00:15appreciate you supporting our sponsors. Now let's go ahead and start today's
00:19video. Finn. Finn. 2005 called. They said they want those shoes back. And also let
00:36me know if you want me to spot you some needle and thread for that uh hole.
00:43Finn would you like to solve the problem? I think he would like a new pair of
00:48jeans. Miles how about you solve the problem? Of course Teach. It's 60. That's
00:57correct.
01:01Don't feel bad Finn. It's just a known fact that poor people aren't as bright
01:09as rich people. Nice work. Very good job. Hey Finn. Bet you can't get grades like
01:21this. Finn you're gonna need to work harder and get your grades up. You're
01:31gonna get held back a year.
01:39Whoa Finn. What a coincidence. Your grade is the same amount of money that's in
01:45your family's bank account. Zero.
01:53I'm sorry Finn. There's no money on your account.
01:59Oh Finn. Why don't you hit the gym showers if your shack doesn't have plumbing? Man
02:10you're really making me lose my appetite. Why don't you just take this stupid toy
02:16off? I mean I get this is the closest someone like you would ever get to being
02:22a doctor. But pretending? You just look ridiculous.
02:29Now beat it.
02:33Are you okay? Miss Ruth? I'm sorry. I'll get going.
03:03Shouldn't you be at lunch? Wait right here. Okay?
03:14Here. Go on. Thank you. Thank you so much.
03:22Oh no no. It's okay. And if you want to come back tomorrow during lunch too, it's
03:35okay with me.
03:37You know what's cool about the number three? That's how long this baby takes to
03:54reach 60 miles per hour. And that's also how many cents your shirt cost. Ciao.
04:37Oh hi Finny. Hi Grandma. How you feeling today? Oh I'm fine. Does that mean you
05:01don't have to go through surgery this week? No. I still have to have that done.
05:08Now Fin, don't you worry. I'm gonna be fine. It's gonna take more than a silly
05:16surgery to get me down. Tell me about school. How are your grades? I'd rather
05:25talk about surgery. Everyone at school makes fun of me. They call me dumb.
05:30They're right. I'm stupid. Hush. Don't you ever. Look at me. Don't you ever. Do you
05:41hear me? Don't you ever say that about anyone. Most of all yourself. You are not
05:48stupid. Do you hear me? Then say it back to me. I am not stupid.
05:59I am not stupid. That's right. What do I always tell you? Anything you believe you
06:09can achieve. Do you hear me? Then say it back to me. Anything I believe I can
06:18achieve. Good. I love you sweetie. I love you too Grandma. Who was the first
06:29doctor who performed the first human-to-human heart transplant?
06:36Christian Barnard. Christopher Brenner? Oh so close. The correct answer is
06:47Christian Barnard. Look at the big brain on you. Now I know as we're coming near
06:58the end of the semester some of you are struggling a little bit but we're gonna
07:04have some opportunities for extra credit. We're gonna have a spelling bee, a quiz
07:11competition, and a math tournament. The winners will get extra credit that they
07:18can apply to their report card grades. Too bad there isn't extra credit for losers.
07:23Finn really needs that. Oh hey Finn. Did you pack your lunch? I packed you a
07:38grilled cheese sandwich and I bought you a book. Chained Air. Have you ever heard
07:47of this book? Chained Air? I've read it a couple of times. You read Chained Air?
07:56Well my grandma used to read it to me before bed. Your grandma read you Chained
08:02Air when you were a baby? No. I mean at first it was Dr. Seuss and Go Dog Go.
08:10Then she started to read me Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings and after that she
08:15just read any books she wanted to me and I didn't mind. When I learned to read
08:20I picked up some of the books she read to me and Chained Air was one of them.
08:25Your grandma sounds like an interesting woman.
08:32What's wrong? Well my grandma's sick. I used to read to her but now I just tell
08:44her stories I remember. Can you read me a passage? How about this one?
08:53I just. Finn, can you see the words?
09:05Try these.
09:26Okay, what about these?
