It's, yeah.
Oh, don't say that out loud.
Sure, sure.
I mean, I think that one of the things that can happen whenever there isn't a position already created, there isn't a position already established,
in place for someone, especially because of how young you are, you need a parent with you or something like that, the next thing to do is sort of create that position for yourself.
There are ways of creating a position out of a need that still doesn't fall into the place of like, I need my parents to take me and I have to be there.
And that is something that the online world has given us of being someone who even just
Maybe they do the outreach portion of answering questions.
Maybe they have a sit down with somebody who is an organization leader, and then that person may just not have the time to answer everybody's questions.
And so maybe they take over the email list and they email out, hey, we're doing this event on this day.
There are lots of ways like that.
I think that the...
The thing that you learn, at least from my experiences in entertainment, is that when there is not a place for you, you have to create one for yourself.
And so it will be a lot of trial and error.
But the efforts that you put forward now, especially starting so young, become the things that you know will or won't work in your future efforts.
And so I think that making that thing for yourself is perfect practice for...
filling the gaps and solving the problems that the adults haven't figured out yet you know because an adult like you would think i mean i'm not coming down on any of these organizations but you would hope that every organization no matter who you are how old you are like has something of like you can do this and and the fact that they haven't done that means that they are either
running ragged to the point of just being too busy to think about that sort of thing, or they haven't grown enough yet to have a position for everybody that wants to get involved.
And so that is also part of what it means to bring about a new position and fulfill it yourself that will, yeah, it just helps them exponentially because it's something they weren't thinking of.
Thank you.
