1
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:07,920
I wanted to do computer graphics.

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,240
I wanted to be a graphic designer and when people found out

3
00:00:11,250 --> 00:00:13,320
they laughed at me you know all

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,790
these things and I'm like man I don't

5
00:00:14,790 --> 00:00:16,920
care i think it's cool and you know I'm

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,560
learning a lot and some my friends have jobs!

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,460
But you know, I think you just have to....

8
00:00:23,460 --> 00:00:26,070
you know how it is with peer pressure and

9
00:00:26,070 --> 00:00:28,109
being an adolescent you just have to

10
00:00:28,109 --> 00:00:30,029
fight through those things and and just

11
00:00:30,029 --> 00:00:32,250
get the kids started some kind of way

12
00:00:32,250 --> 00:00:35,070
and I think it's very important to be

13
00:00:35,070 --> 00:00:37,680
able to learn the language of coding and

14
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,230
programming and, and be able to make

15
00:00:40,230 --> 00:00:42,059
something out of nothing.

16
00:00:42,059 --> 00:00:44,370
I know it can be intimidating a lot of

17
00:00:44,370 --> 00:00:47,520
things are intimidating but you know

18
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:48,690
what isn't?

19
00:00:48,690 --> 00:00:51,629
If you want to to be successful and if

20
00:00:51,629 --> 00:00:53,579
you really want to achieve a lot of

21
00:00:53,579 --> 00:00:56,219
things in life is not going to be easy

22
00:00:56,219 --> 00:00:59,370
and it's it's okay to be smart you know

23
00:00:59,370 --> 00:01:01,590
I always struggled with that growing up

24
00:01:01,590 --> 00:01:04,290
and I just want kids to know that it's

25
00:01:04,290 --> 00:01:06,840
okay to be able to speak intelligently

26
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,549
to read and write correctly because

27
00:01:11,549 --> 00:01:14,100
you're going to be grown and you're

28
00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:16,110
gonna need a job and things are gonna

29
00:01:16,110 --> 00:01:18,360
you know you're gonna have to call on

30
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,100
the skills that you built as a kid so

31
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:22,950
it's okay to be you know who you are

32
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:24,870
and be smart.
