Gearing Up: Graduation, Grease, and Growing Up
Every family has that one member whose tales of transition can fill a room with laughter and warmth; that's my little brother Beto for you. In a heart-to-heart episode of Broke Boys, Beto steps into the limelight to recount the rollercoaster ride from high school halls to the hallways of higher education. We're not just talking timetables and textbooks; this is a genuine slice-of-life story that captures the jittery joy of graduation and the nitty-gritty of nabbing the perfect class schedule, complete with a comedic take on our inherited mathematical prowess (or the occasional lack thereof).
Our dad's knack for turning wrenches and managing fields has done more than just keep the farm running—it's fueled a family fascination with all things automotive. This episode gears up to explore how dad's dual role as farm manager and mechanic has influenced our career compasses, steering us toward the robust world of diesel mechanics. But it's not all grease and gears; we also shift into the entrepreneurial potential that comes with an engineering education, proving that passion can indeed drive purpose and profession.
As Beto stands on the threshold of adulthood, we look back at the quintessential high school send-offs: prom, Grad Night escapades, and the pomp and circumstance of graduation day. There's something about walking across that stage (without tripping in your heels) that marks more than just the end of an era—it symbolizes the start of something new. So, buckle up for a ride down memory lane, filled with advice, anecdotes, and anticipation for what the future holds.

Speaker 2:Hey.
Speaker 1:Samara. Did you hear him with the Spanish?
Speaker 2:I know it sounded nice like that Dang.
Speaker 3:To be honest, I really don't like it when I say Alberto, it just sounds whitewashed.
Speaker 2:Yeah, say it in Spanish, always say it in Spanish, always say it in Spanish.
Speaker 1:It just sounds like you know you're seducing somebody with the guitar already, like Alberto.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, that sounded nice.
Speaker 1:That sounded nice. I liked it, yeah, but again, we're glad to have you on and I'm excited for this episode for you.
Speaker 3:Thank you.
Speaker 1:We just wanted to talk about how it's like preparing for your graduation. You are a senior. It's the first of the month.
Speaker 2:It is actually yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So we're excited to have you on and again just to see how you're doing, how anxious you are, Because I remember If you're anxious, I'm very. Because I remember I was anxious too.
Speaker 2:Oh, I was so scared.
Speaker 1:Because you don't know what's going to happen after. I mean, you've been in routine since kindergarten, waking up to school, being there the whole time.
Speaker 3:You know and then now your schedule's like changed. Yeah, you pick your own like times. Yeah, like college yeah and then your life.
Speaker 1:Your life starts like there's no longer that routine anymore so what's your?
Speaker 2:so you're a senior, right? What's your plan after? Are you going to school? Are you going to work? Are you going to do a little bit of both?
Speaker 3:For the summer, like work with my dad. And then during that time when college starts, then I will go to community college. I've already applied for classes and I forgot to tell you that I found um uh classes oh, did you?
Speaker 2:yeah, like in-person classes yeah, how'd you do? That?
Speaker 1:oh for math, yeah wow, so that was a struggle, right? Yeah, let's give a little back a little backstory yeah, because me and kevin we've been.
Speaker 2:Well, I've been out of college for a minute, so I don't really remember how it was to register yeah, so I'm still in college, but beto texted me like two days ago or yesterday, I think it was like two days ago on monday on monday he texted me on monday and he said hey, can you help me enroll for college classes?
Speaker 2:yeah, 100, let's do that, okay. So then we set up a time to meet up, but neither of us got the memo right. So beto comes over like eight and we start enrolling for classes and he has, like his roadmap from the city college, the advisor right yeah yeah, so then we start going through.
Speaker 2:And beto failed to tell me that his enrollment date was the past thursday, so when he enrolled, we were trying to enroll on monday, we got all the like not desired classes because they were like at weird times yeah so we were trying to figure it out and make it work. But there were two classes that we couldn't figure out math, what were they?
Speaker 3:uh math, uh 11 and um math 211, which is like the support class right support class because math 11, I think is stats yeah so then, math 211 is the support anyways.
Speaker 2:All that to say we couldn't find classes that were like lined up equally, so beth wasn't have like a weird schedule, yeah, but I'm glad you figured it out yeah, now you have it.