09:35Wow, this is amazing. I could read everything. Can I keep these? Of course, as
09:44long as no one comes to claim them, they're yours. Thank you so much, Miss
09:49Ruth. I'm gonna read to my grandma later. Yeah.
09:57I will see you guys later.
10:02What's with the new look? And what are you doing with my glasses? I didn't see
10:12you wearing them yesterday. And I know you're too poor to afford these, so you must have
10:18stolen them.
10:21Hey!
10:25You don't have to be such a jerk, Miles. I wasn't being a jerk. If I was, I would
10:31do this. Hey, those are my only pair. Aw, too bad.
11:01Finn. Where's my grandma?
11:10I'm very sorry.
11:20Finn? What's going on? Finn's gonna be taken into our care. Social services. His
11:29grandmother passed away. Oh, my God. Finn. I'm so sorry. I feel so bad for the poor guy. It's
11:40tough. I mean, after everything he's been through.
11:47Are you ready?
11:51You're gonna get through this. We'll help you, I promise.
12:00How's your homework coming along, Finn?
12:18Welcome! She is ready for you. Enjoy your new family. Finn? There's someone here to
12:38see you. Hey, Finn. Miss Ruth? What are you doing here? Well, I was thinking you could
12:53come and live with me. This is it. It's not big, but it's home. Thank you so much for
13:06this, Miss Ruth. I don't even know what to say. It's been a long time since I've
13:13been in a home. Then, where did you sleep? Things haven't been easy. You see, my mom
13:26and dad were the most amazing people.
13:31We talked, played games. I loved being with them.
13:40One night, after we went to the movies, we were going home. Then, out of nowhere, a
13:49drunk driver. He... He... I woke up, didn't know where I was. I thought I might be dead.
14:04But it turns out that I made it. But when I asked about my parents, the surgeon told
14:15me they weren't so lucky. I lost them that day. I moved in with my grandma after that.
14:35I missed my parents so much. But grandma somehow found a way to make me feel like... Well,
14:47like everything was going to be okay. And for a while, things were. But then, you know
15:00what happened. Sorry. It's just, I don't even know what the point of believing anything
15:06anymore is. Oh, Finn. You can't say that. You can never stop believing. Let me ask you
15:19this. What do you want to do when you get older? Like, what's your dream? I wanted to
15:24be a surgeon. To save lives. To help people avoid what happened to my family. But that's
15:32never going to happen. I'm too dumb. And it'll never work. You're right. If that's what you
15:47believe, Finn. Because as the saying goes, what you believe, you achieve. So if you believe
15:56you're never going to make it, you won't. But if you believe, I mean, really believe,
16:07you'll never stop trying. Is that a smile that I see? My grandma used to say that to me.
16:16Used to say what? Whatever you believe, you can achieve. That didn't sound very convincing.
16:25Say it again. Whatever you believe, you can achieve. I'm still not convinced. I'm so hard
16:35of hearing. I can't try it one more time. Whatever you believe, you can achieve. There you go. My
16:45grandma used to make me repeat that stuff all the time, too. Okay, so we both thought the same. And
16:54we both believed in you. So you need to believe in you, Finn. You are not dumb. Yeah, I am. I
17:04get bad grades. You don't know. Getting bad grades and being dumb is not the same thing. I want you
17:14to choose a book to read. But I keep- It's okay. You can wear those until we get you your own pair.
17:34You wrote a book? Ah, it's not published, but yes. Well, when are you gonna publish it? One
17:48dream at a time, Finn. You first. Okay, who can solve the problem? Miles. Obviously, it's 12
18:16fifteenths. Almost. Almost. Now, remember, it's five times parentheses, three X plus five, end
18:30parentheses equals 17. I know. I know this is a tough one. Anyone else want to give it a shot?
