930 717.4139like a neighborhood that718.4575 
932 718.5544would be close to the center of the city,720.8177

1133 903.1618Um,903.5991 
1135 903.7791right in our neighborhood, we had, um-906.0909 
1137 906.2121you know, we used to have-907.0012

1166 931.7527um, to that degree, I think that933.4438 
1168 933.7240the nineteenth ward has934.9805 
1170 935.3658stayed kind of constant in that936.6436 
1172 937.2274another thing that I noticed in the nineteenth ward, when I,939.2973

1206 960.4084um-960.7854 
1208 961.6129but I see white people stepping up to those positions,964.4557

1308 1045.3456like /RD-NAME-3/ and I1046.3785

1493 1199.7047they shut that down when I was a kid.1201.4874

1497 1202.9104and,1203.5817 
1499 1203.7050you know, people in the neighborhood were like, what1205.2831 
1501 1205.4589the hell? You know, like,1206.3240

1505 1207.1149now have nothing here1208.1833 
1507 1208.6990and fought to get th- you know, to get anything. And we were given the /RD-WORK-3/, which is1213.1102 
1509 1213.5971one floor, has a very- you know, like very small gym, very small dance space,1217.7699

1519 1224.6672just- it has almost nothing. It-1225.9838 
1521 1226.3785I feel it was made1227.6455 
1523 1227.8610to fail,1228.4543 
1525 1228.6623um,1229.0476 
1527 1229.5322and they didn't realize that,1230.4493 
1529 1230.6364you know, people wanted it.1231.6103 
1531 1231.7545And so,1232.4022 
1533 1232.5180we- you know, it still maintains membership,1234.6316 
1535 1234.7545um,1235.1161 
1537 1235.8914you know, f-1236.1893 
1539 1236.2555for it to have existed for as long as it has,1237.9493 
1541 1238.5194um,1238.8314 
1543 1238.9921even with like how little,1240.2804

1547 1240.8476that it offers.1241.4957

1551 1243.0653I-1243.1890 
1553 1243.2540so I worked when I came back from school- I worked at the /RD-WORK-1/ in, um-1246.7805 
1555 1247.4045in their like, uh, childcare programming. And,1249.7450 
1557 1250.3762um,1250.9435 
1559 1252.4921while I was there, there were talks of-1254.8303 
1561 1255.4307so it's k- the /RD-WORK-6/.1257.2200 
1563 1257.7570And there were talks of1258.7498 
1565 1259.0381putting that at1259.8962 
1567 1260.2082College Town.1260.9295

1571 1262.6267um,1263.0829 
1573 1263.4946th- it was very frustrating cause1265.2296 
1575 1265.6102like the reason that that1266.6195 
1577 1267.0359shitty /RD-WORK-1/ existed was (laughing)1269.0333 
1579 1269.6530for the people in that neighborhood. If it were moved to College Town, it would1273.0997 
1581 1273.2581not- you know, it wouldn't be for those neighbors. It would be for these students who1277.2769 
1583 1277.7071are now coming and taking up space in this neighborhood.1280.2060 
1585 1280.6622Um, so that's like, you know, just one1282.6576 
1587 1282.9105of many things that I've noticed. Um,1284.7069 
1589 1285.3810o-1285.5063 
1591 1285.6079our street,1286.3237 
1593 1286.4542um, because it is one of those like,1287.9811 
1595 1288.0438you know, safer feeling pockets, um,1290.0826 
1597 1290.4088I feel like we tend- and1291.5340 
1599 1291.9925w- we-1292.3778 
1601 1292.4511k- we have for years had1294.1912 
1603 1294.3496college students living,1295.4558 
1605 1295.5622um, on our street. And,1296.5010 
1607 1296.8201you know, we have a neighbor across the street who passed away, and his house then became one of these1300.7987 
1609 1301.0894houses, um,1302.0755 
1611 1302.3946where college students live.1303.3258 
1613 1303.6148But, you know, it-1304.1013 
1615 1304.2833it j- um,1304.9664 
1617 1306.1834<ts>1306.2572 
1619 1306.5245when those opportunities come, when a house opens up1308.5654 
1621 1308.6499that1308.8958 
1623 1309.0547is an oppontunity for a landlord to come in and-1310.8908 
1625 1311.2954and make money o-1311.9879 
1627 1312.0943um, you know,1312.7065 
1629 1312.8673off of that,1313.3305 
1631 1313.5646versus like families coming in and living there,1315.9618 
1633 1316.1344uh,1316.3944 
1635 1316.5078you know, for years.1317.2575 
1637 1317.9147Um,1318.3070 
1639 1319.1060So /I/ see that a lot,1320.2055 
1641 1320.6003um,1320.9738 
1643 1321.1841but, you know, there's, um-1322.4346

