Well, when I was a kid and I started My grandmother always said that what she wanted she wanted me to be able to play at Carnegie Hall and for those of you that I don't know you're not into music like Instruments and everything you're like music like that It's a it's a big deal to ever be able to play at Carnegie Hall But I probably won't be there in this lifetime, but that's okay But I got you never know you never know but I got out of it my senior year when I told my grandmother that I needed to focus more so on college applications and We're gonna keep those dreams alive exactly sure maybe one day, but yeah, right so number one What is number two? Um?

Yeah, I know a thing or two about law enforcement It's kind of in the family everyone in my family has served in a branch and then gone to be law enforcement But normally everyone is on the road I have no desire to be on the road. My best friend is on the road for TPD And my grandfather is like that's my other granddaughter And I was like lived through her because I'm not we need you here. Yes. So stay here. Yes. No, no All right. Well, that's number two. So number three Oh my fur babes.

I went to go steel second base only child super competitive There was no need for this, but I went to go steel second base and the mat was not up against the beaters Shut up. It wasn't against the bleachers So like when I hit the mat to stop it kept going and it kind of like slid, but instead of being a very wise 8th grader common sense putting my hands up to brace myself. I ran head first into the bleachers. I Yeah Cracks her eyebrow bone. I'm clumsy. You don't hear that every day. I run into a pole before but wait like head first You stole second base.
