But at this point, I had decided to turn it around and study.

I was motivated now to study.

And when I failed my first math quiz, I got tutoring, and I managed to get through it with a ton of tutoring.

And then I majored in psychology to avoid the math classes.

And I had some bullying even in college.

And one of the things that helped me was I think it was my junior year or so, there was a big variety show that my college put on.

I went to small college and only had 500, a few hundred students.

And I went in this variety show.

That they had, and I made scenery for it, and I sung a silly song.

That helped my social life a whole lot.

Again, that's a shared interest.

I can't emphasize that enough.

And then I went out to my aunt's ranch.

That got me up, but I was going out there even when I was in high school.

But I can't emphasize enough exposing these kids to enough different things so they can get interested in the things that could become a career.

My cattle exposure all started as a teenager.

Well, I then started a year towards a master's degree in experimental psychology.

That did not work out.

So I went over to the animal science department and ran into a professor named Philip Stiles.

I got to thank Philip.