1647 1323.9251over on Plymouth. That was one of the ones that really1326.2231 
1649 1326.3696shocked me cause Plymouth is the hood, you know.1328.1405 
1651 1328.6700And a-1329.2609

3995ROC_int_013368.4799your profession,3369.4324
3997 3369.8615and, uh,3370.5659 
3999 3371.4121also y- a-3372.1685 
4001 3372.5428why you- I wanted to ask a little bit- go back to the college experience, why you chose, uh, /RD-SCHOOL-2/.3377.8990 
4002ROC_se0_ag2_f_013378.0424Okay.3378.3568
4004 3378.5624Yeah.3378.7894 
4006 3379.5367So, um, when I was in high school, um,3381.7965 
4008 3382.5391I've always hated school,3383.8226 
4010 3384.1630um,3384.6759 
4012 3385.8204it-3385.9244 
4014 3386.7422just the way that it's set up has never felt right to me. Um,3390.0259 
4016 3390.1890w-3390.3355 
4018 3390.5104in the fourth grade, I had a truant officer3392.8131 
4020 3393.0070because I refused- so I- I was in-3394.9693 
4022 3395.5011this is also gonna be a very convoluted story, but, um,3397.7944 
4024 3398.1607so first, second, and third grade, I was in, um,3400.5198 
4026 3400.6785a program where we were,3401.9857 
4028 3402.0944you know I was with the same3403.0659 
4030 3403.2294group of kids for three years. I had the same two teachers.3406.0045 
4032 3406.5178Um,3407.0095 
4034 3407.5602i- I don't know, it just felt more like family-like. Um, I really liked the teacher- my main teacher that I had.3412.0806 
4036 3412.1551And, um,3412.6916 
4038 3413.1050you know, I- I liked3414.2235 
4040 3414.3511the- the kids that I was with. I was kind of like a-3416.4123 
4042 3416.7101a little timid, and so I was able to like3418.4266 
4044 3419.0979grow and get to know these people. And then3420.7175 
4046 3420.8735fourth grade,3421.6559 
4048 3422.2137it was a major shift for me.3423.6371 
4050 3424.2304And, um-3424.9041 
4052 3426.1313but it was one of those like3427.3061 
4054 3427.9986I didn't know p- everybody kept asking, like why won't you go to school?3430.9898 
4056 3431.0554Um, you know, I- I had to be dragged into school3433.5079 
4058 3433.6384on many occasions. I would like lock myself in the bathroom.3436.4087 
4060 3436.9858Um,3437.3664 
4062 3437.4964and, you know, they both were working, so3439.4772 
4064 3439.7424they had to leave3440.7304 
4066 3440.9006and just leave me in there.3442.0305 
4068 3442.6549And so finally, like, you know, I ended up with a truant officer who was3445.5387 
4070 3445.7376ensuring that I w-3446.7068 
4072 3446.8061um,3447.0992 
4074 3447.1913you know,3447.5057 
4076 3447.7799was getting to school, and still3449.0000 
4078 3449.0709i- it was just the whole year was really a struggle.3450.8839 
4080 3451.3921And they kept asking, like what's going on? And3453.4348 
4082 3453.5743I really didn't have words for it at that age.3455.4964 
4084 3455.6524Um,3456.0495 
4086 3456.5790but I mean, looking back, I just really don't3458.8462 
4088 3459.0542think that the way that schools3460.4181 
4090 3460.6833are operated really3461.6902 
4092 3461.9431has ever been my thing. So3463.4583 
4094 3463.7164I d- start- you know, I started going to school, but,3465.6215 
4096 3465.7255um,3466.0399 
4098 3467.3877it's weird. I- I know that I'm smart because3469.9827 
4100 3471.0961if I wasn't, I j- you know, like, the way that I am with school. I, um- I hated doing homework.3475.4013 
4102 3475.8197So,3476.2617 
4104 3476.5643um,3476.9874 
4106 3477.8468<ts>3477.8849 
4108 3477.9356just never really worked3478.8126 
4110 3479.0631that w-3479.3610 
4112 3479.5004well. I would just kind of get by, um, where3481.8788 
4114 3482.5193if I would've ever applied myself, I-3483.9616 
4116 3484.0893I probably woulda been a really good student.3485.4933 
4118 3485.9874Um, but I just never wanted to. <laugh> Um,3488.1506 
4120 3488.4508so when I was in3489.3041 
4122 3489.5570high school, um,3490.6920 
4124 3491.1364I- I had always been3492.1150 
4126 3492.2592good at math,3493.0349 
4128 3493.2807um,3493.7086 
4130 3494.2924and3495.0701 
4132 3495.3443so I wanted to be a math teacher,3496.9237 
4134 3497.0159um,3497.4012 
4136 3497.6753you know, wanted to be able to teach3499.4722 
4138 3500.3137people in a way-3501.4199 
4140 3502.6801I felt like I was a different learner, so- and I felt like that would be beneficial for students.3506.2026 
4142 3506.8172<clears throat>3507.0774 
4144 3507.1334And, um,3507.7130 
4146 3508.6755so-3509.4768 
4148 3510.3656so that was my plan. Um, I went to my guidance counselor3513.2805 
4150 3513.9640and3514.6377 
4152 3515.0277he told me s-3516.0985

