I'm most proud of the good times and the bad times.
To say that, focusing on college.
The good times were great.
everything that comes with it, you're on a high mountain, you're on a high.
I would say I'm grateful for the bad times too, because in college you hit the lows of lows.
Like it's like in college we had,
we were on Pell Grant, so you get a financial aid, you get assistance, but eventually that runs out and you have no food.
You have no, you get a meal card, but once that meal card runs out, it's like, what do we do?
So it's almost like fend for yourself, but you're on a high because you just did great in this game, you won this game, and then you go to your dorm and you're just like, shit, I don't got no food.
So at the same time, it teaches you how to get through adversity.
And I'll call it the lows of lows was when I was in college.
And for me, it was 10 times worse because
I'm going through this highs and lows in college, but I got my wife and kid at home.
So what I mean by it taught me adversity.
Now, when I got out of college, I'm like, life is fucking easy.
There's nothing I could go through or nothing I went through that is not a breeze to me.
My wife said all the time, why you just make everything look so easy?
