And I just think you should revisit the decision not to go.

I think you have a real gift for mathematics that you don't quite see yet. But I think, you know, I just think you should be open to the idea of doing something. And there was something about that. I mean, that undoubtedly planted a seed in my mind that over the rest of that year, I kind of changed everything.

That's how badly I was contused And so I feel insane gratitude again, like how many times could my life have ended and it's really funny I remember being in the hospital because I spent two days in the hospital after this one and I this neurologist comes in and he's like, oh, and by the way, the worst part of this story, Sean, I was already in university at this point.

He's like, I heard you're a smart kid.
