"So, how was your class?"
"I wasn't expecting this. I knew it would be an impoverished community, but most of them don't want the information."
"If you grew up in poverty, you probably would feel hopeless."
"Why don't they want better? Most of them have made so many bad choices. Why would someone have six kids in poverty with no education?"
"Your privilege is showing."
"What?"
"You grew up in an upper middle class neighborhood. I'm sure this is your first trip to the hood."
"No, it's not."
"You have to see things from their vantage point. They need motivation to improve."
"How am I supposed to do that when they are not interested?"
"Keep talking to them about community college."
"They're almost 30 with no education."
"Because they don't know any other lifestyle."
"I don't understand it. How can they not use common sense. They didn't realize their life was hard after their first kid? Are they having more babies for larger tax refunds?"
"Yeah."
"I'm going to need a lot of patience for this outreach program."
"Do you want to get some food before I drop you off?"
"No, I'm sure Fitz has something cooked."
"I really wish you would be a partner. I don't know how you can work with your fiance. You never get a break from each other."
"I can't leave Fitz."
"We could really make a difference in the black community. That's what you cared about in college. Fitz doesn't have that goal."
"I've made my decision."
"I hope you're happy because it seems like he's the only person winning right now."
Olivia smiled, "I will be waiting for your call next week. We are making a difference."
