1
00:00:05,853 --> 00:00:08,481
Hey, everybody. I'm Doug and that's Connor and

2
00:00:08,481 --> 00:00:11,518
this. Is the Bethel School District presents podcast.

3
00:00:11,835 --> 00:00:15,015
1 way student voice. It's coming to the

4
00:00:15,015 --> 00:00:15,515
forefront

5
00:00:15,968 --> 00:00:16,468
in

6
00:00:16,778 --> 00:00:17,278
Jiffy

7
00:00:18,528 --> 00:00:20,278
but... Oh, sorry. Was I doing that out

8
00:00:20,278 --> 00:00:20,437
loud?

9
00:00:21,869 --> 00:00:24,672
Connor, I cannot concentrate with. It's you're singing

10
00:00:24,672 --> 00:00:27,386
a little hack brother. Sorry. I I apologize.

11
00:00:27,625 --> 00:00:29,243
I have had that song

12
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:30,200
Bop

13
00:00:30,658 --> 00:00:32,988
stuck in my head. For, I know how

14
00:00:32,988 --> 00:00:35,063
long it's it's a curse. Have you ever

15
00:00:35,063 --> 00:00:36,340
had a song stuck your head? I know

16
00:00:36,340 --> 00:00:37,058
what to do to get rid of it.

17
00:00:37,298 --> 00:00:38,814
It's a curse, but the blessing is the

18
00:00:38,894 --> 00:00:39,713
Jiffy pop

19
00:00:40,331 --> 00:00:41,865
I think that's the somebody get weird out

20
00:00:41,865 --> 00:00:43,304
on the phone right now because he's missed

21
00:00:43,304 --> 00:00:45,785
an opportunity. I have... Actually, I'd say the

22
00:00:45,785 --> 00:00:47,625
last song that was stuck in my... It's

23
00:00:47,625 --> 00:00:49,388
still pops up from now and then it's

24
00:00:49,388 --> 00:00:51,609
uptown fun by Bruno Mars. It's for some

25
00:00:51,609 --> 00:00:53,512
reason. Uptown Folk gonna give to you. I

26
00:00:53,512 --> 00:00:55,257
suppose it does sometimes. Yes. So that would

27
00:00:55,257 --> 00:00:57,022
be the last 1 stuck. Is it about

28
00:00:57,022 --> 00:00:57,581
for you.

29
00:00:58,379 --> 00:00:59,257
And is is there a way can you,

30
00:00:59,417 --> 00:01:01,332
like, hold your breath? Can I? What can

31
00:01:01,412 --> 00:01:02,689
I do to get rid of this? How

32
00:01:02,689 --> 00:01:04,340
can I shake this curse

33
00:01:04,697 --> 00:01:06,920
I actually saw a documentary on this very

34
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,937
thing? It's sponge bob, episode. I forget the

35
00:01:09,937 --> 00:01:11,207
episode number we got looked it up called

36
00:01:11,207 --> 00:01:13,271
ear worm, and he goes through all the

37
00:01:13,271 --> 00:01:14,483
different ways you can get rid of near.

38
00:01:14,643 --> 00:01:16,081
Okay. I'm gonna have to check that 1

39
00:01:16,081 --> 00:01:18,158
out. Definitely do as with all sponge bob

40
00:01:18,158 --> 00:01:20,395
documentaries, it's definitely worth your time.

41
00:01:21,047 --> 00:01:23,190
Today, we have some special guests joining us

42
00:01:23,190 --> 00:01:24,778
in the studio and I think you should

43
00:01:24,778 --> 00:01:26,365
take this question to, Connor. This is a

44
00:01:26,365 --> 00:01:28,032
good 1. Absolutely. And we do. We have

45
00:01:28,032 --> 00:01:30,192
some students in the studio today, and 1

46
00:01:30,192 --> 00:01:32,099
way student voices coming to the forefront in

47
00:01:32,099 --> 00:01:35,277
our district is with the superintendent student leadership

48
00:01:35,277 --> 00:01:37,592
council. The group's made up of student representatives

49
00:01:37,592 --> 00:01:39,256
from all of our high schools, Bethel high,

50
00:01:39,494 --> 00:01:41,951
challenger, Gram Palace, Span way lake and even

51
00:01:42,030 --> 00:01:44,506
Bethel Virtual Academy. Students have the opportunity to

52
00:01:44,506 --> 00:01:46,731
provide firsthand perspectives, experiences,

53
00:01:47,128 --> 00:01:50,306
feedback, ideas, and thoughts about their educational experience.

