Over Shaun, how are you doing today? 25 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: Scholar Ready tell us about the name of your business 26 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: and why that means. It should resonate to any parent 27 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: or any young person who's about to go to college 28 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,559 Speaker 1: in general, not just hph used, but as one would 29 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: call predominant white institutions to pwi's is the phrase is 30 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: used a lot when you're talking about I graduate graduating 31 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: from the University of Houston. You graduated from the University 32 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: of Oklahoma. They're called pwi's. 33 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 2: So scholar Ready is important because there are so many 34 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 2: opportunities available to our students, whether they choose a predominant 35 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: White institution or PWI or historically black college or university 36 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 2: or an HBCU. We just have to be ready for 37 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 2: the opportunities. And I named the company scholar Ready because 38 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 2: I was inspired by my first client, who is me 39 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: and I graduated from k I'm from Houston, Texas, and 40 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 2: I graduated from North Shore senior high school, and I 41 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: was tired of going to school with the same people 42 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 2: for twelve years. As an adult, I can appreciate that 43 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 2: stability that allowed me to do that, but as a 44 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 2: sixteen or seventeen year old, I did not appreciate that. Therefore, 45 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 2: from the time I was a junior in high school 46 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: to the time I was a junior in college, I 47 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: applied for over thirty scholarships and I want enough to 48 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: where I only had to take out one thousand dollars 49 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 2: in student loans and rashan, I didn't even need the 50 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: loans for I didn't even use the loans for academic purposes. 51 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 2: I used the loans and go buy plane tickets because 52 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: I had a boyfriend in Houston. I didn't. But the 53 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 2: key is you have to. And when I was in 54 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: college and I didn't, my parents couldn't pay for me 55 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: to go to school because we made My family made 56 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: too much to qualify for financial aid, but not enough 57 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 2: to write a check. Times too, because I have a 58 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 2: twin sister to go to college and I was able 59 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 2: to receive that money because I was ready. I was prepared. 60 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: My test scores were really good, my essay writing abilities 61 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 2: were good, and I was. Another thing that made me 62 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: ready is that I was always seeking a new opportunity 63 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: because I am incredibly persistent, and that's what scholar ready 64 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: is about. I thought that what I did was normal. 65 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: And then when I graduated and I realized so many 66 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 2: of my family members and my classmates were graduating with 67 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 2: all this student loan dead, I wanted to start a 68 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,839 Speaker 2: company to make sure that we were ready to take 69 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 2: care to take advantage of all of the opportunities already. 70 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: Now they're difford Like I, I was horrible on my 71 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: SAT horrible as Smith. I went to the University Houston, 72 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: had an opportunity to go to Southern University. At the 73 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: last minute, opted to go to the University Houston. My 74 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: degree is in mathematics minor in sociology. But I graduated 75 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: the top ten percent of my class, which enabled me 76 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: to attend the Universe Houston. How will you academically at 77 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: your class because there are options there, Like, you scored 78 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: very well on your test scores. How were you academically 79 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: in school? High school? 80 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 2: Oh? High school? Oh wow, I wasn't in the I 81 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 2: may have been in the top fifteen percent. I definitely 82 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: wasn't in the top ten percent of my class. But 83 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 2: what helped me were my test scores. My test scores 84 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: and my essay. I'm an incredibly good writer, and those 85 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: things helped me to do well to get to be 86 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 2: able to number one, get into college, and then number 87 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: two be able to get those scholarships. 88 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: Wow. Now there's the question here when should your child 89 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: or any child start preparing for college? 90 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 2: When you want to start So there's kind of the 91 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 2: so preparing for college as early as possible, and you 92 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 2: really want to start with just setting expectations. For example, 93 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 2: when I was a little kid, my aunt, you know, 94 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: no one ever sat down and told me, my brother 95 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 2: and my sister that we're going to go to college. 