That's what I used to tell her all the time.

She's like, oh, Mel, you okay?

You know, because we come from very humble beginnings.

And I said that, but it really wasn't that I was going to be rich.

I just knew I was going to be successful.

Right on.

Right?

So I decided to, that when I started looking at what I wanted to do, I realized that I wanted to help people.

I've always been, just in my personal life, right?

I,

I definitely help people.

And my friends will tell you that, you know, we could be on the phone and one of them could just immediately tell me they have a problem.

And I'm already, as they're talking, they don't ask me to search it for them, but I'm searching it for them.

Or you're on the way they are.

Right.

I'm already on the way.

So my desire, my passion to help people is what led me to law, right?

Wow.

Because it gives me the opportunity to help people who in places or spaces that they're not able to help themselves most of the time.

So once I became a lawyer, that kind of gave me the platform to to kind of move into other areas that I've been wanting to move into because I had the income now.
