And so I'm just in a cubicle.
There's other like, you know, 10 other losers in school that are like in the school suspension.
And so I was given a day in in-school suspension for something.
And then they deliver your work that you're supposed to do for that day.
They collect all the assignments from your different teachers and put them in your cubicle.
And I was looking at it thinking, I don't know who they think is going to be doing this work.
I don't even do it when I'm out of in-school suspension.
And I thought...
Well, I guess I'll just head out of here because they keep adding days in in-school suspension.
Even if you were only in for one, if you don't finish your regular schoolwork, then they add another day.
So I was like, I'm never going to get out of here.
I'm just going to grow a long gray beard in in-school suspension.
So it hit me.
I was like, I'm going to head out.
I quit.
I'm done.
Yeah, except I'm old enough to drink.
Oh, my God.
You're just like, oh, I was stacking up debt.
It was a massive light bulb moment.