96 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 2: There was never like this kitchen table discussion of you're 97 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 2: going to go to college and that's the way it's 98 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 2: going to be. It was little things like my aunt saying, oh, 99 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 2: you know, when you go to college, you have to 100 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: make sure that you keep a clean room. Because when 101 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 2: I went to Prayer of You, we used to talk 102 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 2: about the girls who were nasty like it was it 103 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 2: was it was. 104 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: It was things like that, you want to be a 105 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: nasty girl in college. A nasty dude come on with that. 106 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 2: No, no, and it was. 107 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: But now case they call us a funky the funky dude, 108 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: you know, they lay into a dude who had a 109 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: couple of dudes. I remember right now you flashing some 110 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: memories on some funky dude room walking there, going do 111 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: what any of you're eating toes up in there? Do 112 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: what's going up in there. But the interesting thing about 113 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: your interview that I wanted to bring on the show 114 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 1: because I'm an HbCO advocate, Jenifer and I talk a 115 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: lot about the opportunities the HBCU college fairs and I'm 116 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: aware of but I've never had an individual that talked 117 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: about predominant white institutions and the opportunities, the scholar opportunities. 118 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: They say, opportunities they are available for their children because 119 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: not everybody and have the right to choose where they 120 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: want to go. And I try to bring a balance 121 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: to money making conversations. Massic Lass. I say, look, you 122 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: come to my show and you can hear opportunities if 123 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: your child wants to go to the University of Texas, 124 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: University of Nebraska LSU, because like you said, you were 125 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: born and raised in Houston, but you went out of 126 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: state to University Oklahoma, and you had out of they 127 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: feased you had to pay. And like she said, when 128 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: she graduated, she didn't owe anything but that little loan 129 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,679 Speaker 1: that she used to go see her board friend in Houston, 130 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: Okay on Southwest Airlines. Because I know what airlines she 131 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: was flying. I know only Win airlines she was flying. 132 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: Back in that day that she said she went back 133 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: and forth a lot on the thousand dollars. I do it, 134 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: I know it, bug so, but you know the whole thing. 135 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: I remember, I remember a good friend of mine called 136 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: a good friend of mine marry him, like she knew 137 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: she was going to be valedictorian. I mean that girl 138 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: from the ninth grade, tenth grade, eleventh grade, wasn't nobody 139 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: going to beat her. She had a four point on 140 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: when she graduate. That was a focus. And that sounds 141 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: like a focus that you had. I was exactly the opposite. 142 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: I just wanted to get out of high school. But 143 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: I was. I was. Teachers mentioned me, they so value 144 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: in me. Now, people like me tend to not prepare 145 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: well for SATs P, s A t's acts. Now we 146 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: can say you can start in kindergarten and prepping yourself 147 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: we can say you start in tenth grade, but your 148 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: course is on exactly that long, and you can prepare 149 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: students a lot faster for SATs, ACTS and PSATs.

And you know, we really what makes 163 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 2: us different is that we are really thinking about what's 164 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 2: happening with the student in the times of now. And 165 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 2: you know, most parents will tell people now, will say, well, 166 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: my student isn't good at exams, and I've been doing 167 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 2: this for twenty years, and that's what I hear over 168 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 2: and over again. My student isn't good at taking tests, 169 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 2: especially since the pandemic, And I just get that out 170 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 2: of the way because I know that's an objection to 171 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,239 Speaker 2: hold people back from wanting to actually prepare for the exams. 172 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 2: And we can and again, we can all agree that 173 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 2: the students have gaps, especially because of the time that 174 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: they spend during the pandemic outside of an in person classroom. 175 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 2: And what I do is I review the fundamentals that 176 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 2: they need to do well in the exam to help 177 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 2: them get that confidence to move forward. Another thing that 178 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 2: we do is we address that issue of test anxiety, 179 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 2: because some people will say, oh, no, we're not going 180 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 2: to you know, we're not going to take the test 181 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 2: because we're not gonna have the student take the test 182 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 2: because the student has text anxiety, and consequently they leave 183 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: all these opportunities behind. And I mean, look, Rashan, I 184 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 2: would be nervous if you ask me to do something 185 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 2: I haven't trained for. So some of my best favorite 186 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 2: students are athletes. And you know, let's just take basketball players. 