4172 3530.9117Um,3531.4034 
4174 3532.0042I- i- I don't think that was really great advice, you know. (laughing) But-3534.4956 
4176 3534.7584but he was right.3535.3885 
4178 3535.4511He-3535.6944 
4180 3535.7937luckily he was right,3536.9149 
4182 3536.9988and he really- he helped me,3538.4543 
4184 3538.5772um, you know, with writing my,3539.7689 
4186 3540.2606my letter to get into /RD-SCHOOL-2/.3541.5512 
4188 3541.9199Um, but I mean, that was really like, what if I didn't? You know, that woulda really sucked. He only told me to (laughing) apply to two schools.3546.9201 
4190 3547.4070Um,3547.8467 
4192 3548.0547but yeah, luckily I did get into /RD-SCHOOL-2/, and he was very right.3551.2485 
4194 3551.4309Um, /RD-SCHOOL-2/ is a,3552.9697 
4196 3554.7382um,3555.3551 
4198 3556.2108i- has like this kind of hippyish vibe, very artsy.3559.7396 
4200 3559.8123Um,3560.3553 
4202 3561.1535and, uh, i-3562.2219 
4204 3562.7613like (breathy)3563.2766 
4206 3563.7730I got involved with like activism3566.1702 
4208 3566.3049while I was there.3566.9361 
4210 3567.2670So when I first got there, um, you know, like I said, having come from this3570.7303 
4212 3571.0403somewhat of a color blindness, um,3573.1464 
4214 3573.8532being in Rochester and not really looking critically at some of the stuff that was going on,3578.4964 
4216 3578.6311um,3579.0070 
4218 3579.5081in my world.3580.2385 
4220 3580.6644Um,3581.0851 
4222 3581.9739I came into/RD-SCHOOL-2/. I- my parents made too much for me to be, um, EOP.3586.0305 
4224 3586.7235Um, but they have this program called /RD-SCHOOL-10/.3590.1371 
4226 3590.3735So it has the mentorship3591.8130 
4228 3591.9217aspect of EOP without any money.3593.7527 
4230 3593.9989Um,3594.3062 
4232 3594.7033so <clears throat> they, um, would house /RD-SCHOOL-3/ students3598.3155 
4234 3598.7079in the two oldest dorms,3600.4953 
4236 3600.6631um,3601.0886 
4238 3601.3604on campus3602.0104 
4240 3602.8165which if you look at it, it's like put all the3604.3793 
4242 3604.8544people of color in like the two oldest dorms. (laughing)3606.8451 
4244 3607.2162It l- can seem kind of bad, but those dorms had the most history,3609.9302 
4246 3610.3321um, and it was really beautiful, like3612.1882 
4248 3612.2615living in the space that3613.4124 
4250 3614.1270the white people wouldn't3615.1587 
4252 3615.2208necessarily flock to. (laughing) You know, there were like3616.9487 
4254 3617.1114two brand new dorms on campus where like a lot of,3619.8656 
4256 3620.0736you know, more well off students,3621.2251 
4258 3621.6790they would just pay the extra money to live in those two new dorms.3623.6247 
4260 3623.8564So it was really actually very nice. Um,3625.7616 
4262 3625.9317you know, living with like black, Puerto Rican, Dominican, like3628.0629 
4264 3628.1391um-3628.4651 
4266 3628.6022<clears throat>3628.8159 
4268 3629.1553and3629.6919 
4270 3630.0063in the basement of3631.0467 
4272 3631.4769the dorm that I lived in, the- the oldest one,3633.3821 
4274 3634.1986<ts>3634.2524