54
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:52,557
And district leaders are gonna use their input

55
00:01:52,557 --> 00:01:55,033
to help influence district and school culture, engagement,

56
00:01:55,193 --> 00:01:58,343
policies, procedures and practices. So we are super

57
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,308
excited this week to welcome members of the

58
00:02:00,308 --> 00:02:02,057
super superintendent student leadership counsel to the show.

59
00:02:02,216 --> 00:02:03,488
So to get us started, why don't we

60
00:02:03,488 --> 00:02:05,794
go around the horn? Introduce yourselves, tell us

61
00:02:05,794 --> 00:02:07,169
what school you go to

62
00:02:07,559 --> 00:02:10,666
And more importantly, what's the last song you've

63
00:02:10,666 --> 00:02:12,260
had stuck in your head. My name is

64
00:02:12,419 --> 00:02:14,332
Caitlyn, and I go to Span away Lake

65
00:02:14,332 --> 00:02:16,022
and the last that's been stuck in my

66
00:02:16,022 --> 00:02:18,176
head is been like this by Doj cat?

67
00:02:18,575 --> 00:02:20,331
My name is Jay Grant. I go to

68
00:02:20,411 --> 00:02:22,007
Bethel Academy me and the last 1 that

69
00:02:22,007 --> 00:02:23,459
was stuck in my head was I can

70
00:02:23,459 --> 00:02:24,897
do with the broken heart by Taylor Swift.

71
00:02:25,297 --> 00:02:25,696
I'm Jamal.

72
00:02:26,735 --> 00:02:27,295
I go to Grand,

73
00:02:28,094 --> 00:02:29,292
and the last song that was stuck in

74
00:02:29,292 --> 00:02:31,210
my head is breed by Nirvana. I've heard

75
00:02:31,210 --> 00:02:32,582
1 of those songs. But I know they're

76
00:02:32,582 --> 00:02:35,374
all very popular. So the superintendent student leadership

77
00:02:35,374 --> 00:02:37,687
council is a super big deal. It's the

78
00:02:37,687 --> 00:02:39,521
first time this district has brought together a

79
00:02:39,521 --> 00:02:41,037
group of students in this way. In fact,

80
00:02:41,276 --> 00:02:43,434
you all have photos hanging on the walls

81
00:02:43,434 --> 00:02:45,177
over in the Es right next to the

82
00:02:45,177 --> 00:02:47,237
school board members. So kinda big time in

83
00:02:47,237 --> 00:02:47,395
it.

84
00:02:48,108 --> 00:02:50,108
Let's cut right to the Chase how important

85
00:02:50,108 --> 00:02:52,495
is hearing the voices and experiences of students

86
00:02:52,495 --> 00:02:54,642
when it comes to drafting new policy and

87
00:02:54,642 --> 00:02:56,409
changes in the district at our school start

88
00:02:56,409 --> 00:02:58,169
with you, Marco. It is extremely important,

89
00:02:58,810 --> 00:03:00,969
drafting new policies and including students has gotta

90
00:03:00,969 --> 00:03:02,889
be the most fundamental thing and in making

91
00:03:02,889 --> 00:03:04,865
a policy. You can't have a policy without

92
00:03:05,303 --> 00:03:07,698
thinking about the students or, considering how it

93
00:03:07,698 --> 00:03:08,576
would affect the students.

94
00:03:09,294 --> 00:03:10,810
A lot of policies that are created. I

95
00:03:10,810 --> 00:03:12,885
feel sometimes they aren't even thought about fully

96
00:03:12,885 --> 00:03:14,887
through it shows it looks good on a

97
00:03:14,887 --> 00:03:17,109
piece of paper, and doesn't perform well actually.

98
00:03:17,268 --> 00:03:20,125
So I feel like it's detrimental. Yeah. Absolutely.

