He didn't say that to my brother who were very two different, you know, children.

Yeah, you got to figure that out.

But my parents told me I could do things, you know, and then at a very young age, this is where representation matters at a very young age.

I, in high school, was dating a hockey player who was my age, was playing for the WHL team in Portland and got drafted.

So when I was 17 years old, I saw an 18 year old get drafted in the NHL.

And in my mind.

Somebody my age did something really hard that required a lot of work, but he made it.

And him making it and seeing that happen in a counterpart of mine gave me the courage to go, I'm moving to California.

You did it, I can do it.

So you have to have both.

You have to have encouraging parents and you have to have the means to be able to pursue the things that you want to pursue.

But you also have to have representation and see other people around you succeed that are your age or that you identify with or that look like you.

That's important, too.

So important.

It starts with teachers too, right?

Kids need one good teacher.

Yeah.

It's crazy how small we are.

Yeah.

Yeah.