4280 3636.8574Um, you know, like y-3637.6897 
4282 3637.7582there was a lot of like3638.8006 
4284 3638.9013black history in- in that building. And so3641.2248 
4286 3641.5846that was really awesome.3642.6553 
4288 3642.9248And, um,3643.5701 
4290 3644.4876so I lived, (breathy)3645.6222 
4292 3645.7948um, there and3646.8916 
4294 3647.0925there were a couple3648.2015 
4296 3648.5797of- like there were some black studies classes that I had to take.3650.8966 
4298 3651.1424They were-3651.5853 
4300 3651.6671they were sp- specific to /RD-SCHOOL-7/,3653.7668 
4302 3653.9654but they were,3654.4977

4306 3655.5873through the black studies department.3657.0552 
4308 3657.4433So, um,3658.2738

4312 3660.2143a- a mentor, Dr. /RD-NAME-5/, um,3662.4088 
4314 3662.5105was3662.9685

4318 3664.3944Um, and then I also was assigned a student mentor3667.1541 
4320 3667.7086who,3668.2475

4324 3669.3727she was on my soccer team in high school.3671.1175 
4326 3671.2759She saw my name on the list, and she was like, I want her.3673.2890 
4328 3673.3606So, um, that was really awesome. This girl, uh,3675.5027 
4330 3675.9451/RD-NAME-2/ who I like knew from back home, so that was cool.3678.5854

