i told them, i have a 1.7 gpa. preya was the one that interviewed me five years ago. i went to four community colleges before i transferred. i will graduate this year. the program is great because it's a one stop shop and actually on site. >> you hear that statistic, how easy is to fall to know that pattern, to us at excuse, i'm a foster child, i'm not gonna make it? you kind of bucked that trend. how easy is it for a foster child to say, you know what it's stacked against me, i'm going to go this route and not go to college? >> very easy because what's the basic needs are, a home. you know, food. that's really what they provide us with, a pass when you're 17, 16, doing a lot of couch surring and -- surfing, they have become my family. i keep in touch with them, my other peer, got it to go to the graduation and stuff. i tell them, you guys are my family, i don't know where they find these people that i get to tell them my crazy stories and a lot of people can't handle it you know? they are just like this is what you need to do. >> what is it that made you kind of snap

the difference between the gpa's in college turned out to be five 100ths of a gpa point. the difference in graduation rates turned out to be six tenths of 1%. by any statistical standard those are trivial differences. >> woodruff: it's commonly been accepted though for many years that these tests help in determining whether students should be accepted at college. what do you think these results should say to colleges that are today insisting that students send in submit their test results. >> i think that colleges will probably doing some hopefully analysis of their own predirksz college by college much. this is a national study so it looks across institutional types. of the hundred and 23,000 students in our study, 71,000 were at public universities, another 12,000 were at minority serving institutions. we had 20 private colleges and universities in our study. so there's a very wide variety. but i hope institutions will ask themselves the question, would we open up our applicant pools more. would we see larger numbers of students who would succeed if in one way or anothe

so, all students need to do is make sure that their submit their fafsa, complete a high school gpa and get that verified and can qualify for $1,000 scholarship and win that in the raffle. >> that's awesome. we just threw a lot of information at you. we show you a website that you can go to for more information. go to cal grants but dial that number also on the screen because then you can talk to sonia and find out more about maybe where these workshops -- or is there a website? >> they can go to calgrants.org website and put in their zip coat and find the closest workshop near them. >> well that's easy. calgrants.org. and dial that number also for more information. thank you so much. because every year you come and tell us about these wonderful opportunities, and it really gets to the point where going to college should be no excuse for not doing it. the opportunity is there. >> we're here to help. >> thank you. >> thank you so much. >> up next, a conversation, stay tuned. >>> we had a conversation with them more than a decade ago when they were celebrating 100 years of existence. we'r

it will help us to support the effort of our partners which is the caltrans and t gpa. looking at each of the components specifically. the first exponent to be the i to boulevard currently, i two 80 presents a separation of mission bay from the other areas of the city. currently there are only be 0 two across at the 16th and mission bay. we've been successful in taking down the embarcadero and the octavia boulevards and the value that has come to the area has been immense. i stated before we'll be this on existing concepts. and once you start to see the possibility of interconnecting the neighborhoods which is what this slide shows how to commit those communities you can look at the possibility of taking down i two 80 pr the specific work to the component number one which the the boulevard at 2 to looked at the elevated freeway with a surface boulevard. that will help to determine the impacts. i want to make a point to state we're not only looking at this area we're going to make sure by boulevard two 80 we're going to be looking at the u.s. 101 what we the bay bridge a

color in particular that come underserved out of high school, then the decision in terms of, like, gpa even the idea of academic self esteem, in many cases, the decision of whether they are going to go to college is almost made for them, and so if they have in terms of a four-year degree, if they have these desires to get to a four-year university and get that bachelor's degree, if you have a low gpa coming out of high school, then really the one of the few bridges to get to that four-year institution are the community colleges, and those are the places that, you know, i'm saying, you can have strengthened and programs, like i said, seattle central, we're already working programs with african and african-american males who are the least recruited and retained population on the campus, so that work is already happening, so the opportunity to make that connection with the things that the president is doing has a great amount of potential. >> we're out of time, but quickly get your point out. >> quickly, when you think about the unemployment and disproportionate way african-americans -- d

[ applause ]for the city of chicago. my dream school is new york university. being there and meeting the president opened up new doors for me and gave me a new outlook on life. it gave me more ambition and drive to accomplish my dreams. meeting the president and having him tell me that my life now is not different from the way his was made me realize i have potential too. through his eyes i have been able to see that potential in me and everyone in this room. ladies and gentlemen, i now have the honor of introducing you to the president of the united states. >> all right. thank you. everybody please have a seat. good afternoon, everybody. welcome to the white house and thank you, christian, for that outstanding introduction. and thank you for cheering for the white sox which is the right thing to do. like your parents and your teachers, i could not be prouder of you and the other young men who are here today. but just so that you are clear, you are only excused for day of school. i assume you have

>> well i would look at the debt to gpa issue both currently in its projected path of time under assumptions that current policies continue. i think you can't assess the debt of an economy and how if you were looking at the debt of a house hold you would need to assess it to know what the house hold's income is, what's bearable or serviceable level of debt given the income of the house hold or the economy. what's important here is that according to any projection, particularly the cbos over a longer horizon, the u.s. debt is unsustainable. >> i appreciate your comment and your testimony there. i introduced legislation that would preplace the existing debt ceiling law with a new debt ceiling that ties debt to -- that ties to new ceiling to a declining debt of cpo ratio. one final question. i often hear the argument that quantitative easing lowers the cost of the government and market for treasures. is there a reason to be concerned that qe crosses the line from monetary policy because it affect -- >> not many my opinion. i believe that the fed is focused on its plan date that was given to it

this kid conti is the president of the class i want to know where the school's common sense here. 4.4 gpaclasses. >> apparently third time was the charm. freshman football player had said very vulgar things. this wasn't a case of averaging bullying. basically sexual harassment. basically the third time the family got together and said hey we have to get this kid to the administration. the school is not doing anything. we claimed before. they sort of take matters into their own hands. they don't go in there with first acuffs. they get a security guard at the football game to help them. that's when the fray occurred. maybe they both should have gotten suspended or maybe the school should have investigated before they suspended anybody. now the kid not vice president. >> some of the schools can be rough. security guards there why do you think this kid was suspended five days versus the two days for the football player and will that come to play in the lawsuit. >> depends on what the facts are here. jonah makes a good case. the high school student claims he was attacked first. it really depen
