You know, I hey I was the kid, I left sixth grade.

I I left my school district.

I went to a different school district in seventh grade.

Nobody knew me, you know.

So guess what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna be the normal kid, right?

Like I'm gonna I'm I'm not I'm not gonna be I'm not gonna get any services.

I'm not gonna claim this.

I'm gonna I'm gonna pass as normal.
