A senior this year. There was 8 of us dont live together. There is a 3 bedroom house. There was a lot of the economy head and everything. My parents, both, they both had lost their jobs. It was kind of hard for us to even like my life. Even though im still free and reduced lunch now and always have much my little brother house free and reduced lunch and there was my sophomore year and i was 15. I was on a journey with our kids. And coming back from there, i just started noticing that i was feeling different all the sudden like youre either believe or youre pregnant and i was like, i dont think im bullying big like i had all the time. Like, well ive watched a pregnancy test and i was like, i dont like that or. And so i go the pregnancy tests and they came out positive then just kind of the mom one told me what any other parent would say to their kid. Just going to be fine. Were going to get through this. No matter what happened. What am i going to do . How am i going to finish school .
I think one of the worst things as a kid is what you want to do. Its not what you want to do. Its why do you do the things you do . You could design a life that is focused on your watch being aware of work as a way of expression. People ask me what motivates me every day and i look, im just being me. I started my company because it was an expression of myself. I am just painting on a canvas, but i think if we can teach them that think of their work and their life as a place to express themselves and then dream what they see themselves becoming. Having that strategic mistake makes you think more long term rather than the short term what athletes are told to picture making the shot before they take the shot. And i think that the same thing is true for the rest of us. We have to picture what our goal is, is looking like and not just pick an arbitrary goal, but what do we want our life to look like . And then create a plan to get there. And we can help kids do better, but its in their own