4432 3768.2422this department3768.8792 
4434 3769.0186yet,3769.5103

4442 3774.3661and then I started taking, you know,3775.8411 
4444 3776.1176s-3776.2429 
4446 3776.6235classes that were specifically r-3778.0684 
4448 3778.1438related to black studies. /Um/,3779.7542 
4450 3780.0757you know, one of the- a-3780.8797 
4452 3781.1208some of the more powerful ones for me were, um, like a race and racism class, um, education in the black community.3785.9977 
4454 3786.6032Um, you know, you asked about,3787.5487 
4456 3787.6834uh, integration earlier, and3789.5606 
4458 3789.9837I started like, looking at,3791.4327 
4460 3792.2057um,3792.5937 
4462 3793.4849our education3794.3618 
4464 3794.5556really3795.0166 
4466 3795.6032got worse with integration.3797.1916 
4468 3797.4138W- we used to be educated by our own people.3799.3454 
4470 3799.6621I had an ex-boyfriend who his mom,3801.6623 
4472 3802.0050um,3802.3974 
4474 3802.6858was educated in the South, and then their family moved up north, and,3805.7283 
4476 3806.6715um,3807.1064 
4478 3807.3357the expectations were so much higher3809.5371 
4480 3809.6647on-3810.0859 
4482 3810.3364on-3810.6768 
4484 3810.8446w- you know, when a- a black,3812.1329 
4486 3813.0599uh, educator's expectations on a black student is much higher than somebody who3816.6579 
4488 3817.1425m-3817.2867 
4490 3817.5750may have like3818.4922 
4492 3818.7475preconceived notions about this child already, and like3821.0785 
4494 3821.4236doesn't live in the area where this child is growing up, has3824.1589 
4496 3824.3598preconceived notions about the area that they live in, a- and like what this child can actually accomplish.3828.5988 
4498 3828.9392So like just being able to look at these things-3830.4260 
4500 3830.7309all these things that like,3832.0574 
4502 3832.6767you know, they had been kind of on the peripheral to me growing up,3835.1637 
4504 3836.0170were starting to like, make more sense.3837.8194 
4506 3838.0298And I started to get angry,3838.9445 
4508 3839.0934um, and like,3840.1670 
4510 3840.7178you know, just like3841.2709 
4512 3841.5971pissed off that I-3842.3818 
4514 3842.5520with myself for like not having noticed a lot of these things,3844.9634 
4516 3845.4433and a-3846.1079 
4518 3846.4081also pissed off that this information was kept fr- from me3849.3797 
4520 3849.4719for all this time.3850.1929 
4522 3850.4931Cause I'm in school for3851.6111 
4524 3851.7340twelve years3852.5925 
4526 3853.0487and3853.6396 
4528 3853.9705they left all of this out. I was like, really3856.2851 
4530 3856.4032pissed off. Um,3857.3346 
4532 3857.7506so I bounced around from different majors. Um,3859.9162 
4534 3860.7104I, uh,3861.5003 
4536 3861.6327you know, taking calculus my first semester3864.1541 
4538 3864.3939and hating school.3865.4080 
4540 3865.9824Um, I had gotten by because like teachers liked me,3868.7130 
4544 3869.4527and3870.0437   
4546 3870.4814saw my potential. They knew that I got the information.3873.2876 
4548 3874.0369Um,3874.4647 
4550 3875.6537so I- I g- I got a lot of help, um, along the way.3878.6513 
4552 3879.0937But in college nobody's gonna do that. Um, you need to do a lot of work outside the classroom. And like3883.0369 
4554 3883.1763pretty much all the work I was doing was in the classroom,3885.0437 
4556 3885.1363um,3885.4199 
4558 3885.6681you know, during my lower schooling.3887.0225 
4560 3888.1032So, um,3889.2543

4568 3895.3441that-3895.7223 
4570 3896.0816that first se- I mean I struggled pretty much throughout the entire time,3898.8334 
4572 3899.2542but3899.5898 
4574 3899.7766when I finally found black studies as like the major that I wanted to do,3902.8262 
4576 3902.9124um,3903.2933 
4578 3904.9814th- there wa- i- was still some struggle3906.6525 
4580 3906.9787because I still had to put in the work.3908.6385 
4582 3909.1349Um,3909.5580 
4584 3909.6360but it was like something that I actually cared about. Finally like I had found something that like3913.0747 
4586 3913.3654I had a passion for.3914.6442 
4588 3914.9278Um,3915.2970 
4590 3915.7225so that definitely helped.3917.4882

4608 3931.7356you know, I had more3932.7496 
4610 3933.0711of an interest in that, and it kind of3934.6906 
4612 3935.2036w- the more I was seeing with black studies the-3937.2057

4826 4117.3792you know, hopefully4118.1001 
4828 4118.4972have people make small changes,4120.1972 
4830 4120.2663um, to help their health.4121.5152 
4832 4121.9264So I really liked doing that. Um, I ended up,4123.9573 
4834 4124.3521um, on unemployment for a while, and that was really awesome,4127.4632 
4836 4127.6097um,4128.0399 
4838 4128.2479cause I wasn't paying rent.4129.2667 
4840 4129.4014You know, living with my parents (laughing) and getting all this free money.4131.7892 
4842 4132.4061Um,4132.9043 
4844 4133.7917so from there4135.5669 
4846 4135.6685I, um-4136.4773 
4848 4139.3899I knew a woman and- and her daughter th- um, her daughter4142.6003

