00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:07.920
I wanted to do computer graphics.

00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:11.240
I wanted to be a graphic designer and when people found out

00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:13.320
they laughed at me you know all

00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:14.790
these things and I'm like man I don't

00:00:14.790 --> 00:00:16.920
care i think it's cool and you know I'm

00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:21.560
learning a lot and some my friends have jobs!

00:00:21.560 --> 00:00:23.460
But you know, I think you just have to....

00:00:23.460 --> 00:00:26.070
you know how it is with peer pressure and

00:00:26.070 --> 00:00:28.109
being an adolescent you just have to

00:00:28.109 --> 00:00:30.029
fight through those things and and just

00:00:30.029 --> 00:00:32.250
get the kids started some kind of way

00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:35.070
and I think it's very important to be

00:00:35.070 --> 00:00:37.680
able to learn the language of coding and

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:40.230
programming and, and be able to make

00:00:40.230 --> 00:00:42.059
something out of nothing.

00:00:42.059 --> 00:00:44.370
I know it can be intimidating a lot of

00:00:44.370 --> 00:00:47.520
things are intimidating but you know

00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:48.690
what isn't?

00:00:48.690 --> 00:00:51.629
If you want to to be successful and if

00:00:51.629 --> 00:00:53.579
you really want to achieve a lot of

00:00:53.579 --> 00:00:56.219
things in life is not going to be easy

00:00:56.219 --> 00:00:59.370
and it's it's okay to be smart you know

00:00:59.370 --> 00:01:01.590
I always struggled with that growing up

00:01:01.590 --> 00:01:04.290
and I just want kids to know that it's

00:01:04.290 --> 00:01:06.840
okay to be able to speak intelligently

00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.549
to read and write correctly because

00:01:11.549 --> 00:01:14.100
you're going to be grown and you're

00:01:14.100 --> 00:01:16.110
gonna need a job and things are gonna

00:01:16.110 --> 00:01:18.360
you know you're gonna have to call on

00:01:18.360 --> 00:01:20.100
the skills that you built as a kid so

00:01:20.100 --> 00:01:22.950
it's okay to be you know who you are

00:01:22.950 --> 00:01:24.870
and be smart.