Speaker 3:I had it for um. I know it's in the morning from wednesday and thursday oh, that's good and then, uh, friday, I have the support class.
Speaker 2:That's good Nice.
Speaker 3:I registered them. I don't know if I'm like.
Speaker 2:Enroll, enroll, enroll.
Speaker 3:Enrolled.
Speaker 1:You should be, if you, if you registered.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if you registered, we can check after this, if you want, okay yeah. Yeah, so.
Speaker 1:What level math do you have Hold on?
Speaker 2:He's taking stats.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:No, I'm taking calculus.
Speaker 1:Okay still, anyways, saying no, I'm taking um calculus, okay still. Anyways, what level math do you got?
Speaker 2:bro, that's crazy. Calculus is crazy.
Speaker 1:I know, I will say this that we're smart when it comes to math in our family no facts like english and yeah, yeah no I plummeled with that one yeah, I, I can't.
Speaker 2:I can't do math, I'm dyslexic. It's's hard.
Speaker 1:It's that fucking mean. What the fuck? You speak English.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, but I'm glad you figured it out. All that to say that when Beto came over on Monday, he didn't leave until like 1130-ish.
Speaker 3:Like late 10, 1030.
Speaker 2:Like it was like 1030. And then he left and we were trying to figure it out, figure it out and every.
Speaker 3:Every time we thought we had it. We didn't, but it was good. I'm glad you figured it. And then, as soon as, like, I got home, I logged in like quickly to see if I could. Yeah, if I could try to check it and you figured it out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I figured it out.
Speaker 1:See, maybe we're just missing something I don't know nice though yeah, well, now you guys all know like that's where we're gonna dive deep into this episode, so before we continue, let's go ahead and let's roll the intro like we should?
Speaker 4:we flying high, we butterfly up to the sky. No way you catching us.
Speaker 3:Goodbye you need to put me on the soundboard. I want to try.
Speaker 2:You want to come mess with it? Yeah, Okay, we're done. There are all kinds of sounds too. We're not going to recap this. There are all kinds of sounds.
Speaker 2:Kat's in charge of all this shit, but I'm not quick enough to know where the sounds are, and I don't know what they're like. I don't know, I'm going to figure it out. It I don't know what they're like. I don't know, I'm going to figure it out, it'll work out. Let me get out of school and then all kinds of sound effects will be on this thing.
Speaker 3:You're still in school, yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm student teaching until next Wednesday, so I have a week left of student teaching, and then my last day of semester is the 16th, I think.
Speaker 3:And you're getting your master's's.
Speaker 2:You said I'm getting credentialed right now yeah, I'm getting two credentials for special ed oh, okay yeah, so I'll be done, done December of this year. Yeah, I'll be a teacher of record by this January and then I'll be out of school probably for about a year, and then I'll go back and do my master's because I love school and that's that.
Speaker 1:You're gay bro.
Speaker 2:You're a hater.
Speaker 1:I can't do school. I'm so glad that I stopped Wow.
Speaker 2:School's not for everyone, that's okay. So you're going to school to be what?
Speaker 3:Right now, what's your major mechanical engineer and diesel mechanics too, so I'm gonna do both.
Speaker 2:That's cool yeah, that's really good what made you want to get into mechanical?
Speaker 3:engineering. Uh, I like like cars but, I never really like um delve deep into. Is that how you say it?
Speaker 2:yeah, yeah, delve, deep is the thing okay.
Speaker 3:Yeah, delve, delve right, okay, yeah, I never delved deep into it wait.
Speaker 2:Now you guys have me second guessing, delve deep, that's a thing delve, deep delve or dealt no not dealt delve, meaning like went into delve, that's a big word, yeah, yeah delve, reach inside. Yeah, reach inside or search for something.
Speaker 1:You can tell Beto's the smartest one out of me and him.
Speaker 3:No, because I could barely speak English.
Speaker 2:No, delve, deep was what you got. Yeah, beto, you got that.
Speaker 1:I don't give a fuck if you can barely beat your fucking sweat in my dumb ass.
