Speaker 1: what to expect, um, But it was fun. It was

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: fun because at the end of the day, it's about

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: we came out here to compete, to learn and um,

11
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,000

22
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: into that. I don't think I really will yet, but

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: it's a special place, you know. After the practice, I

27
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: was able to you know, show love and and receive

28
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: love from special people. Practice yourself. I don't. I don't

Speaker 1: that's the same type of mentality I have. It's going

94
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: to take a great sacrifice for us to accomplish something special.
