They say, the absolutely, 338 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: you know something with that to eat and with all 339 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: the stuff going on right and the back stores, that's 340 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: where we're going to the other side of there is 341 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: something for everybody as what we get in our regular 342 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: general education, saying that they can some of the some 343 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: of the the highest paid restaurants in the world are 344 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: chefs and they're got just the ones that are in 345 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: the big restaurants that it wants to do a lot 346 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,959 Speaker 1: of testing and all that stuff there was that probably 347 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: prepared along with scientists, the food for the astronauts, forces 348 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: or what there gets a job, a responsibility or duty. 349 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: I love everybody and sometimes you just got to go 350 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: beyond your your your basic education. And that's why we 351 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: need to make sure that we keep fonds available for 352 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 1: these kids to going to these schools new but also 353 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 1: the university's college universities have to come up to hear. Also, 354 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: I don't know what they're doing right now. Years ago 355 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: I kind of new, had a general idea of what 356 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: the studies were and what was required this, se the other. 357 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: But I'm sure that things have changed now. If they 358 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: haven't changed as much, then they need to change much more, 359 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: come up to where we need to be technically, scientifically, 360 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: medically and all that other stuff. And so that's why 361 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: I agree to continue and I probably will always do 362 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: in some some way on some level, to always try 363 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: to help some young person and even some mature person, 364 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: because I remember there was a time I gave up 365 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: scholarships to to uh some young people, and that we 366 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: were at the ceremony and then I monted the young 367 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: people took part of their money and shared it. This 368 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: was a female of ethomerice Mane. She asked me though, 369 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: she said, MS paid, would you mind if I gave 370 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: half of my scholarship money to my friend? And she 371 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: has two kids and she wants to come to school 372 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: I ain't no problem with that. Almost broke with your tears. 373 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: Then by the same token, there was another young man 374 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: who was finishing up his last year, and he staid 375 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: at funds left, and he asked me it would be 376 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: all right if he passed his funds onto somebody's. It 377 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: just it just took my heart. You know, I don't 378 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: I don't ever ask anybody to give me anything back. 379 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: And maren't too much anybody could give me, because first 380 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: of all, God bless me with He blessed me the 381 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: ability to know the difference between rich and poort.

Okay, 494 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: you know, first, first off, when we u when we 495 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: got to notice that we had to lock down, I 496 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: was facilitating for a UM at the school program in 497 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 1: the arts and beated and and we were just getting 498 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: ready to do one. It delifi a tribute to the 499 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: old James. All my little people we were reading my 500 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: spools and made never had that, we never got a 501 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: chance to do it. And so the first hit I 502 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: got was I missed my kids, and I know they 503 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: missed me. And it wasn't just about the show. I 504 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: had been with these young people for like two years, 505 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: I think, not sin now as far as my immediate familys, 506 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: I missed them that that because I was on the 507 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: schedule with them. Now my immediate family, my husband is 508 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: a respiratory fair, so I spent play time praying for 509 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: him to be shaped at the hospital him and all 510 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: the other medical professionals, but also prayer you can bring 511 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: it home to me. But also I prayed for my 512 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: daughter who worked in the county and she couldn't stop 513 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: work right there like that minute. But she did eventually 514 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 1: come home. And my granddaughter, of course was under age, 515 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: so she hadn't stayed there. I stayed home. They stay 516 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 1: stay home, So I basically, for the most part, I 517 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: stayed home. Whenever I needed something, my daughter will go 518 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: out for me to get it, or I started ordering 519 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: stuff to order and to bring it to my house. 520 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: I became the Queen Amazon, wal martin Target, and everybody 521 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: else that was the Sam Club. Everybody I ordered into 522 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 1: the huts and then of course I said up there again, 523 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 1: like about ten pounds, like everybody else. But the way 524 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: I handled it was that I tried to follow the 525 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: science and what people were saying, and the way my 526 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: husband was feeling when he would come home, like looking 527 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: at he was gonna drop dead at the door, you know, 528 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: pulling off all his stuff, dropping it in a special bag. Well, 529 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: of course they don't come home with that stuff, but 530 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: that in the has mat suit. But dropping this stuff 531 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: in a special bag and washing this blows step. And 532 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: then we have We tried to be We tried to 533 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: use the caution that we knew we had to use. 534 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: We also used the mindset because even though we're strong 535 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: and healthy, there are a lot of people that I'm not. 536 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: That's why I can't understand why nobody wants to wear 537 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: were not nobody, but a lot of people get upset 538 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: about wearing the mask. I'm just gonna be upfront with 539 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: everybody about this. I've suffered from a fear and I uh, 540 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: I had an ape.