Speaker 2:Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 1:Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 3:He's like it's okay, english is hard english is hard, for real it is um yes, yes, it is um, but I wanted to, um to get into cars, very intrigued into like intrigued intrigued another big word in learning about cars yeah since like um uh since you were young my dad's like usually like, um, like a big uh car person, yeah, especially like with like classic cars and I'm like my dad's always been like super, super hands-on.
Speaker 3:That's what I was gonna say your guys's dad is very like hands-on like hands-on and like wants to take things apart and put them back together and like he's, yeah, he's always told me like, um, like I have to be a farm manager, a mechanic, and I forgot the last one my dad, my dad's very much.
Speaker 2:All that, all that he is our dad, I'm sorry it's a mexican thing that we say my dad, my dad, I say it my me and my siblings say too.
Speaker 1:It's fine they have the same dads. Yeah, we don't be confused they got the same daddy yeah, well, our dad, our dad is very much a multitasker. He's not only just a farm manager, he's a mechanic, he's you know Literally everything. Literally everything and he'll take everything apart. Pops' fucking story is fucking crazy.
Speaker 2:I want your dad to come on this podcast so bad.
Speaker 1:My dad would not get on it bro.
Speaker 2:I think he would if it's like this and it's like you guys, like you two, and then your dad probably yeah I think he would, because his story's so interesting. I mean the little parts that I've heard from him I've only heard like a little bit yeah yeah, I've only heard the little bit that he like shares and it's so interesting, and then the stuff you tell me.
Speaker 1:But yeah, and, like I, I know a lot about my dad and a lot about his story, and it's just a lot of stuff that he doesn't obviously open up about. But it's just incredible. So from what I remember is he was working at a body shop an auto body shop when he was 12. Damn, and he got familiar with cars that way. So he's always been like very hands-on with vehicles and stuff like that, and even from a young age I remember too like he would always be like showing us how to do everything.
Speaker 1:How to do everything. Change your own oil like fix your own parts.
Speaker 2:Hey, shout out to him, because now I'm fixing my oil yeah, so like just to fix, like you know, you don't need my dad.
Speaker 1:My dad's whole thing was like oh, you don't need to be paying someone else to be doing something that you can do by yourself facts so that's how he's always been um so just mostly showing us how to be like in like dependent, independent independent on ourselves and just yeah, like become your own tool. Become, utilize your own forces.
Speaker 2:So your dad said you had to become the manager of farming. For farming A mechanic or no, my dad no. He plays roles. Oh, no, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Got it, got it got it. And then for diesel mechanics. I wanted to because, I mean, it's not about the money, it's mostly because I know that, since Martin's, like you know, oh, into diesels yeah, his own like semi trucks I could probably like, if something like happens probably you know help him oh, there you go, you guys can open a little business, julian as well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, wow, look at you guys. Open a whole little business, you guys oh, there you go yeah, yeah nice yeah, and it's smart.
Speaker 1:It's smart going into different, then I'm pretty sure with with the course of like becoming an engineer, you can do a lot more than just diesel work, right yeah, um well, that's like mostly for like um automotive yeah, because you could be doing stuff with, like tractors.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's another thing too, yeah, yeah nice say so, that's what your future plans are.
Speaker 2:How do you feel about now, like how do you feel about? Like graduation yeah, like graduation. What grad activities are you doing? Is there prom?
Speaker 3:is there uh, right now. Um, I'm like nervous and overwhelming myself, thinking like like what's gonna happen in the future, but then, but then I'm like I just gotta live in the moment for right now no, seriously, day by day, day by day, um, not having to like worry about everything, like what's going on in my life, um, but I think prom is coming up soon nice I am gonna go into that oh nice we're gonna go with. Have you thought about? Oh with like a couple of friends, yeah, oh nice.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's fun that's good and then go ahead and then and then I'm I am to go to Grad Night.
Speaker 2:Where's Grad Night, huh, where's Grad?
Speaker 3:Night Disneyland.
Speaker 2:See, they're so lucky dude.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Ours had to be at Magic Mountain.
Speaker 1:Six Flags, yeah, six.
Speaker 2:Flags, but we didn't go because I'm a weenie.
Speaker 3:We had a choice during our junior year Around this time you can either pick.
Speaker 4:Six Flags Like a pool, like a boating pool. Yeah, like a pool.
