NOTE Confidence: 0.861321704615385

00:00:10.350 --> 00:00:11.828
teachers, but to my colleagues,

NOTE Confidence: 0.776803838

00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:13.616
superintendents in the region,

NOTE Confidence: 0.776803838

00:00:13.616 --> 00:00:16.079
she's not going anywhere.

NOTE Confidence: 0.776803838

00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:17.380
Ohh yeah, she is not.

NOTE Confidence: 0.776803838

00:00:17.380 --> 00:00:19.660
She's definitely staying around SA ISD.

NOTE Confidence: 0.776803838

00:00:19.660 --> 00:00:21.360
You heard it from the

NOTE Confidence: 0.776803838

00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:22.040
Superintendent himself.

NOTE Confidence: 0.776803838

00:00:22.040 --> 00:00:23.528
Out of 3500 teachers.

NOTE Confidence: 0.776803838

00:00:23.528 --> 00:00:25.388
The San Antonio Independent School

NOTE Confidence: 0.776803838

00:00:25.388 --> 00:00:26.791
District nominated Tilly Sanchez

NOTE Confidence: 0.776803838

00:00:26.791 --> 00:00:28.735
for the Kids 5 Excel award.

NOTE Confidence: 0.776803838

00:00:28.740 --> 00:00:31.218
Her students told me she's just a

NOTE Confidence: 0.776803838

00:00:31.218 --> 00:00:33.559
good human being with a big heart,

NOTE Confidence: 0.776803838

00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:34.900
one they will never forget.

NOTE Confidence: 0.802137595

00:00:36.820 --> 00:00:38.068
Ready. We gotta do

NOTE Confidence: 0.73587581

00:00:38.080 --> 00:00:40.050
our lesson here at post

NOTE Confidence: 0.73587581

00:00:40.050 --> 00:00:41.626
term dual language middle.

NOTE Confidence: 0.767752997777778

00:00:41.940 --> 00:00:44.754
They just moved me up from East

NOTE Confidence: 0.767752997777778

00:00:44.754 --> 00:00:48.200
because I flunked 2 years of school. 14

NOTE Confidence: 0.889918926923077

00:00:48.210 --> 00:00:50.709
year old Damian Chavez says he has

NOTE Confidence: 0.889918926923077

00:00:50.709 --> 00:00:52.759
challenges like many of these kids,

NOTE Confidence: 0.889918926923077

00:00:52.760 --> 00:00:54.820
some personal, some at school.

NOTE Confidence: 0.889918926923077

00:00:54.820 --> 00:00:56.310
So this morning's Tiger time

NOTE Confidence: 0.889918926923077

00:00:56.310 --> 00:00:57.800
lesson is on self worth.

NOTE Confidence: 0.889918926923077

00:00:57.800 --> 00:00:59.110
But there was one person,

NOTE Confidence: 0.690566912

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:01.200
it's like Spiderman senses

NOTE Confidence: 0.690566912

00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.290
who always has his back.

NOTE Confidence: 0.690566912

00:01:03.290 --> 00:01:04.740
Somehow she's going to find

NOTE Confidence: 0.690566912

00:01:04.740 --> 00:01:05.900
out about your struggles.

NOTE Confidence: 0.690566912

00:01:05.900 --> 00:01:07.398
And then help you with that Tilly

NOTE Confidence: 0.89205783

00:01:07.410 --> 00:01:09.290
Sanchez. Somewhere along the line,

NOTE Confidence: 0.89205783

00:01:09.290 --> 00:01:12.097
they were either held behind a grade

NOTE Confidence: 0.89205783

00:01:12.097 --> 00:01:15.027
or they missed out a year somewhere.

NOTE Confidence: 0.89205783

00:01:15.030 --> 00:01:17.010
Some view it as a setback,

NOTE Confidence: 0.89205783

00:01:17.010 --> 00:01:20.066
but Sanchez sees the sky is the limit.

NOTE Confidence: 0.89205783

00:01:20.070 --> 00:01:22.054
I just tell him they could do whatever

NOTE Confidence: 0.942052665833333

00:01:22.190 --> 00:01:23.822
they want to do. They just

NOTE Confidence: 0.942052665833333

00:01:23.822 --> 00:01:25.559
need to keep in mind that

NOTE Confidence: 0.67163113625

00:01:25.890 --> 00:01:27.578
they can't stop trying

NOTE Confidence: 0.67163113625

00:01:27.578 --> 00:01:29.266
because she never stopped.

