Boy, it really was like a profound moment in my life.

Because I remember thinking in my head, what am I doing here?

Repeating her question.

And then, yeah, what am I doing here?

It was like just the empowerment I needed.

I felt like people thought I was crazy for thinking that I had some potential.

In this moment, I was like, yeah, I don't know what I'm doing here.

That's what I've been trying to tell people.

I actually went from like a CD student to like a straight A student, like almost overnight.

And I took summer school classes.

I joined so many things like plays, you know, I did musicals and everything.

I just, something just erupted in me at that point where all this stuff just bumbled forth.

And I was like, I love learning.

I love everything about this.

And thank you for giving me that opportunity.

Finally, school system that never gave me the opportunity before.

It wasn't like a white bulb.

It was like a volcano erupting.

A volcano of human potential that had been dormant.

And they said, hey, we have to just go to the choir room and pick up something.
