And I do remember one time getting one line that said at the bottom, Lily, you are the master of the family tale.

Master of the family tale.

And I like held that like, honestly, I mean, that just made me feel so I just didn't get a lot of, you know, really much attention academically, I would say.

And and then when I think when Euphoria came out or possibly Father of the Rain, my local paper, the Portland Press Herald, went and interviewed him.

And he said he'd gotten out his grade book.

He'd gotten out like, you know, whatever.

And he was like and we had kept in touch and he's a friend of mine.

But he was like, yeah, she was nothing special.

Literally nothing special.

She was very middle of the road.

She blah, blah, blah, blah.

Like he was not going to give me anything.

It was hilarious.

He went on to be heads of school and heads of schools and he...

He had a theory about leadership, which was this is our job to make sort of the unspecial become special.

So I know that I fit in to his, you know, his theories.

And so I tell myself that he actually did think I was a little bit special.

And also with creativity, you look at Yash who really wanted to be a writer.

But it was almost like his academic success held him back because he was too scared to fail.

So he didn't want to pursue it because he didn't want to fail first.
