
But they're not okay if I just
learn education, to teach.
01:06:47.050 --> 01:06:50.470
- [Teacher] Okay and so for
you, is that a conflict for you?
01:06:50.470 --> 01:06:55.010
- My parents pay a lot for me
to come to America, and if I
01:06:55.010 --> 01:06:58.320
just teach, I don't think I can
get the money back for them.
01:06:58.320 --> 01:07:00.993
And I need, get something
for them, you know?
01:07:02.128 --> 01:07:04.980
I don't want just come to
America and just learn the same
01:07:04.980 --> 01:07:07.200
thing in China, be a teacher.
01:07:07.200 --> 01:07:12.200
It's, um, it's my dream,
but it's too common.
01:07:14.470 --> 01:07:17.000
- [Teacher] So for you, you
have this understanding,
01:07:17.000 --> 01:07:19.548
that you will be needing to
take care of your parents?
01:07:19.548 --> 01:07:20.700
- Mm-hm.
01:07:20.700 --> 01:07:23.790
- And you can better do
that, not as a teacher,
01:07:23.790 --> 01:07:25.480
but in the world of business.
01:07:25.480 --> 01:07:26.910
- Yeah.
- That's interesting.
01:07:26.910 --> 01:07:28.510
So, can you do both?
01:07:28.510 --> 01:07:30.363
Can you marry both things?
01:07:31.940 --> 01:07:35.293
- Yeah, I was thinking about, like,
01:07:36.401 --> 01:07:38.833
I wanna be a businessman, businesswoman,
01:07:39.810 --> 01:07:43.573
and when I get older,
maybe I will own a school.
01:07:44.760 --> 01:07:47.921
Kindergarten or something,
when I'm getting old.
01:07:47.921 --> 01:07:49.440
- Right.
01:07:49.440 --> 01:07:51.020
Okay, so while we're here then,
01:07:51.020 --> 01:07:53.770
can you open up your
Penn State application?
01:07:53.770 --> 01:07:58.770
So, okay, well, are your
parents married and together?
01:07:59.670 --> 01:08:01.540
- No, they're not.
- They're not, okay.
01:08:01.540 --> 01:08:03.130
So, who is your guardian?
01:08:03.130 --> 01:08:04.660
- My mom.
- Okay.
01:08:04.660 --> 01:08:06.850
That's been submitted
and payment's submitted,
01:08:06.850 --> 01:08:09.840
you've successfully
submitted your common app
01:08:09.840 --> 01:08:12.677
to Michigan State University.
01:08:12.677 --> 01:08:16.594
(moody guitar and piano music)
01:09:27.405 --> 01:09:31.080
- (chuckles) My topic is Maine blueberry.
01:09:31.080 --> 01:09:34.530
Maine actually the origin
of the blueberry plant.
01:09:34.530 --> 01:09:38.340
Here I have example
like Rolex in the watch.
01:09:38.340 --> 01:09:39.830
When you have this watch,
01:09:39.830 --> 01:09:41.970
it means you are a successful person.
01:09:41.970 --> 01:09:45.940
Just like those famous
thing in watch and cars.
01:09:45.940 --> 01:09:49.942
I want blueberry become
a star in the fruits.
01:09:49.942 --> 01:09:53.040
(students laugh)
01:09:53.040 --> 01:09:57.070
Yeah, how many of you
ate blueberries before?
01:09:57.070 --> 01:09:58.420
Okay, almost everyone.
01:09:58.420 --> 01:10:01.520
How many of you know it is healthy?
01:10:01.520 --> 01:10:02.620
Everyone again.
01:10:02.620 --> 01:10:06.200
How many of you eat it
at least once a week?
01:10:06.200 --> 01:10:08.488
See, there is only two.
(students laugh)
01:10:08.488 --> 01:10:13.488
And how many of you are willing
to eat it more than now?
01:10:13.980 --> 01:10:17.860
Yes, so this is the opportunity we have.
01:10:17.860 --> 01:10:19.430
- Are there many opportunities
01:10:19.430 --> 01:10:21.160
to eat blueberries right now in China?
01:10:21.160 --> 01:10:23.970
- There are blueberries
in the supermarket,
01:10:23.970 --> 01:10:26.157
but it's very expensive,
so I think that's a--
01:10:26.157 --> 01:10:29.046
- So, it's a big market.
- Yeah, it's a big market.
01:10:29.046 --> 01:10:31.963
(students applaud)
01:10:38.390 --> 01:10:39.223
- [Teachers] Read the schools.
