[03:29.89]It’s a brave kid.
[03:34.03]For wanting to come here.
[03:36.26]For wanting a quality education.
[03:38.70]An education denied him by the poor
[03:40.93]quality of the schools he’s attended.
[03:43.37]I tell you most kids with his background
[03:44.99]Wouldn’t come within two hundred miles of this place.
[03:47.30]Coach Cotton, we understand your interest
[03:49.89]in this young man’s athletic abilities.
[03:52.52]Now, he wouldn’t be able to play sports
[03:54.10]until he got his grades up anyway.
[03:55.54]Forget sports!
[03:57.76]Look at the wall.
[03:59.64]Christian.
[04:00.90]We either take that seriously or we paint over it.
[04:04.68]You don’t admit Michael Oher because of sports,
[04:08.35]You admit him because it’s the right thing to do.
[04:56.93]Class, this is Michael Oher and he’s new here
[04:59.61]So I expect you all to make him feel welcome.