187 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 2: If you said, if you are my coach, and you said, 188 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: all right, Jennifer Wance, you go take this basketball and 189 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: run out on the court and go and win. And 190 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 2: not only are you asking me to win, it's a 191 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 2: playoff game, and you know I'm starting and everybody, you know, 192 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 2: people are depending on me. I can't tell you the 193 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 2: last time I touched the basketball. I have never mastered dribbling, passing, 194 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 2: or shooting. So if I get on that court and 195 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 2: try to play basketball, I am going to be incredibly anxious. 196 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 2: I'm going to be incredibly nervous. And while test anxiety 197 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 2: is a real thing, I do believe that we can 198 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 2: help students because often, like that whole basketball analogy, that's 199 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 2: what we do to kids all the time. We throw 200 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 2: them into situations for which they are not prepared and 201 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 2: then expect them to perform. And we really just in 202 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 2: order to combat that test anxiety, we help them to 203 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 2: We teach them strategies and help them to figure out 204 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 2: their own You know, I'm very open minded with my students. 205 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 2: As long as your strategy gives you the correct answer, 206 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,719 Speaker 2: you are consistent in being able to use that strategy 207 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 2: to get the correct answer, and you are comfortable with it, 208 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 2: we can roll with it. And another thing that we 209 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 2: do in our courses is we we know that people 210 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 2: have had these unfavorable let's just say, unfavorable experiences in 211 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 2: online learning. But the thing about us which is different 212 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 2: about us is that it is it's me live and 213 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 2: in living color, teaching every bit, and I have my 214 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 2: students play games. I have students, we've done escape rooms before. 215 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 2: There are different ways that you can mix it up 216 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 2: online to keep the students get engaged. Yes, sir, so 217 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 2: that's how our classes work. 218 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 1: Well, it's important that you outline that because a lot 219 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: of people what the beauty of life now since COVID 220 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: is that doing studies doing lessons online is not a 221 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,719 Speaker 1: foreign thing to parents and it is much more accepting now. 222 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: But the thing I liked about the fact that is 223 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: that somebody can be watching this show or listening to 224 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: this show from Chicago or Los Angeles or Seattle, Washington, 225 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: or New York City or Kansas City, Missouri, and they 226 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: can use your services. So tell us how that works. 227 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: How does one listening to this show, Jennifer get in 228 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: touch with you, and then steps step by step, how 229 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: we can get them a register and once they register, 230 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: how do you reach back at them? 231 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 3: All? 232 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: Right? So they can visit www dot scholar ready dot 233 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 2: com and they can they can there's a there'll be 234 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 2: a special link for the listeners of this show to 235 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 2: visit the website. They can share their their their email address, 236 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 2: and in exchange for sharing their email address, they will 237 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 2: receive more information about the class. And what we'll do 238 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 2: is what I like to do with people is I 239 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 2: like to I like to have them set an appointment 240 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 2: so I can have an understanding of what their thoughts 241 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 2: are behind taking the class, because I believe that people 242 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 2: need to be very strategic when it comes to preparing 243 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 2: for exams. Because yes, the classes are about eight weeks. 244 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 2: They are eight weeks and they at the same time, 245 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 2: they are very intensive. It requires you know, coming to 246 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 2: class consistently, putting in the work, participating, and we need 247 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 2: to know, we need to have a plan to make 248 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 2: sure that everybody's using their resources properly. So once we 249 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 2: have a plan in place, I'll send people an invoice 250 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 2: so they can pay, and then once they pay, they'll 251 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 2: be registered for the class, and then they'll receive two 252 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 2: books for two textbooks for the subject matter, whether it's SAT, 253 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 2: PSAT or ACT, and we have a start date for 254 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 2: the class. I send them a link to join the 255 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 2: class and we go from there. 256 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 3: Please don't go anywhere. We'll be right back with more 257 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 3: money Making Conversations Masterclass. Welcome back to the Money Making 258 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 3: Conversations Masterclass hosted by Rashaan McDonald.

