SPEAKER_01 4:06

I ain't got nothing to do with that.

SPEAKER_00 4:08

I understand. But it was, you know, it was a beautiful feeling, though. Are you prepared for it? Have you been thinking about it?

SPEAKER_01 4:14

Uh yes. I keep singing the song they sing after we get baptized.

SPEAKER_01 4:22

I know uh I only know a tiny bit of give us a tiny bit of the song. You are baptized.

SPEAKER_00 4:38

SPEAKER_01 4:48

No, I say after.

SPEAKER_00 4:50

I guess. Okay. Well, um, I'm so happy for you. I'm glad that you're excited about it, and I hope that it, you know, becomes a part of you that's more than just going through the process. I hope you, you know, grow up to actually learn what that means and what that uh stands for. How do you feel about church? Like good. You like to go to church?

SPEAKER_01 5:14

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 5:15

How often do you go?

SPEAKER_01 5:17

Uh I used it used to be that uh before we had children church, I used to do, and like the days, first some days, the days we didn't have children church, I would ask my auntie uh if I could spend a night with her because I didn't have uh children church. But now I don't do that. I watch Pastor Tate, my pastor, preach. I watch him preach now.

SPEAKER_00 5:47

Yeah, and you enjoy it? Yes. That's good. I grew up in the church too, like, especially um background from like I grew up, so I love church. Do you actually pay attention or do you be going to sleep or be talking about?

SPEAKER_01 6:00

I be paying tense.

SPEAKER_00 6:02

You actually pay attention?

SPEAKER_01 6:03

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 6:04

Tell me one thing you don't learn in church lately.

SPEAKER_01 6:07

Children church or church?

SPEAKER_00 6:10

Don't matter. As long as you're in the Lord's house, whatever you've learned, please tell me one thing that you've learned.

SPEAKER_01 6:19

We learned about the armor of God and the fruit of the spirit.

SPEAKER_00 6:27

Girl, you better talk your talk.

SPEAKER_01 6:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 6:31

Do you have like talks with your um with your people at home about it? Or is it kind of just like whatever you learn in church, you listen at church, and you just take that with you?

SPEAKER_01 6:42

I uh my grandma does shoot at church, so I be with her. So I be asking her what we doing today, Esther.

SPEAKER_00 6:51

And she kind of just like tells you and talk to you about it.

SPEAKER_01 6:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:55

That's dope. Shout out to Granny, you know what I'm saying? That's that's real good. I'm happy for you. So um, most definitely supporting Cameron um in her journey of getting baptized and you know, understanding that it is a beautiful thing to see our youth engaged in um, you know, like learning about, you know, religion. I know a lot of people are for religion, some people aren't for religion. Whatever is your preference, that is your preference, and it's it's respected because some people don't believe. But whatever it is for you, whatever floats your boat, most definitely I respect it and I understand because everybody was brought up differently and everyone understands and comprehends differently. So, but yeah, happy for you, Cameron. Um next up, so I was thinking about this last night, um, and I wanted to get your input on how you feel about it. So when it comes to support, right? Like when it comes to support you get from your teachers, some like so some students will come to me and they'll tell me like they don't like, you know, they don't like class, they don't like their teachers and all kind of stuff. And then you have other students that come to me and they be like, you know, I love my teacher, I love what they do, they help me, they understand me, they talk to me. Do you feel like you're supported by teachers? And has it ever been a time where you didn't feel supported by teachers?

SPEAKER_01 8:30

Uh yes.

SPEAKER_00 8:33

All right. Talk about times where you didn't feel supported. Don't you don't have to say teacher name, of course, but just tell me like times where you didn't feel like your teacher supported you.

SPEAKER_01 8:48

So do do do do do do do do do I don't remember.

SPEAKER_00 8:59

But you okay, so how about times you feel like you have been supported?

SPEAKER_01 9:06

Uh this one time when I was doing math and I was I was getting um my questions right. Uh she looked at the uh the exit ticket things to see uh to put them in, and I got all my exit tickets right.

SPEAKER_00 9:38

How did you feel supported in that though?

SPEAKER_01 9:40

Because she said, uh, wow girl, you uh you have uh uh your exit tickets right.

SPEAKER_00 9:51

So like the positive affirmations behind like whatever you're doing, you feel like teachers support you, they have supported you in that?

SPEAKER_01 9:59

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 10:00

How about how about students? Do you feel like like your friends like support you and things? Because even as you get older, like we all have support systems, right? And support systems, support systems are people that like have your back. They're either gonna tell you when you're right, some people are gonna tell you when you're wrong, but they still care about you in the end. Um, do you feel like you have people around your age that support you in things or friends?

SPEAKER_01 10:31

Uh a couple, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:33

Yeah. Are you supportive? Are you a supportive friend?

SPEAKER_01 10:38

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 10:38

Because, hey, I don't know. Hey, so y'all, I've been had to get on camera later. The camera's been tripping a little bit. I don't know what's been going on with her. I don't know if because she's going to middle school, she's been feeling herself. I almost kicked her off.

SPEAKER_01 10:52

My name is Crayon.

SPEAKER_00 10:55

Crayon, black, yellow, gold, red, blue. I don't care what crayon you want to be.

SPEAKER_01 11:01

Crayon, red, metro.

SPEAKER_00 11:03

Yeah, yeah. Crayon almost got kicked off because crayon been tripping. So, me being your support system and telling you, sometimes you need to just take a step back. You don't gotta be over the top and be around everybody. Sometimes your friends not your friends. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 11:21

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 11:21

Tell me what I mean. What does that mean? Sometimes your friend's not your friends.

SPEAKER_01 11:26

Sometimes your friends gonna stab you and back.

SPEAKER_00 11:30

Ooh, that was pretty deep. Yeah, sometimes I don't say stab you. Well, they will do that. But no, I'm what I'm saying is sometimes you gotta distance yourself from friends because friends may not make the right decisions. Do you feel like you make the right decisions when it comes to things?

unknown 11:46

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 11:47

Well, I'm about to say something. Sometimes I I say I shouldn't say that, or I say I'm not gonna say that.

SPEAKER_00 11:55

When's the last time you made a bad decision? Like, it don't have to be school, like at home, anywhere. When's the last time you make a bad decision?

SPEAKER_01 12:04

Uh well it was my cousin's birthday and when my other cousins were there and my other cur cousin was there, they were doing too much.

SPEAKER_00 12:21

So what bad decision did you make?

SPEAKER_01 12:24

Uh the uh the first the one of the cousins. So he said something to me, and then I said something back. I said something. We both said something to me, but then at the end, we were all good.

SPEAKER_00 12:45

So you just exchange enough like words that y'all shouldn't have been saying.

SPEAKER_01 12:50

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 12:51

Y'all kids be cursing too.

SPEAKER_01 12:53

No, I don't curse.

SPEAKER_00 12:54

You sure?

SPEAKER_01 12:55

I don't curse.

SPEAKER_00 12:56

Better not, because you getting that water, get baptized, you that water might turn a little hot.

SPEAKER_02 13:01

I'm not. A little fiery. I don't curse.

SPEAKER_00 13:04

All right, no need you doing that. I don't need you cursing now. But yeah, I mean it's human. We all make bad mistakes. But the reason why I asked you that that question about do you feel like your teachers support you is because at school we always want to make sure that, you know, you being supported and that you're comfortable. So that's important. But um, anything you want to talk about before we close out?

SPEAKER_01 13:29

My chess tournament.
