And I realized like when I was thanking him, I was like, I feel like teachers need to see this because I feel like teaching is such a hard. I don't know why this is emotional. Because it should be. They don't pay them enough. No, they don't. They are so... Especially for kids that have rough childhoods.

I was horribly bullied in high school. I had a really awful... My teen years were terrible. I ended up actually not even finishing my senior year. I went on independent study because I had to work full time to be able to afford to live. Okay? And... So like, this was like a 30 minute phone call that I had with him. And I was about halfway through it.
