The imperative

- Hi everyone, welcome to the Daily Homeroom livestream.

Modal verbs - A2

We have a exciting, I guess we could call it a show today.

To-infinitive

we're doing these live streams as a way to stay connected

When we started seeing the school closures

but it was I guess it was four or five weeks ago,

we realized that all of us at Khan Academy

with as a non-for-profit with a mission of providing

a free world-class education for anyone anywhere

that we had to step up and we had to figure out

as teachers and students as much as possible.

So we started publishing things like daily schedules

to structure all of the content on Khan Academy,

and it's a place to talk about everything.

The closures themselves, the economy, COVID virus.

Many times just ask any questions you have.

We have an awesome guest today, I encourage you,

I'll give a better introduction for her in a few seconds.

either for myself or for Mellody especially.

I wanna give everyone a reminder, we are not-for-profit.

We are funded primarily through philanthropic donations.

And so if you are in a position to do so,

please think about donating to Khan Academy.

We were already running at a deficit before school closures

And you could imagine we're trying to do more

So, for us to be able to do the work for folks

who might not be able to afford, anything is appreciated.

to several corporations who stepped up in the last few weeks

to really especially around the COVID response

Bank of America, Fastly, Novartis, Google.org, and AT&T.

As with that, I'm eager to have as much time

I've known our guests Mellody for some time,

And, there's two things I really I'm eager

One is just your journey to becoming co-CEO

of what I think is one of the most important

and it's just interesting times to put it lightly.

tell us there's a lot of young people watching

How did you end up becoming the co-CEO of Ariel investments?

- Well, thank you so much for having me on Sal.

And just know that I'm such a big fan of yours,

as you know, all too well, from the first time

I came to see you I told you I was just enamored

by all the things you were doing to teach so many people

all around the world and I applaud your efforts

that you have things like this that exist

I'm also honored to be asked to be one of the people

My story I think is the story of many people

just a story of persistence and really, really hard work.

we had a really at times challenging existence,

to say the least sometimes we got evicted,

sometimes our phone got disconnected, lights got cut off.

We'd live in some of the abandoned apartments

and rent for people in order to make a living.

And it is during that time that I became clear

that I was desperate to understand money,

not make it, not have a lot, understand it.

I had the opportunity to be an intern at Ariel investments,

which was this fledgling investment firm,

started by this wondercan named John Rogers,

who started the company when he was 24 years old.