Speaker 3:I don't know if it's for the whole district or if it was just for our school, but it was between Universal Studios, disneyland. The fuck or Six Flags Universal.
Speaker 2:Studios. I know, yeah, who wants to go to universal studios yeah, that's, that's random.
Speaker 1:Are they even open that late? Because I?
Speaker 2:think the whole thing with grad night is they stay open like overnight, like only for only for grad night.
Speaker 1:Yeah and it's not just one school, it's all, it's all schools, yeah so I think julian went to did vico.
Speaker 2:No, I think it was julian he did disneyland and grad night too, and he said it was just a whole bunch of schools, like it wasn't open to the public.
Speaker 3:It was just schools, yeah um, there's a certain amount of time where like um, it's like open to the public but, then more so, like during, like the night yeah then, uh, it's open for, like the that's so cool for the schools, yeah, that's so cool.
Speaker 2:that's how it looks.
Speaker 1:yeah, that's so cool, that's how it looks like yeah, julian, do the lines like reduce, is it?
Speaker 2:not as packed. I think it would depend how many schools they have.
Speaker 1:I don't think it's going to be that packed as much, Then you guys can hit all the fucking rides yeah literally, and you guys leave like overnight, right we leave, or you guys leave right after school.
Speaker 3:Oh, the bus like leaves from school like around 4.30 and we get there like at 10.30.
Speaker 2:Dang, and then from 10.30 on, you're there right All the time. And then I think you guys drive back the next morning right Saturday morning. Like 2 am, yeah, something like that, something like that, that's crazy.
Speaker 3:And then after that, we come back and then we have that Sunday off, is it Sunday? Yeah, yeah, it's that Sunday off, uh-huh. And then on a Monday, that's our like graduation.
Speaker 2:Dang.
Speaker 3:Oh shit, Right back to back, so literally right, so you sleep and recap on Sunday. Yeah.
Speaker 2:That's tight actually.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That's cool. That's cool. How do you feel about graduation?
Speaker 3:How are?
Speaker 2:we feeling.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm just thinking of like different scenarios too as well. Like what Like, basically like.
Speaker 1:You eat shit Like you're going to fall down.
Speaker 2:Just fall down the stairs, Bro let me tell you one thing those are some steep ass stairs.
Speaker 1:Let me tell you.
Speaker 2:I went up and I'm wearing heels. I doubt you're wearing heels and if you are, I'm more proud to you.
Speaker 3:However, I might wear boots.
Speaker 2:There you. I wore heels and Martin had to wait for me at the bottom to hold my hand because I would have eaten shit Like there's no way I would, they're so steep.
Speaker 1:Even when we practice, she almost ate shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because I was wearing the heels, because the girls they say to take your heels, girls, if you're graduating, take your heels to practice. So you like know more or less, like the stairs and all that.
Speaker 1:So I went to practice. I think it was that morning, was it that?
Speaker 2:morning and we had to line up in the back of the Save Mart Center.
Speaker 1:We had to line up in order. No, yeah well, we lined up with our partner. Oh, that's another thing we talked about.
Speaker 2:We did it in the morning, yeah, and then we went home. It was the day of, and then some people went to lunch with their friends and family.
Speaker 3:And then you got ready and you had to be back at like three, it was like early. Oh, okay, um, they might probably like give us more information about that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know about like our practice, like I was like well, if you guys are going to grad night, I would assume it would have to be like monday morning well, when is your last day of like school?
Speaker 3:that you get out may 31st, so we get like two weeks dang that's tight, and then when you guys go to grad, night in two weeks.
Speaker 1:Uh, after that, like yeah, like two weeks Dang, that's tight. And then when do you guys go to grad night In two weeks after that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, two weeks after that, that's cool.
Speaker 1:So you get two weeks off and then you go to grad night, then you come back for graduation.
Speaker 2:Hey, more power to you?
Speaker 3:No, I think it's like one week.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's one week oh one week.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so like that Friday when we get out on the 31st, then it's like a week from then and then that's when we go to grad night.
Speaker 1:That's tight.
Speaker 2:I like that. Yeah, I like that system.
Speaker 1:Ours was two weeks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we went to grad night like two weeks before graduation and then we started to go to school. Yeah, like our last day of school was like the day before graduation or something like that. But they changed all that because they changed all the start times and stuff. Yeah, um, no, that's cool wait.