18:39Finn, you want to give it a try? X equals negative eight fifteenths? That's absolutely
18:52correct. Well done. Impressive. Wait, no, hold up. How did you do the problem? Why don't you show us
19:06all how to do it on the board? I can't. I forgot. Forgot what? How to do the problem? Are you
19:19cheating? No, I'm not. Then prove it. Okay, that's a good idea. Finn, why don't you show everyone how
19:30to do the problem? Come on. Come on, Finn. Here you go. See, I told you. He's cheating.
20:00He's cheating. Are you cheating, Finn? If you are, I've got tutoring. I just can't see the board.
20:09The only reason why I could answer the problem was because you read it out loud.
20:13Five times parentheses, three X plus five, end parentheses equals 17. Then, after multiplying
20:20the five, it's basically just 15 X plus 25, which equals 17. You then subtract 17 from 25,
20:27which is negative eight. Divide that by 15, and X equals negative eight fifteenths. Bravo, Finn.
20:36Bravo. That's what's been holding you back this entire time?
20:57I've got a mission, intuition, calling where you are, but I got a feeling.
21:16I've been pacing, trying patience. It's time to take a chance on what I believe in.
21:25I think we should take a walk on the moon. We could chase down a shooting star,
21:31or maybe do what you're waiting for. We've got nothing to lose, do you believe? Come with me.
21:55You've seen enough of this, now we can turn it all around.
22:06We have to move fast. He's in critical condition. Well, we can't risk operating on him. He might
22:25not have insurance. Who's going to pay for it? He might die then. Well, that's a risk we have
22:29to take. Otherwise, who's going to pay for it? I'll do it. I can live with paying for someone
22:33without insurance. What I can't live with is losing someone we could have saved.
22:36Besides, he's someone's family.
22:43Good news. He's going to make it. Oh, thanks.
22:46He's not going to be running any marathons anytime soon, but he's okay.
22:50Thank you. He's going to make it. This nice doctor here is the one who saved him.
22:57Finn? It's me, Miles, from school.
23:13You're the surgeon who operated on my dad? Wow, what a small world. So that's your dad?
23:22Well, everything went fine. We're just glad that we got him when we did.
23:28Thank you. Thank you so much. I'm not sure if you know, but my dad, he doesn't have insurance,
23:43and I'm not sure we're in a position to... It's okay. I wouldn't worry about it. I operated on
23:49him knowing he wouldn't be able to pay. You did? What? Why?
24:20Because I know what it's like to lose a loved one. That's why I do anything I can to help those,
24:29to make sure they don't go through what I did. It's one of the reasons why I became a surgeon
24:35in the first place, even if it means losing money. I have another surgery. I'm sorry.
24:46Take care of your father.
24:53Wait. Thank you. Thank you so much.
25:06I am so sorry for how I... for how... It's okay.
25:14It's all behind us, right?
25:28My grandma was full of spirit. She really believed in me, and she lived by a motto.
25:35If you can believe it, you can achieve it. She imparted that to me, and so you see,
25:42that's why I've named this scholarship after her, so that underprivileged kids,
25:49just like I used to be a long time ago, might actually have a chance to make their dreams
25:55come true, just like I did, by living that motto. And that said, this year's winner is Gerard Hines.
26:15Thank you, sir. I really appreciate it. I just hope I don't let you down.
26:21Hey, why would you say that? I... Well, I want to be a surgeon,
26:27but I don't know if I have what it takes. I don't know if I can make it happen.
26:32Do you remember my grandma's motto? I know, but...
26:35Nuh-uh. No buts. Say it back to me. If you can believe it, you can achieve it.
26:43That didn't sound very convincing. Come on, try again.
26:46If you can believe it, you can achieve it. That's right. Now go get it. Congratulations.
26:53Thank you.
27:03I'm so proud of you. Well, I wouldn't be here without you,
27:08which is why I have a little surprise for you.
27:17Oh, is this my book?
27:25Oh, who published it?
27:30You helped me achieve my dreams, and so it's only right that I help you achieve yours.
27:37And it's already selling online and getting great reviews.
27:46Thank you.
27:55This came for you.
28:03Oh.
28:09You've inspired me to be a better man. Thank you, your friend, Miles.
28:33Thank you.