4852 4145.4159and she was looking for someone to work on some life skills4148.6310 
4854 4148.9004with her daughter. And so,4150.3518 
4856 4150.8746um,4151.2788 
4858 4151.4537she4152.1345 
4860 4153.0658was involved with, um,4154.7468 
4862 4155.5788/RD-WORK-2/ Rochester, /RD-WORK-5/ Rochester, but it,4157.6641 
4864 4157.8154um-4158.0943 
4866 4158.2574the agency itself4159.2761 
4868 4159.8699works with people with, uh, s- you know, all,4161.7750 
4870 4162.4487um,4162.8269 
4872 4163.2693different developmental disabilities.4164.8058 
4874 4165.4156And, um,4166.1275 
4876 4166.7326so I came initially just planning on working with this girl, um, to make a little4170.5528 
4878 4170.7254bit of money, and,4171.9691 
4880 4172.1086um,4172.6073 
4882 4173.3117they told me about another program that they had.4174.9043 
4884 4175.1346So I ended up working at /RD-WORK-2/ Rochester for, um,4178.2197 
4886 4178.6853two or three years,4180.1130 
4888 4180.4723um,4180.9195 
4890 4183.1509and that was, um-4184.5813 
4892 4185.4961you know, I had never worked with4186.4723 
4894 4186.7891people with like,4187.3899 
4896 4187.5743you know, different-4188.0706 
4898 4188.2172different abilities, um,4189.5787 
4900 4189.6949in that-4189.9833 
4902 4190.0779to that degree. I was doing a lot of like self care, like, um,4192.6898 
4904 4194.2385uh,4194.7230 
4906 4195.1343like having to4196.0400 
4908 4196.4892like wipe4197.0565 
4910 4197.1794people and shower them and-4198.4794 
4912 4198.5929and4198.8557 
4914 4199.0944never saw myself doing that.4200.5552 
4916 4201.0327Um,4201.3825 
4918 4201.5385and it really wasn't, you know- my job was,4203.5505 
4920 4203.7278um,4204.1083 
4922 4204.3518to help them with life skills4205.6144 
4924 4205.7657but also like,4206.4890 
4926 4206.6190you know,4206.9641 
4928 4207.0941they can't do this themselves so,4208.5813 
4930 4208.6948you know, I was doing some4209.3708 
4932 4209.4607caretaking too.4210.1627 
4934 4210.5929But, um,4211.2433 
4936 4212.2952that was like really4213.4180 
4938 4214.3308eye-opening for me,4215.3803 
4940 4215.5765uh,4216.0776 
4942 4219.3494cause like I said, like4220.2244 
4944 4220.4253I'd-4220.8414 
4946 4220.9572I have always felt like a different learner,4223.0156 
4948 4223.0830and4223.4679 
4950 4223.5884I know this is like-4224.2574 
4952 4224.5316working with them was to a more severe degree. Like some of them couldn't speak at all, and so like4228.5990 
4954 4229.2916having to find other ways to communicate with them, whether it's like, you know,4232.0394 
4956 4232.3081touching with their hands, or, um,4234.5635 
4958 4234.7479you know, like,4235.2443 
4960 4236.1756um, that was really awesome. And I-4237.8306 
4962 4237.9181and I-4238.1899 
4964 4238.3105I felt like I could really relate to them,4239.9986 
4966 4240.1215um, in ways that other people4241.3412 
4968 4241.4736really like detached themselves like4242.7953 
4970 4242.8875that feel very different.4244.0150 
4972 4244.2254Um,4244.5705 
4974 4245.4668I felt like I could like,4246.5825 
4976 4247.5350you know, I- I could relate to them,4248.8379 
4978 4248.9584um,4249.3083 
4980 4249.4099because4249.7432 
4982 4250.5138d-4250.6840 
4984 4250.9218d-4251.1109 
4986 4251.2399despite like4251.9277 
4988 4252.0695ho- you know, like how different4253.4429 
4990 4253.6225their abilities are from mine,4254.9159 
4992 4255.6155I can relate to just like not-4256.8069 
4994 4257.4479not f- quite getting it, you know, and like needing some other form of- uh,4260.8450 
4996 4261.8046of education and care and stuff.4263.4408 
4998 4263.7197So that was really awesome in that4264.9985 
5000 4265.3294I feel like I've like taken a lot of those skills in like4267.7716 
5002 4267.9607other educational capacities that I've worked in.4270.2563 
5004 4270.8141Um, so,4271.5729 
5006 4271.8471um,4272.4043 
5008 4272.8710from /RD-WORK-2/ Rochester, I started working at the /RD-WORK-4/. There I was working with, um,4276.6652 
5010 4277.4972young moms, so sixteen to twenty-one year old, um, either pregnant4280.7549 
5012 4280.9629or parenting, uh, homeless4282.5210 
5014 4282.8614young women.4283.4098 
5016 4284.0314And, um, it was a residential setting, so4286.3223 
5018 4286.6840we had4287.2702 
5020 4287.3533eight beds,4288.1989 
5022 4288.2947and4288.9843 
5024 4289.0853you could either come4290.0251 
5026 4290.1008pregnant4290.5930