NOTE Confidence: 0.67163113625

00:01:29.270 --> 00:01:31.349
So at one point in your life,

NOTE Confidence: 0.67163113625

00:01:31.350 --> 00:01:34.570
you were these kids, yes.

NOTE Confidence: 0.67163113625

00:01:34.570 --> 00:01:36.676
And it's like, yes, growing up,

NOTE Confidence: 0.67163113625

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.870
Sanchez didn't think about college,

NOTE Confidence: 0.88433632

00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:41.056
but since I got a last minute scholarship,

NOTE Confidence: 0.88433632

00:01:41.060 --> 00:01:43.636
my dad was super excited that I was.

NOTE Confidence: 0.88433632

00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:44.260
He was like, oh,

NOTE Confidence: 0.88433632

00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:45.190
you're going to go to college.

NOTE Confidence: 0.88433632

00:01:45.190 --> 00:01:46.317
And I don't want to disappoint him.

NOTE Confidence: 0.88433632

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:46.808
So I was like,

NOTE Confidence: 0.93357713

00:01:46.820 --> 00:01:48.330
yeah, I'm going to college.

NOTE Confidence: 0.93357713

00:01:48.330 --> 00:01:51.193
She went on to become a first

NOTE Confidence: 0.93357713

00:01:51.193 --> 00:01:52.420
generation college graduate.

NOTE Confidence: 0.93357713

00:01:52.420 --> 00:01:55.588
But to get here she faced her own troubles.

NOTE Confidence: 0.84353065

00:01:55.660 --> 00:01:58.260
And I did a couple of classes and

NOTE Confidence: 0.84353065

00:01:58.260 --> 00:02:00.014
then I stopped going to class.

NOTE Confidence: 0.84353065

00:02:00.014 --> 00:02:02.046
Probably a good ten years that I was

NOTE Confidence: 0.853600432

00:02:02.060 --> 00:02:03.572
like working, but I would work

NOTE Confidence: 0.853600432

00:02:03.572 --> 00:02:05.795
like 2 jobs and. After 12 years

NOTE Confidence: 0.853600432

00:02:05.795 --> 00:02:07.820
teaching special Ed and now

NOTE Confidence: 0.853600432

00:02:07.820 --> 00:02:09.860
collaborative education, we are so

NOTE Confidence: 0.947940588

00:02:09.930 --> 00:02:12.880
proud, so proud of you. SCID

NOTE Confidence: 0.722713378571428

00:02:12.890 --> 00:02:14.420
Superintendent Jamia Quino

NOTE Confidence: 0.722713378571428

00:02:14.420 --> 00:02:16.460
says she's among the

NOTE Confidence: 0.821004851428571

00:02:16.470 --> 00:02:18.465
best. She knows that we're all different.

NOTE Confidence: 0.821004851428571

00:02:18.470 --> 00:02:20.826
And so that being said, she still helps

NOTE Confidence: 0.821004851428571

00:02:20.826 --> 00:02:22.660
us as much as you can as possible.

NOTE Confidence: 0.91529694

00:02:22.710 --> 00:02:24.135
They just need somebody to

NOTE Confidence: 0.91529694

00:02:24.135 --> 00:02:25.910
listen and to give them hope.

NOTE Confidence: 0.91529694

00:02:25.910 --> 00:02:28.958
Her message where there's a will,

NOTE Confidence: 0.91529694

00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:29.743
there's a way.

NOTE Confidence: 0.91529694

00:02:29.743 --> 00:02:31.048
Even if it's not college,

NOTE Confidence: 0.91529694

00:02:31.050 --> 00:02:32.690
there's there's something out there.

NOTE Confidence: 0.91529694

00:02:32.690 --> 00:02:33.520
So remember,

NOTE Confidence: 0.900980675

00:02:33.530 --> 00:02:34.758
you are good enough.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8143786

00:02:39.320 --> 00:02:41.110
I love her message. Persistence, right?

NOTE Confidence: 0.872247915714286

00:02:41.110 --> 00:02:43.382
Where there's a will, there's a way. Now.

NOTE Confidence: 0.872247915714286

00:02:43.382 --> 00:02:45.558
By the way, Miss Sanchez also received a

NOTE Confidence: 0.872247915714286

00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.255
$1000 check from our partner credit human.