Speaker 1:So what color is your capping gown?
Speaker 3:uh, blue like all blue, like navy blue yeah, it's um it's on the invitation.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you saw it when we went to your mom's oh, oh, but that's the actual capping gown.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's the actual capping gown, yeah, and then his tassel is red and white.
Speaker 3:Red, white and bits of blue.
Speaker 1:Bits of blue. Okay, nice, are you the first class of Justin Garza?
Speaker 2:Yeah, like all the way through.
Speaker 3:That's cool Because sophomore year I started. That's cool because um sophomore year I started. That's cool like we started like uh with freshmen and sophomores yeah and then after that next year.
Speaker 2:Then it was like um juniors, sophomores, and then um freshmen and then they added and then obviously you guys are seniors, yeah, okay, so you're the.
Speaker 1:So you're the.
Speaker 2:He only missed freshman year, yeah.
Speaker 3:I went to, but it wasn't finished freshman year right.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 3:No, it was online. I went to East. Oh, that's right, COVID yeah so I did my classes over at East.
Speaker 1:That's fucking wild.
Speaker 2:That's crazy, huh.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's insane.
Speaker 2:So do you get to pick a walking partner. So do you get to pick a walking partner. Are you walking by yourself?
Speaker 3:Or how does that work? That's what I'm trying to figure out.
Speaker 1:He's trying to take applications. Who wants to walk with me?
Speaker 3:No. I think I have someone in mind. I don't know if he wants to go. It's one of my childhood friends that I knew since, like kindergarten, even before, I think it was like friends with mom and dad, oh, okay, cool. So how was it with you, uh, when you went to college?
Speaker 1:when I went to college. Yeah, I didn't want to go. I didn't want to go, bro. I think we remember that.
Speaker 3:I mean uh you went to madera, no, or?
Speaker 1:yeah, I was yeah because I think I talked about this before yeah I didn't, I didn't want to go, and it wasn't until, uh, jeremy, jeremy kept pushing you kept pushing the issue yeah and I was like big dog. I am not, I'm not meant for these books. You feel me like. I have not meant for this. Uh, but I was extremely, extremely nervous because I was never good in school, I was never good at anything other than like math, math.
Speaker 1:I was fucking I'm incredible with, but then everything else, like I really didn't care. It was very much of like I'm passing with the c or with the d, I don't give a fuck you know, somehow I ended up graduating with over credits. I'm that much of a genius.
Speaker 1:But I was nervous, uh, for college because I didn't know what to expect or what to do, and really I didn't know what it was going to be like. I was like, fuck, if it's going to be like high school, all over again, it's just like I'm going to be struggling bad. Let me tell you, man, that shit is not like high school. That shit is so much more smoother, easier and it's very much on you to put in the work to do it. I mean, at the end of it is just like you know, you, you trade in going to school, like right now, like from kindergarten to uh, to high school. You go in for like nine hour days of teaching someone's, teaching you a lesson, giving you homework and all that, and then, you know, get tested on all these different subjects. But in college it's very much different. It's just like, okay, you're only here for an hour and then you have however much like a week long to finish up your homework or whatever it is, and it's clearly on you to finish it.
Speaker 1:College is very, very difficult to be like oh, there's no room of. Like hey, I need some help, or it's very much on you. If you need the help, you gotta go find it yeah, if you are struggling to your teachers yeah, but other than it's super laid back, it's much on you and it's very simple to do. I mean all the homeworks that I was assigned.
Speaker 1:I even had classes that didn't even assign homework and all that mattered was to score good on the test. That was all your grade my first semester all A's. I never got all A's before.
Speaker 2:It's very different from high school in the fact that, like no one's going to beg you to turn in your work.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Like they're not going to beg you, like, oh my God, you have this many missing assignments, like no, like you have missing assignments, that's your problem.
Speaker 1:And then I don't know if, like teachers were like this with you, but they were like this with me is like oh, when you go to college, you need to have cursive writing.
Speaker 3:And if you go, if, if you keep missing assignments, college would drop you and suspend you and all this other like they used to be like, so implemented on like college is such a if you don't do it right, you're you're, you're gonna get kicked out yeah, some teachers are like a little bit uh, not not as much now, but like yeah so like none of that shit existed when I was in college.