99
00:03:20,363 --> 00:03:23,078
And it's supremely important that we include students

100
00:03:23,078 --> 00:03:25,222
in all of these processes is because these

101
00:03:25,222 --> 00:03:27,524
are students that are facing the decisions that

102
00:03:27,524 --> 00:03:29,686
these board members are making Caitlyn, what about

103
00:03:29,686 --> 00:03:32,395
you, how important is this process in making

104
00:03:32,395 --> 00:03:33,670
decisions for the rest of our school district?

105
00:03:34,148 --> 00:03:36,140
It's really important. A lot of the adults

106
00:03:36,140 --> 00:03:38,291
in the school district wouldn't be here without

107
00:03:38,291 --> 00:03:38,530
kids.

108
00:03:39,502 --> 00:03:42,155
Their whole job is supposed to be supporting

109
00:03:42,373 --> 00:03:44,149
a students. So I think

110
00:03:44,526 --> 00:03:45,026
without

111
00:03:45,563 --> 00:03:49,348
taking them into consideration, it could greatly affect

112
00:03:49,646 --> 00:03:52,201
the students in their their time with the

113
00:03:52,201 --> 00:03:54,835
school district. Absolutely. Jay, what about you? I

114
00:03:54,835 --> 00:03:57,411
think it's very important, especially because us students

115
00:03:57,964 --> 00:03:59,083
we're the ones in the school we're the...

116
00:03:59,322 --> 00:04:00,361
We're doing this stuff every day.

117
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,758
Some of us talk to the teachers. Some

118
00:04:02,758 --> 00:04:04,276
of us don't because we don't feel comfortable

119
00:04:04,276 --> 00:04:06,441
with those teachers. But once we all come

120
00:04:06,441 --> 00:04:07,791
together as a group and the students, we're

121
00:04:07,791 --> 00:04:09,221
so much more comfortable, we're so much more

122
00:04:09,221 --> 00:04:11,287
vocal. They give us our own time, We

123
00:04:11,287 --> 00:04:12,638
write down our thoughts. We talk to them.

124
00:04:12,797 --> 00:04:15,041
It's very important. Now we know you're working

125
00:04:15,041 --> 00:04:17,433
diligently on your upcoming presentation to the school

126
00:04:17,433 --> 00:04:18,868
board. We don't want you to tip your

127
00:04:18,868 --> 00:04:20,861
hand, but give us maybe some bigger broader

128
00:04:20,861 --> 00:04:22,615
topics and themes that you'll be discussing.

129
00:04:23,348 --> 00:04:25,421
The 1 I will be discussing mainly is

130
00:04:25,421 --> 00:04:28,928
mental health, connecting towards more suicide depression. It

131
00:04:29,247 --> 00:04:30,762
very close to my heart with some people

132
00:04:30,921 --> 00:04:33,014
I know. And I feel like in the

133
00:04:33,014 --> 00:04:35,814
past decade from stories I've heard, it's not

134
00:04:35,814 --> 00:04:37,834
talked about and it needs to be changed

135
00:04:37,894 --> 00:04:40,055
now. Yeah. And Marco, what about you order

136
00:04:40,055 --> 00:04:40,990
some of the things that you wanna talk

137
00:04:41,109 --> 00:04:42,782
the board about. Before I get started, I

138
00:04:42,782 --> 00:04:44,375
wanna touch on that because it's very important.

139
00:04:44,614 --> 00:04:46,288
I mean, you see this on the daily

140
00:04:46,288 --> 00:04:48,200
situations where people who don't even, face their

141
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,032
emotions for 20 to 30 years. So I

142
00:04:50,032 --> 00:04:52,985
think that's good that we're discuss mental health

143
00:04:52,985 --> 00:04:54,650
with the school board and just get that

144
00:04:54,650 --> 00:04:56,078
squared away on top because if you're not

145
00:04:56,078 --> 00:04:57,506
get mentally, you're not gonna do anything.

146
00:04:58,477 --> 00:04:59,992
But for me, I feel like the most

147
00:04:59,992 --> 00:05:02,066
important thing to touch upon with them is,

148
00:05:02,146 --> 00:05:02,305
like,

149
00:05:03,103 --> 00:05:05,756
bathrooms right now. It it might seem very

150
00:05:05,814 --> 00:05:08,064
minuscule and the broad topic of school, but

151
00:05:08,064 --> 00:05:10,145
it's the process to raise your hand and

152
00:05:10,145 --> 00:05:11,745
ask for the bathroom, not knowing what the

153
00:05:11,745 --> 00:05:12,384
answer is going to be.