That's the 263 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: key part of this conversation. And can a young person 264 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: eighteen seventeen do it? Have to get permissions they're under 265 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: eighteen to go to your website and contact you, or 266 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: they have to be over the age of eighteen. 267 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 2: They ideally they would be. So there are some students 268 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 2: who are hungry enough to seek me out and pay 269 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 2: and come to class and participate. Most students need encouragement 270 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 2: from their parents, but if they but if a student 271 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 2: wants to do it on their own, absolutely absolutely. 272 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: Now you were talking about eight weeks and you said, Rashan, 273 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: they got to put in the work. What is that 274 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: is that an hour day during the week Monday through 275 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: Fridays that after school. Talk about that schedule and the 276 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: time commitment that a student has to have to go 277 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: experience your eight week court eight weeks course and then 278 00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: be able to handle the testing of an act psat SAT. 279 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 2: Okay, So students may be in that's a really good question. 280 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 2: Students may be in class from anywhere from four to 281 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 2: six hours a week, and then they need to spend 282 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 2: about So if they're for every hour, you know, we 283 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 2: were in college, they would say for every hour in class, 284 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 2: you need to study this many hours. So I would 285 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 2: say for every hour they're in class, they need to spend. 286 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 2: If we're at six, I would say probably if it's 287 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 2: four to six hours, they need to plan to spend 288 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 2: about two to three hours outside of class preparing for 289 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,479 Speaker 2: the test. So they have to do so there's attendance 290 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 2: and there's homework. 291 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: Well, the reason I'm bringing this up because my daughter, 292 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: I remember, she got into a university's and the engineering 293 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: program and they had SAT cutoffs scored this particular and 294 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: she had the grades and everything, but if she didn't score, 295 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: so she had to take an SAT. She did tutoring, 296 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: took an SAT again, scored a point and she got 297 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: an engineering Then, like she said, she was interested in 298 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: going to Georgia Tech. Their SAT score was higher than 299 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: the University of Houston's SAT, but she wanted to go 300 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: to the University of Houston because that's where her mom 301 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: and dad graduated from. When I'm just letting everybody know 302 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: that it's important to understand that SATs matter, especially in 303 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: the technical fields. They put an emphasis and put a 304 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: curved point on it. What you got to have to participate. 305 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: You may have the academic you might be valed victorian, 306 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 1: but if you don't have the SAT score as a 307 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: graduating vali Victoria, you might not get in that school. Correct. 308 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 2: That's correct. That's correct, and that and those are the opportunities. 309 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 2: That's why it's scholar ready, because you have to be 310 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 2: ready to take advantage of the opportunities. And you know, 311 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 2: sometimes it's not obvious, Like sometimes it's not obvious to 312 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 2: people that they have to have a certain test score 313 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 2: to pursue a major in a in a technical field. 314 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 2: But it's it's it is there. 315 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about something you brought up earlier, because 316 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you something. When I got out 317 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: of high school, English was my thing, Okay. In fact, 318 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: when I enrolled at the University Houston, I had to 319 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: take remedial English, which means I had to go to 320 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: a community college to create qualifying English skills, to develop 321 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: qualifying English skills. Then I transferred those courses back to 322 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: University Houston, and that's how I was eventually be able 323 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: to stay at the school, and eventually I became a 324 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: Hollywood sitcom writer. So that talent and that skill set 325 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: paid off. But I'm pretty sure I wasn't as talented 326 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: as you. Essays you hear these essays become a part 327 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: of the story. Some of them say two hundred and 328 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: fifty words, five hundred words? What exactly do you train 329 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: when you talk to people or young people about the 330 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: perfect essay? 331 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 2: Okay, So I actually started my business to help students 332 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 2: write essays because so many people get intimidated by the 333 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 2: essay and they don't pursue different they don't complete applications 334 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 2: because they don't apply to things because they're afraid of 335 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 2: the essay. What I tell students with essays, I teach 336 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 2: my students how like you said, you're a Hollywood screenwriter. 337 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 2: I teach my students to write stories, and I actually 338 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 2: use I don't know if you've ever read this book. 339 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 2: I think his name is Robert McKee. He wrote this 340 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 2: book called Story and it's like this big dick and 341 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 2: and that's and that's what I use when I teach. 