It's definitely not something I want my son to do.
So when I first started out in politics, I started out as โ so I joined the military at 19.
I paid my way through college.
I wanted to be a doctor.
So I got into a med school program at SU in Grenada.
And I was supposed to go to that.
And then I kid you not, like the day before I was supposed to leave, I got recruited to work for a nonprofit to basically help lead out Hispanic activism nationally.
And I thought that's how I could make a difference.
And then I realized that as part of that job, they're putting me on television.
I had a booker.
And so I was talking about stuff happening, but it was more more the commentary on inflammatory things.
I actually wanted to address what was happening with human trafficking.
And I actually requested the State Department's report.
I was a big activist with that.
I was working with a nonprofit at the time.
And I realized that they only wanted me to talk about what was getting them the ratings.
And so I did realize, I was like, well, they keep, though, talking about what people in D.C.
So if I want to change the discussion, I have to go to Washington to do it.
