she said, “vanessa.” my eyes got real big. and it was just like, phew.at i'm going to marry. nobody at home was really relating to him. he's got a disconnect with his team because he's too young, and they think he's arrogant. and vanessa is very receptive to hearing him and taking him for who he's presenting himself to be, even as young as she is. that had to be a feeling of euphoria for kobe. she was everything to him. she stopped going to high school because it became problematic. i mean, kobe rolling up. and i remember he had this white mercedes benz. and i'm like, you're going to her high school. they got engaged very quickly after they met. i think six months. everybody in his world was very adamant that there should be a prenup. 50% of marriages in the real world end in divorce. nba is even higher. he did not want a prenup. he wouldn't do it. i think joe was nervous about it. i mean, they thought that he was moving too quickly. they thought he was too young. i think the first time any of us even knew about vanessa was when he brought her in the loc

but vanessa hi. good evening. this is vanessa again, dr. morales. >> so i think some of you know me as dr. morrow. i'm the ag for a parents of public schools of san francisco and we've been serving san francisco for 25 years. i want to commend dr. sue for her adamant stance on what is going on with the trump administration and the mass deportation of our amazing families. dr. sue i think you are showing a sign of courage and i think all the superintendents that i know are really applauding that right now. so i'm really excited to work with you and just delve deeper into how we could best coordinate services for our young people. thank you. thank you, randi. hi. my name is brandy markman. i'm an as of usda public school parent a couple of weeks ago i was in washington d.c. from with parents and educators from cities around the us who have fought school closures. and one thing that came up continuously is how thedent outcomes focused governance model is designed to result in school closures. it is basically taking away a lot of oversight comm
