Transcript

I'm sorry, Ms. Walsh. There's no way we can afford 50K a year. Tuition's actually 40. But right now, I'm on my dad's route to work, so it's a free ride. To get here, I'll need to get the bus, which costs 1 grand after we buy 10 monthly passes to cover the school year. It's 2 hours each way with transfers. I won't have time for extracurriculars or to help my dad at the laundromat, which compromises our income. So, my best bet is Uber, which is 16 bucks a ride if I avoid surge pricing. 32 bucks a day, 5 days a week for 10 months is $6,400. Add the new student fee, too, and another fee for books and uniforms, and it's $15,000. Give or take. >> [music] >> First in Math competition. Lynn, you can attend Xylem for free. >> [music] >> And I'll waive all the fees. You are as deserving as any of our other students the chance to follow your dream. All you need to do is

figure out the best way to get here each day. Is that a problem you think you can solve?
