About how, you know, I screwed a bunch of stuff up, but I decided, you know what, I want to see if I can do this because I just want to see.

No.

And they they went off to SEAL training.

And I'm like, that kind of fits my mold, you know, like I've kind of fucked some things up.

I'm on the straight and narrow now, but I don't know if I want to be a lawyer.

I kind of like the idea of the serve of going to the military.

And so I didn't really tell my parents.

I they knew that I was considering the SEAL teams, but not they didn't know how committed I was to it.

But in my mind, I was like, I'm gonna graduate college because I feel I feel like I I want to finish the thing I said I was gonna do.

I'm gonna graduate college.

And then I'm gonna go be a SEAL.

That's gonna be my new thing.

And so I began training for that.

I graduate college.

I go go to SEAL training.

It's such a departure from academia.

It's the opposite, it might as well might as well be.

Uh I I did well with like sudden and complete change, but I think I've also done well when there's something on the line.

You know, with uh with becoming a good student and graduating college, I think what drew me to that is it's binary.

Either you'll do it and you'll you'll prove everybody, everybody wrong, or you won't.