01:10:39.223 --> 01:10:41.670
Tell me the schools that you just added.
01:10:41.670 --> 01:10:44.950
- [Harry] Boston University,
Ohio State University.
01:10:44.950 --> 01:10:46.420
- [Teacher] ow you have
Susquehanna on there.
01:10:46.420 --> 01:10:48.640
How did you end up with
that one on your list?
01:10:48.640 --> 01:10:50.910
- [Harry] I heard that some small college
01:10:50.910 --> 01:10:54.180
might have a better elber arts education?
01:10:54.180 --> 01:10:55.780
- [Teacher] Liberal arts, mm-hm.
01:10:57.210 --> 01:10:59.450
What do you like to study?
- I put three.
01:10:59.450 --> 01:11:01.800
- [Teacher] Business,
music, and philosophy, why?
01:11:01.800 --> 01:11:03.993
- Well, it's my interest.
01:11:05.970 --> 01:11:09.621
- Mm-hm, and when did you
become interested in philosophy?
01:11:09.621 --> 01:11:12.610
- Oh, before I came out.
01:11:12.610 --> 01:11:15.160
- Before you came to Fryeburg?
- Mm-hm.
01:11:15.160 --> 01:11:17.510
- And music, studying performance?
01:11:17.510 --> 01:11:19.511
- Maybe composing.
01:11:19.511 --> 01:11:21.070
- Oh.
01:11:21.070 --> 01:11:21.913
- Yeah.
- Okay.
01:11:22.950 --> 01:11:26.670
- Do you want to hear my idea
for the supplemental essay?
01:11:26.670 --> 01:11:28.460
- [Teacher] Sure, yeah, for which school?
01:11:28.460 --> 01:11:30.900
- Wheaton and Boston college.
- Yeah.
01:11:44.045 --> 01:11:47.128
(somber piano music)
01:15:20.705 --> 01:15:24.372
(lively chatter in Chinese)
01:17:25.060 --> 01:17:27.810
- [Chris] In 2015, for us at Fryeburg,
01:17:27.810 --> 01:17:30.563
over half of the international
students are Chinese.
01:17:34.700 --> 01:17:37.823
No school's perfect, no
education system is perfect, but,
01:17:38.680 --> 01:17:41.793
most of them really appreciate
that significant change.
01:17:42.920 --> 01:17:45.940
A whole way of thinking
opens up for that student.
01:17:45.940 --> 01:17:47.193
That's a powerful thing.
01:18:14.337 --> 01:18:16.620
- Who's your date?
- Nicola.
01:18:16.620 --> 01:18:18.250
- Shoot, she's almost as tall as me now.
01:18:18.250 --> 01:18:20.152
- Yeah, look at my heels.
01:18:20.152 --> 01:18:22.533
- Woo!
- Whoa, look at those heels!
01:18:23.640 --> 01:18:25.640
Are you gonna be able to dance in those?
01:19:44.630 --> 01:19:46.547
Where's everybody else?
01:20:06.266 --> 01:20:10.349

- [Student] Everyone's
starting to spread out.
01:24:56.630 --> 01:24:58.617
Hearing everyone, it's sad.
01:24:58.617 --> 01:25:00.613
- [Harry] That's what happen!
01:25:12.690 --> 01:25:14.610
- He was a good student,
he was a good student.
01:25:14.610 --> 01:25:16.460
Okay, good luck, keep in touch, okay?
01:25:17.482 --> 01:25:19.416
- See ya, man.
- What am I gonna do?
01:25:19.416 --> 01:25:21.093
I'm not gonna have my
band partner anymore.
01:25:21.093 --> 01:25:22.350
- There will be others.
01:25:22.350 --> 01:25:24.860
- Yeah but then I'll have
to be partners with Brooke.
01:25:24.860 --> 01:25:26.524
You'll have to come
back, you can't graduate.
01:25:26.524 --> 01:25:28.650
That's the only solution,
you have to come back.
01:25:28.650 --> 01:25:31.935
- There will be new students
coming, remember that?
01:25:31.935 --> 01:25:33.963
- No, no, no, no.
- Oh, okay.
01:25:33.963 --> 01:25:35.142

01:25:35.142 --> 01:25:36.233
- Okay, I will come back
and see you next year.
01:25:36.233 --> 01:25:38.401
- Come back in the fall, good luck.
01:25:38.401 --> 01:25:39.796
- Yeah, you too.
01:25:39.796 --> 01:25:41.879
