AUGGIE:
My mom always said...

"If you don't like

where you are...

"just picture

where you wanna be."

ALL:
(CHANTING)

Auggie! Auggie! Auggie!

Auggie! Auggie! Auggie!

Auggie! Auggie!

(CHANTING CONTINUES)

(LOCKER SLAMS SHUT)

AUGGIE:
I can't wait

till Halloween.

(ALL CHATTERING)

All right, let's settle down.

Everybody settle down.

Uh... Saved.

MR. BROWNE:
Everybody find

your seats? Yes?

Finding our seats. Great.

(BELL RINGS)

All right, now some of us

are lucky enough

to know each other. Yeah?

And, and others are new.

Hi there.

Okay, my name is Mr. Browne

and you're late.

Yeah. I'm so sorry.

I was just helping set up

chairs for the assembly.

Can anybody tell me

what this word means?

Anybody? No?

Precepts are rules

for really important things.

Like mottos.

Like mottos.

Or like famous quotes.

Or like, um, lines

from a fortune cookie. Right?

Precepts can help motivate us.

They can help guide us when

we have to make decisions

about really important things.

Okay?

"So why are you talkin' to me

about precepts

"this early in the morning,

Mr. Browne?"

Because precepts can also

tell us a lot about ourselves.

Who is it that I aspire to be?

That is the question

that we should be

asking ourselves all the time.

What kind of person am I?

So this is what

we're gonna do.

Um, everyone's gonna come up

with two things

that they think everybody else

should know about them.

Number one, I used to work on

Wall Street. For a long time.

And two, I left Wall Street

to pursue my dream and teach.

Boom, who's next?

Yes.

And I think it's cool how

you're pursuing your dream.

Thank you very much, Julian.

Let's hear your two things.

One, I just got

Battleground Mystic on my Wii

and it's totally awesome.

And number 2, we got

a ping pong table this summer.

Amazing.

Any questions for Julian?

Is Battleground Mystic

multiplayer or single player?

Let's not

those kinda questions.

(ALL LAUGH)

Okay, uh...

(SIGHS)

Hi.

My name's August Pullman.

Auggie.

And, um...

I have a sister named Via

and a dog named Daisy.

I love Star Wars.

And I just said three things.

Yeah. Sorry.

That sounds like a bonus

to me. Three things.

Thank you very much, Auggie,

that was perfect. Who's next?

Oh! I actually have

a question for Auggie.

What's the deal with the braid

in the back of your hair?

Is it like a Padawan thing?

What's a Padawan thing?

Oh. It's from Star Wars.

Padawan is a Jedi apprentice.

Who's your favorite character,

Auggie?

Boba Fett.

What about Darth Sidious?

Do you like him?

Okay, can we talk about