5030 4291.2238ha-4291.3396 
5032 4291.4093like having children already.4292.6698 
5034 4293.7386And like all of these4294.9063 
5036 4295.6367girls and children living in a house together, (laughing) it was crazy.4298.8116 
5038 4299.2962Um,4299.8804 
5040 4300.4997h- and I was a life skills, uh- like I worked on life skills with them. So, (breathy) um, helping them find housing, employment, like working on employ-4307.0694 
5042 4307.1734employability skills and stuff.4308.8166 
5044 4309.2303Um, and4309.7857 
5046 4310.2254I feel like the biggest part of my job was like w-4311.9750 
5048 4312.1877working on like4313.0977 
5050 4313.3767relationship4314.1898 
5052 4314.4266skills with other human beings, not just like intimate relationships but4318.2373 
5054 4318.7101like4318.9299 
5056 4319.0788living with4319.8825 
5058 4320.2371all these other4320.8261 
5060 4321.3579hormonal4322.0387 
5062 4322.1308teen girls,4323.0078 
5064 4323.3722um, and like not4324.3603 
5066 4324.5612fighting each other.4325.3152 
5068 4325.7005One of the biggest like w-4326.9750 
5070 4327.1712an example that I use of a success story in that job is like4330.0388 
5072 4330.1452we had this one girl who,4331.2774 
5074 4331.9416um,4332.3222 
5076 4332.4195was4332.7835 
5078 4332.9584a hot head,4333.6415 
5080 4333.7716and, um,4334.5090 
5082 4335.4053she had a daughter who was like under a year old,4337.8636 
5084 4338.4550and she was having issues with one of the girls who was pregnant.4340.7265 
5086 4341.5968And, um,4342.5423 
5088 4342.9890it looked like they were going to get into a fight. She had her daughter4345.5928 
5090 4345.6548like in her arms,4346.5516 
5092 4347.4056and4347.8173 
5094 4347.9851she's like having a disagreement with a4349.5357 
5096 4349.6421pregnant girl.4350.4387 
5098 4350.7956And it looked like they were about to fight. So someone came and did take4353.4458 
5100 4353.5083her daughter out of her arms.4354.8678 
5102 4355.4918Um,4355.9721 
5104 4356.6363and instead of4357.2231 
5106 4357.3046punching this girl in the face, she punched4359.2638 
5108 4359.3961the refrigerator.4360.1884 
5110 4360.9779And like in the past that wouldn't have happened.4362.8500 
5112 4363.2262Uh, you know, like4363.8715 
5114 4364.3679she had been at our program for,4365.9327 
5116 4366.2499you know, like eight months or something at that time.4367.9778 
5118 4368.5120And like, you know,4369.3988 
5120 4369.5737when I say this to other people, it's like,4371.0699 
5122 4371.1645/let's/4371.8760 
5124 4372.0584still so- she- you know, she broke her hand when she4373.9835 
5126 4374.0562punched the refrigerator.4375.3765 
5128 4375.4634Um,4375.8337 
5130 4376.7390but like4377.1479 
5132 4377.9445for her that was4379.0748 
5134 4379.1788big. You know, like she4380.6372 
5136 4380.8287could've had herself arrested. She could've lost her child. You know, like,4383.4741 
5138 4384.0556um,4384.3799 
5140 4384.5311from the consequences <clears throat> of her actions and4386.8736 
