just by pure kind of just chance. And I really enjoyed it. COVID hits, everything goes ape crazy. The school shuts down. They make cuts because of the teacher's union. All first year hires are gone. So that kind of left a taste in my mouth about unions. One of my first experiences with unions.

And so I started looking for another job and I found a school that specialized in kids with behavioral challenges. And this is kind of what I was alluding to at the beginning. There are things that I've not, I've wanted to talk about in these kinds of interviews that happen or when someone wants to discuss this, they want to discuss the video.

And that's how it felt. You practiced with that, have you? To say that you had an impact on my life, which is why this is surreal, to say you had an impact on my life would be an understatement. And we can get into that if you'd like. That was in graduate school. Okay. but I was feeling that in those conversations, trying to live up to something in a way.
