A responsibility?

Yeah, I see that as a very important responsibility.

And I find that very fulfilling as well, though.

Like the fact that I have this role and I try to fulfill it and I have reached levels of success that I never, ever in a million years would have thought I'd be able to.

So I don't take any moment for granted.

And I really love it.

Impact.

That's what matters to me.

When I hear about Chipotle unionizing, and in the article they talk about how they met over and bonded over their mutual appreciation for myself.

And I'm like...

That's it.

Because that's my goal.

My goal is that my goal isn't just to yell in a room and have hundreds of thousands of people watch.

My goal is I yell in a room by myself.

I'm going to do that whether people are watching or not.

caring about right like something they care about and then you're going to hear that you're going to internalize that and you're going to take matters into your own hands you're going to go and you're going to organize you're going to go and run for local office and win and start the change that that is necessary for um start become the change that is necessary have your parents absorbed that you're a modern teacher that you're doing the same thing they do you're just doing it in a different classroom

Yeah, I think so.

I think to a certain degree, but I'm too brash for them to recognize that.

So I think it's hard.

But yeah, I mean, especially during COVID, like my mom was doing, you know, Zoom teaching, like remote education, which is ironically the exact same thing that I was doing, you know?
