So I can't really disagree with that.

And to me, even when I took on jobs, I always felt people say, well, is it, you know, what point are you confident enough?

And I came to sort of believe, again, a theme of my beliefs that if I was willing to ask lots of questions and understood enough, that's all I needed to know.

So I met my husband when I was 19 years old.

So I was a young kid.

And I met him when I had a General Motors scholarship.

So I was at Northwestern University through my first two years.

I had a lot of loans, financial aid.

And a professor said, hey, you should sign up for this interview.

They're looking to bring forward diverse candidates through their management track.

Now, these programs don't exist anymore like that.

They will pay your tuition, your room and board, your expenses, Northwestern, other Ivy League schools, these very expensive schools.

And I think you'd be a good fit.

I am eternally thankful for that advice.

I went and I interviewed.

I actually got the scholarship.

I mean, without it, I'd have graduated with hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt.

So part of that was in the summer, I had to work in Detroit.

I lived in a little room by a cement plant.

Not theirs, but I mean, that's all I could afford.
