Yeah.

My mom grew up and she loved dance, but she couldn't.

pursue it.

My dad grew up, loved sports, but couldn't pursue it because their parents, my grandparents, wouldn't allow them to do that.

So when they got married and had kids, the one thing they decided was if our kids have a passion towards something, we won't restrict them from going down that route.

And so they've funneled so many resources into, you know, competitive basketball is expensive and we're an immigrant family, so we don't have that money, right?

And so they're literally interventions with our grandparents and grandparents

like my grandmother and then also their friends and they're like you're spending and wasting too much money on your kids playing basketball like that's not that's not okay you shouldn't be doing that that's a bad investment that's a bad investment like you're you're messing up your future and it's funny because once I made it to Harvard then these same parents came back and was like wait wait so what other sports can my kids play like fencing or what you know but even in Harvard it wasn't like you're gonna graduate and play professional basketball they're like you got a Harvard degree you're gonna graduate and you're gonna

We had borrowed from the house.

We had borrowed from Harvard.

No one would let us borrow anymore.

And then we had to borrow from family.

And so my mom and dad are like, they're in a very tough position.

And then my mom just has a little bit left in her 401k and gives it all to me and says, you got two years.

And if you don't make this work in two years, you got to go use that Harvard degree.