Speaker 1:In college it was so much of like hey, you either do it or you don't. If you fail, that's on you. You already paid for the classes, yeah it's not.
Speaker 2:It's almost fun though, because like you don't not that they don't owe you, like you don't owe them anything and they don't owe you anything but like you have to find that, like you have to fit it in, like it really shows if you want to be there or not, like you'll know after the semester whether you're for college or not for college. Because if it's like, if you're dragging and you don't want to do it, then like maybe it's not for you, but if you like really keep it going and like, stay on track, and that's the other thing. Thing is like stay on track, like they'll accept late work most of the time, but do not fall behind, because once you fall behind then it's hard to catch up, and then you're doing double work and like it's just harder to catch up. So if you're, if you can, to the best of your ability, stay on track with what the teacher has.
Speaker 2:That way you're done in a not stressful time um, yeah, because we have.
Speaker 3:Um, I call him my cousin. I don't know about them, but like I call him my cousin um. He's also doing mechanical, like the mechanical uh engineering and um like I saw, like how big the textbooks are. Like um like this big dang and I'm just like I, I could, I could put in that work but, like um, hopefully like I'm.
Speaker 2:I am like um, determined and dedicated to yeah, you know doing that and that's all that matters. Half the battle showing up half the battle.
Speaker 1:Showing up 90 of the 90 of the battle is just to show up the other 10 works itself out literally it'll be fine, it's.
Speaker 2:It's scary the first week because you don't know where you're going, you don't know where your classes are, you don't know what your teacher looks like. Like all of that, but and then also like you're not the only new freshman you know yeah, there's so many people yeah, there's so many people that are going to be lost that just you figure it out so it's kind of fun.
Speaker 3:But uh, what about like textbooks though? Like?
Speaker 1:every.
Speaker 2:Everybody has different textbooks every teacher is different I've had professors that have their own textbook and they're like you got to buy this one, so they'll usually tell you that they'll usually release the syllabus like a week before school starts and then it'll say on there if a textbook is required. And if it is required, then it'll tell you what textbook yeah, um, but there are a lot of classes now, especially at that do the I forgot what the program's called but where you don't need to buy textbooks and they provide all the text for you.
Speaker 1:The Trio. No, it's the. That's the first gen.
Speaker 2:It starts with an O. I don't know what it is, but some of them have.
Speaker 3:They're all online, though.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, Like even. What do you think your next year is going to look like? Like if May of next year May of next year you would already been through two semesters of college, Hopefully. What do you?
Speaker 3:how do you see it going? If all goes well, probably still pursuing, like, this career, probably deciding if I want to go with one career or with both of them. Okay, um, if it goes with both careers, then I'll just pursue that. Uh, hopefully get get to transfer to to a four-year. Probably still be working here with my dad. Um, probably here and there until like I can actually, like you know, work in like a, an auto body shop, yeah, but like, for now, let's just see how things go see how it goes yeah, okay, see, dios get it do you have any final words for Beto in his graduation year?
Speaker 1:I will say this no matter what career or whatever path you want to do, everybody has their support in it. Never feel disappointed that you got to switch or you don't know. You get confused. Never put so much pressure on yourself. At the end of the day, it's all about trial and error. Take my life, for example. I mean, I've taken a lot of l's left and right, you know, just trying to figure my shit out. Um, so don't ever get discouraged by thinking like, oh, like, this is what I want to do, and then you want to switch it up down the line because again, you it happens yeah, shit happens.
Speaker 1:And like you get, you get think of you, think about it and you're just like, maybe this is not what I want to do, maybe you know, things change.
Speaker 1:That's okay, as long as you continue having that ambition of I need to have something better, I need to do something better, um, and not continue doing what I'm doing. You know, and it's just like. That's okay, as long as you know what, what you want to do, and and accept that, hey, if this is what I wanted to go and do and pursue it, to give it your all, give it 100, 10, and if it doesn't work out, that's okay. You got to continue going, you know, even if it's the little setbacks, get back in the drawing board and figuring it out all over again, that's okay. Anyways, I'm proud of you, bethel.
