You know, they're coming into a new year. 58 00:02:32,385 --> 00:02:33,486 They're missing their friends. 59 00:02:33,486 --> 00:02:35,889 They've had great summers, hopefully. 60 00:02:35,889 --> 00:02:38,558 But some of them, the thing that I try to remind myself 61 00:02:38,558 --> 00:02:41,961 is that they don't have someone like myself in their life all the time. 62 00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,131 So when I'm at school and when I'm expecting these kids back, 63 00:02:45,131 --> 00:02:48,635 I'm really here myself up and after myself up to bring that positivity, 64 00:02:48,935 --> 00:02:52,438 to be that support system for them that, you know, they remind me all the time, 65 00:02:52,472 --> 00:02:53,540 I wish you were. 66 00:02:53,540 --> 00:02:55,742 Yeah.

We don't even know each other. 70 00:03:03,516 --> 00:03:05,685 You're my favorite teacher already. And I just met you. 71 00:03:07,887 --> 00:03:11,057 Just by holding yourself in high esteem, in high regard. 72 00:03:11,057 --> 00:03:13,293 Just as the person that you see in the mirror. 73 00:03:13,293 --> 00:03:15,895 If that reflects on everybody that you interact with. 74 00:03:15,895 --> 00:03:18,331 That's a real good point, too, because it's not being arrogant. 75 00:03:18,331 --> 00:03:21,434 You know, a lot of times I'll say I expect good each and every day 76 00:03:21,434 --> 00:03:26,139 when I wake up, not because of who I am, but because of who's I am. 77 00:03:26,806 --> 00:03:28,408 And I go throughout the day, each and every day. 78 00:03:28,408 --> 00:03:29,609 And and the thing is, 79 00:03:29,609 --> 00:03:32,612 when you speak highly of yourself, you're honoring the one who created you. 80 00:03:33,012 --> 00:03:34,247 And you have to be. 81 00:03:34,247 --> 00:03:37,817 Everyone needs to be very careful about what comes next after 82 00:03:37,951 --> 00:03:40,920 I am. 83 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,756 Two most powerful words it you say. 84 00:03:43,756 --> 00:03:45,258 That's right. 85 00:03:45,258 --> 00:03:48,394 So I'm sure you, you're able to teach that in school. 86 00:03:48,394 --> 00:03:52,865 Do you get in like your hands get tied in in terms of what you can say. 87 00:03:52,865 --> 00:03:54,100 You can't say spiritually. 88 00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:56,202 Well there's a curriculum that I have to teach. 89 00:03:56,202 --> 00:03:57,403 And I also understand that 90 00:03:57,403 --> 00:04:00,907 not everybody comes from the same mindset and background as I do. 91 00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:02,875 So I'm very careful about how I word things. 92 00:04:02,875 --> 00:04:05,111 I try to keep it very universal. Yes. 93 00:04:05,111 --> 00:04:05,845 Sometimes kids 94 00:04:05,845 --> 00:04:09,482 will want to take a deeper dive and ask me and I'll give them a little bit more. 95 00:04:09,816 --> 00:04:12,585 But, when you're dealing with sixth or seventh and eighth grade students 96 00:04:12,585 --> 00:04:15,822 and maybe they haven't really decided which way they want to go in life. 97 00:04:15,855 --> 00:04:18,157 I just try to lead by example. 98 00:04:18,157 --> 00:04:19,459 I can point into some books. 99 00:04:19,459 --> 00:04:21,728 I can point into some YouTube videos.
