We want to make it easy We already know college Applying to colleges for seniors is very stressful So if we can do it all in one day for the kid takes care of that they can move on and focus on that's good Wow, man and and and so you travel around and just bless, you know these families like you just blessed us We we try we try you know through the organization. I think that's dope man I mean education is key man. We've already you know We actually try to prepare Shimari from a very young age. She worked in this story ever since she was how old Let's welcome her Oh, yeah Little can you remember when you started? No She's been here her whole entire career and basically She's uh, I got pictures of her cleaning these cabinets when she I mean he's making sales Making sales cleaning stuff ever since she was a child. So this is a big big big plus man born Entrepreneur. Yeah that I worked didn't go in vain. You know what I mean? I prayed about you a lot of night So God is good man. And and even with Applying for colleges like he said it was very it's very stressful I saw firsthand of how stressful this is and Especially when you're trying to get a scholarship as well because I was one of those I got a scholarship just for basketball though when I was in college and I would always put into her like okay, get a scholarship get a scholarship and I would always ask so when are they replying and she was saying cuz she can't Notices that she's been accepted, but I'm like, okay, that's good. But what is this part coming? So that part was always the stressful part for both her and I not him He didn't care, but I always my faith. I feel like God's gonna provide I don't do no stressing if you stress you start to worship it So you got to be careful when you do that so we know already that look what happened today God always shows up and shows out so I don't even play with that So I'm not gonna I'm not gonna let my faith waver, but I do always remind her I said did you pray about it? Yeah, let's pray about it. We do we do do that. Yeah, and so Let me just say this to her While I got on the panel because it's hard to get on here. I'm gonna pay you your money You know I'm saying I'm not gonna say But and at any rate I'm also gonna say we proud of you, you know You basically from 95 to a hundred Dad already done my homework, you know stuff like that I got films in this store sitting in here when none of this was here Well, we were talking about you and you doing your grades. I sent you one last night Did you say that 95 to a hundred 95 to a hundred would always stress to it gotta be 95 to a hundred on All the grades and and that's been a thing that we've been pushing all our life And we never had to be on her. She's very self-motivated. She always gets her work done If something isn't done, she's a mom. I know I already I already got this. I'm gonna do it then, you know, that's the deadline I'm good. She schedules everything the way she's supposed to so she's very self-motivated. I don't have to worry about anything with her UT Austin man. That's that's big man You guys man. Thank you guys for coming out here today man. Thank you guys for, you know Showing respect and loving to our daughter, man. You know what I'm saying? We proud of her We glad to have y'all on on the team now, huh? I got a question. So we're gonna be putting our daughter in y'all's hands Okay, so what is it that we need to know or how can we be reassured as parents that you know, this is the right decision so With ut we do understand it is a It's like a family going to school. We understand it and uh the community at ut is very Family oriented, you know, we have faculty and staff that support our students um, whether it's through an organization research um Finding internships for our kids our staff are fully involved And as far as representation we have students from over 120 countries So you're gonna have a huge community at ut backing you up every step of the way Wow, not only that her studio art her going into studio art The college of fine arts has what's called the texas career engagement center That allows students to find it's basically the career services department But since we have 13 schools it'd be wrong for us to just have one So fine arts has their own business has their own We already have partnerships. We already create the network. So finding something for her to do after she graduates It's just a mirror walk in and asking for help. Wow Man, I tell you man, I just appreciate you guys man again. I'm gonna wrap this thing up, man I know you guys gonna continue to bless people. Y'all won't be uh, Hit no other place that's gonna rock out like we just rocked out each other This is boss talk 101 and we basically what a boss is talk And if y'all want to carry somebody else on the show to surprise them in a different way, just let us know That's right. Especially if they if they somebody that y'all like man, we would like Well, the survey and yeah, because it gets a lot of people to understand what you guys are dealing with It's a way off.
