Where were we?
Well, Mr. Durkett, to me...
Stanfords not just a school.
Its my entire reason | for living.
Every night, before I went to bed, | Id pray that Id get into Stanford.
And when all my friends | were out having fun...
I stayed in and I studied.
Thats good. | Thats what you have to do.

I need to lie down.
Hey, before you do that--
Youre my same height. | That is neat.
It is. | Lets go to your office...

Hey!
I have a confession.
I never went to college.
Its overrated.
My brother wants | to go here next year.
Well, I hope hes on this list.
Whats that?
Its a list of people | theyve accepted.
