And I absolutely did the opposite.
I did the opposite.
I started school, and I was like, this is not for me.
I'm already a manager for this place, this retail place, and I'm making more money than my brothers were as nurses when they first started.
I was like, wait a second.
I think I could do this.
I could run my own thing, and I decided that.
But when it came to my daughter, I did the same thing my dad did.
I said, no, you go to school.

Yes.
And it was like I gave her the same path that I hated that my dad gave me.
And but she ended up doing something and running with it and being extremely successful.
So I'm very proud of her.
And that's cool because like a lot of parents don't recognize what you could be successful in.

So I said, well, guess what, dad?
I might not be a nurse, but I'm in the medical field.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