5142 4387.7061i-4387.8534 
5144 4387.9149little things like that, I- I have learned to see as progress. And the same thing when I was working with people with, um,4393.1509 
5146 4393.2951developmental disabilities.4394.3970 
5148 4394.8177Um,4395.2786 
5150 4396.2667you know, progress comes in all4397.7991 
5152 4397.8839shapes and forms, and4398.7396 
5154 4398.9719I've learned to like not4400.2488 
5156 4400.7806expect so much.4401.7805 
5158 4402.4068Um, so from that job, from the /RD-WORK-4/. I- I'm in my current position. So I work at a birth-4407.4873 
5160 4407.6126for a birth control clinic, and I do sexual and reproductive4410.0831 
5162 4410.1641health education.4410.8910 
5164 4411.4228So I give the whole gamut because it really doesn't,4414.5345 
5166 4414.8654you know, some p- it doesn't look like4416.3226 
5168 4416.7261the same thing. And the constant for me,4419.0690 
5170 4419.5275um, is4420.4163 
5172 4420.7378being able to-4422.0831 
5174 4422.6717to educate people. Like I, um-4424.2483 
5176 4424.8184it looks very different in different positions, and I don't know like what,4428.2675 
5178 4428.8443you know, the end goal for me4430.2271 
5180 4430.3311is gonna be. And like4431.2321 
5182 4431.6244I- I really can't see4433.0167 
5184 4433.5608how to make all of this experience (laughing) like into a certain position. Um,4436.9862 
5186 4438.0996but I- I like to4439.1680 
5188 4439.2531be able to educate people, um, i-4441.0210 
5190 4441.0860and4441.2887 
5192 4441.4919expand people's,4442.4162 
5194 4443.2250um,4443.6174 
5196 4443.7923understanding of things that they may not have access to. Like just like for me,4446.9199 
5198 4447.5085I was very frustrated4448.5887 
5200 4449.2415to get this education that4450.6479 
5202 4450.7827I had never had access to, and so I- I try to like make the access4454.2176 
5204 4454.6104in the positions that I hold,4455.7048 
5206 4456.1232um,4456.4707 
5208 4456.6361you know, like4457.1160 
5210 4457.4946greater. Cause I- I feel like esp- you know, when I was doing that /RD-WORK-2/ Rochester job,4460.4516 
5212 4460.7097there are a lot of people who were l-4461.6552 
5214 4461.8041who just kind of looked at4462.5699 
5216 4462.7803these people like-4463.5627 
5218 4464.6315like there's no h- hope. You know, like4466.0852 
5220 4466.2058this is just4466.9106 
5222 4467.2368their life, and,4467.9199 
5224 4468.5298you know, I wouldn't want somebody- I wouldn't want that4470.5624 
5226 4470.6812to be it for me, so4471.8337 
5228 4472.7130that's what I- that's what I try to do. So in my current position, um, I really-4475.4254 
5230 4476.4757I have a lot of fun, um,4477.9318 
5232 4480.8865it's- some people get really uncomfortable with like the whole, you know talking about sex. For me,4485.1326 
5234 4485.9363I like to be able to normalize things that seem very taboo,4489.2593 
5236 4489.3799uh, to people. That's-4490.4424 
5238 4490.6315that's been really awesome for me.4491.8559