342 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 2: I don't well, I actually use other books that are 343 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 2: more appropriate for their you know, grade level. But my 344 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 2: but the way that I teach them about stories is 345 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 2: informed by a book written by Hollywood screenwriter. And we 346 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 2: always start with one of what I like to start with. 347 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 2: I want my students to focus on telling a story. 348 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 2: And when they tell a story, they have to focus 349 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 2: on they have to start with like an inciting incident. 350 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 2: So the inciting incident is the thing that puts the 351 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 2: story in motion. And it's and I mean and every 352 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 2: essay is going to ask for an inciting incident. They're 353 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 2: just going to ask for it in the form of 354 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 2: write about an opportunity, a challenge, an obstacle that you faced, 355 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 2: and how did you overcome it? And I have them, 356 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 2: I have them write in scenes. So I have them 357 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 2: to and I say, okay, scenes include action. I need 358 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 2: you to include action, I need you to include dialogue. 359 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 2: And I do that because and I tell them, hey, 360 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 2: whenever you are writing something for someone, they are reading 361 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 2: your work as a courtesy to you. And you want 362 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 2: to be memorable. You want to be entertaining for because 363 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 2: people remember stories. That's how you know. People will remember 364 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 2: if you can tell them a good story, and that's 365 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 2: what you want to do. So aside from telling them stories, 366 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 2: I also have them working on multiple ideas at the 367 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 2: same time because a few years ago I noticed that 368 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 2: all of my students would hold on to like their 369 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 2: first idea, and everybody's first idea is bad. Everybody's first 370 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 2: idea is bad. It's bad. And I would be like, 371 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 2: why are they holding on of these bad ideas? Like 372 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 2: you know, obviously it's terrible, Like why don't they know 373 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 2: it's terrible? But then but then I started thinking about it, 374 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 2: and I was like, Jennifer, if everybody is doing the 375 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: thing that you don't like, then what's the common denominator. 376 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 2: The common denominator is you, So why don't what are 377 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 2: you doing? Why don't your student what are you doing 378 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 2: to encourage them to hold on to this bad idea? 379 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 2: So what I started to do was I started to 380 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 2: have my students working on like three different ideas at 381 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 2: the same time, and that way they would it was 382 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 2: easier for them to let go of the bad idea. 383 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 2: So that's something that we do. So I have them 384 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 2: working on multiple ideas at the same time. I have 385 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 2: them to tell stories. I also have them research the 386 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 2: organization that is offering the scholarship or the college admission 387 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 2: if you are applying to. I had a student a 388 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 2: few weeks ago who was applying to the University of 389 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 2: Texas at Austin. And yes, we are in Texas, but 390 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 2: Austin is a very liberal place, and especially a university 391 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 2: of a public university in Austin will be a liberal place. 392 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 2: And this student wrote this essay and he quoted this 393 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 2: scientist in the essay and I was like, who is 394 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 2: this scientist? Oh, miss Jennifer. He believed in eugenics. I said, baby, 395 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 2: what's eugenics? And he gave me the scientific term of eugenics, 396 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 2: and I was like, all right, I need you to 397 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 2: read about this. And you know, basically, eugenics is the 398 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 2: idea of creating this super master smart human race, right, 399 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 2: that's the scientific idea behind it. But it is rooted 400 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 2: in racism and sexism. And I told and I had 401 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 2: him look him up and I was like, this man 402 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 2: you're quoting, his name has been removed from things in 403 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 2: his home country because of this. I said, if you do, 404 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 2: I said, you cannot write to the University of Texas 405 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 2: Austin about this scientist. They will not select you for 406 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 2: what you were, what you are pursuing. So we have 407 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 2: to look at You need to research the organization, like 408 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 2: in my service organization on a scholarship chair of a 409 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 2: local scholarship organization, and our scholarship is all about service. 410 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 2: It's about community service and leadership. So when you're writing 411 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 2: your essay, it needs to be about your community service 412 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 2: and your leadership. You have to research the organizations and 413 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 2: tailor your message to that organization. 414 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 1: I'm talking to Jennifer led With of scholar Ready.

They open opportunities for scholarships and 418 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: academic programs like I spoke of earlier. Often African Americans 419 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: are locked out of these opportunities. On average, African American 420 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: score a nine oh eight out of sixteen hundred on 421 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: an SAT or a sixteen out of thirty six on 422 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: the ACT.
