that'd be great, and I hope you're well.

Bye.

Save our schools! Save our schools!

Save our schools! Save our schools...

- So I got news.

- Yeah?

- I got a job offer from Uno.

- A charter school?

I know. I know, but there's not

that many positions at CPS.

Well, hey, you know what? That's great.

- You still thinking about the museum?

- Yeah, actually, I already applied.

- Good for you.

- Yeah. I haven't told John yet.

- Why?

- I don't want to jinx it.

We sort of decided that I would

stay home with the baby, and...

I don't want to get into

a fight if I don't have to.

- Well, I think you'll get it.

- Oh, really?

- Yes.

- Well, thank you.

- So how's the belly?

- Oh, well, she is doing great.

- It's a girl.

- It's a girl.

- That's so great.

- I know.

I'm really excited. I just... Oh, God,

I hope I don't mess her up.

- You'll do great.

- You think so?

- Yes.

- I hope so.

Hello?

I'm back here.

Oh, my God.

This is incredible. Honey, did you just

do this all by yourself, like, today?

Yeah. Do you like it?

I love it.

You got a little... here.

You got a little schmutz.

- Oh, yeah.

- Let me get that for you so...

It'll happen.

- I got it.

- Thank you.

This is amazing. You're the best.

- Yeah, I am.

- This is...

- I can't even believe this, like...

- Wait, you got to see what else I got.

- There's more? John, that...

- Oh, there's more.

So I know I said I don't want

the whole place to feel, like, too girly...

- Yeah.

- But she is a girl, right?

Yeah.

So.

Pink dinosaurs. Oh, I love 'em.

- Right?

- I love 'em.

- I was so psyched when I saw these.

- They're perfect.

- I can't even believe they exist.

- Well, technically, they're extinct.

Hi, Samantha. This is Katie

calling from the Field Museum.

We recently got your application

for the education coordinator position,

and we would love

to set up an interview.

Give me a call back.

We can set up a time.

Thanks so much. Bye-bye.

Hey, Ms. Abbott.

Hey, Jasmine.

I thought Travis was dropping you off.

Well, that didn't exactly work out.

We stopped talking.

Stopped talking?

- We broke up.

- Sh*t.

It wasn't a fight or anything.

I just realized I can't be with him.

- Did he cheat on you?

- No, it ain't even like that.

He's just...

getting drunk with his friends,

not taking work seriously,

not taking the baby seriously.

You know his mama still buy his clothes?

He ain't do anything bad.

He just needs to grow up.

He not grown.

Can't imagine having kids

with my high school boyfriend.

I thought when I got pregnant

that he would straighten up

and do right and everything.

He's still gonna help out with the baby,

and I think he'll be a good father.

I just can't take on this baby and him.

I can't worry about...

waking him up for work on time

and nagging him to get home.

I just can't think about that, you know?

Am I being stupid?

Jasmine, you are anything but stupid.

I just picked out a few things

I thought were cute.

Mom, you bought her

three bags of clothes.

I can't help it. I'm excited, Samantha.

I just... I haven't even bought

any clothes for the baby yet.

Great. Now you don't have to.

Well, you know, I want to,

though, Mom, you know...

and it would be silly because you've

bought enough clothes for five kids.

Samantha, by the time

you get around to it,

the kid's gonna come out

with nothing to wear.

You're spending all your time with a teenager

instead of focusing on your own baby.

Mom, Jasmine is my friend, okay?

I'm helping her.

Right. And it's pretty strange

to be friends with a 17-year-old.

You know what, Mom, that's none of your

business, and you know what else?

This is my baby, okay, Mom?

This is not your baby.

Fine. Don't take the clothes.

Give them to the poor girl.

- Mom.

- What?

You want to help your friend,

and she probably needs them.

Just because Jasmine doesn't have a lot

of money doesn't mean she has shitty taste.

Ladies and gentlemen, listen to me.

Listen to me.

You must have 25 passing credits

by May 29th.

If you don't have 25 passing credits,

you will not receive a cap and gown,

and you will not walk across the stage.

If you have any questions about that,

you can come see me in my office.

Now give your attention

to Principal Clements, please.

Good afternoon, seniors.

Settle down. Settle down now.

I am here to congratulate a few folks

who have received college

admissions letters this week.

Kiara White, please stand up.

Bianca Jones.

Terry Lewis.

Kevin Jackson.

And...

Tijuan Anderson.

Congratulations to you all. Yes, yes.

Now, we are posting your acceptances

on our front board,

so when you receive something in the mail,

please, please let the front office know.

- Hi, baby.

- Say hi, Josephine.

- How old is she?

- Four months.

She's so cute.

- When are you due?

- August.

You got to get one of these carriers.

It's the best thing I got.

You can get a used one

online way cheaper.

No.

Yes.

Duchess.

Is she dying?

- Hey.

- Hey. Grandma left you a plate.

Okay.

Jasmine. Hey.

- Gosh, I'm so excited for you.

- Me too.

Did they send you anything

about scholarships?

- They sent me a whole packet.

- Oh, my gosh.

We have to make an appointment for

the financial aid office when we get there.

That still works for you, right?

Your grandma's okay with that?

Yeah. Oh, my grandma

wanted me to give this to you.

It's for your baby shower.

I will definitely be there.

We were all really impressed

with your resume.

Thanks. I'm really impressed

with your education department.

You know Shelly Roa. I saw

that she gave you a recommendation.

Yeah, I do. I actually met her last year.

I came here for a teacher workshop.

She's... she's great.

She loves you guys.

Well, we love her.

So tell me a bit about your background.

How did you get involved

in teaching science?

Well, to be honest, I kind of fell

into the teaching aspect of it.

I got my degree in biology,

and then I applied to Teach For America

as a way to beef up my resume

before grad school,

but I just fell for teaching, and now

I'm just as passionate about both.

That's excellent. What do you think

you can bring to the coordinator position

with your experience

as a high school teacher?

You know, I think that

my excitement for this position

comes from my limitations as a teacher.

I love my students,

but I can't always do the things

that I think will really help them learn,

so... the idea of working

from a macro level

and influencing the science curriculum,

potentially affecting all

of the students in the city,

just... it really excites me.

Us too.

So this is a full-time position.

- Right.

- Paid vacation, benefits, 401k.

We would be looking to have somebody

take over at the end of summer.

- Sorry, so the start date is?

- Realistically, August 1st.

So you may have noticed

that I am pregnant.

Actually, I have a long list of things I am

not allowed to discuss in an interview,