154
00:05:13,264 --> 00:05:14,705
A lot of times maybe that you might

155
00:05:14,705 --> 00:05:16,464
even be single out for using the bathroom

156
00:05:16,464 --> 00:05:18,560
of but, you know, you never know what

157
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,900
someone's going through or what they have physically

158
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:21,759
limiting their,

159
00:05:22,879 --> 00:05:25,764
body ranges. So... I am really glad that

160
00:05:25,764 --> 00:05:27,507
you both mentioned mental health. And it's 1

161
00:05:27,507 --> 00:05:28,934
of the things that I really love about

162
00:05:28,934 --> 00:05:30,995
your generation is you're so much more open

163
00:05:30,995 --> 00:05:33,941
to the idea. Of speaking about your own

164
00:05:33,941 --> 00:05:36,635
mental health. The older generations, my generation, that

165
00:05:36,635 --> 00:05:39,274
was kinda Taboo and I just love guys

166
00:05:39,424 --> 00:05:41,180
are able to talk about that and not

167
00:05:41,180 --> 00:05:42,937
have any stigma around it? Caitlin, what about

168
00:05:42,937 --> 00:05:43,975
you? What do you wanna talk the board

169
00:05:43,975 --> 00:05:48,306
about? Student teacher relationships, the teachers are the

170
00:05:48,445 --> 00:05:50,530
adults that students see every single day. They

171
00:05:50,530 --> 00:05:53,156
don't see board members. They don't see all

172
00:05:53,156 --> 00:05:55,623
the senior staff in the school district. They

173
00:05:55,623 --> 00:05:58,512
see teachers. So if their relationship with teachers

174
00:05:58,512 --> 00:06:01,408
is not positive, it can really be detrimental

175
00:06:01,468 --> 00:06:03,625
to how they do in school. Yeah. Absolutely.

176
00:06:03,879 --> 00:06:05,950
Such a huge component of schools of teachers.

177
00:06:06,269 --> 00:06:08,580
And and we are talking a lot about

178
00:06:08,580 --> 00:06:11,129
areas where we can find improvement in the

179
00:06:11,129 --> 00:06:12,723
district because that's a lot of what you're

180
00:06:12,723 --> 00:06:14,333
trying to do is over come areas that

181
00:06:14,333 --> 00:06:16,568
need to be helped. But there are some

182
00:06:16,568 --> 00:06:18,643
places where we are succeeding. Can you all

183
00:06:18,643 --> 00:06:19,920
talk a little bit about places where you

184
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,437
think we're doing a good job whether in

185
00:06:21,437 --> 00:06:23,688
your building or strict wide, Mark will start

186
00:06:23,688 --> 00:06:25,366
you. I think the good thing that we're

187
00:06:25,366 --> 00:06:27,923
doing is inclusive in this right now. We

188
00:06:27,923 --> 00:06:28,403
have a lot of,

189
00:06:29,442 --> 00:06:31,175
celebrations, meetups ups, assembly

190
00:06:31,612 --> 00:06:33,678
Yeah. Definitely. That sounds cool. What about you,

191
00:06:33,837 --> 00:06:35,824
Jill? And and you, I should say, for

192
00:06:35,824 --> 00:06:37,970
those who forgot Jl is going to Bethel

193
00:06:38,129 --> 00:06:40,218
Virtual Academy. So you have a different perspective

194
00:06:40,218 --> 00:06:42,135
on this, you are not in a building,

195
00:06:42,375 --> 00:06:44,612
but what are you seeing in your kinda

196
00:06:44,612 --> 00:06:46,345
daily class schedule that you like

197
00:06:47,258 --> 00:06:48,687
I can always say that I cannot speak

198
00:06:48,687 --> 00:06:49,402
for any other student.

199
00:06:50,196 --> 00:06:51,784
I can only speak for myself. But when

200
00:06:51,784 --> 00:06:53,293
they have calling is that teacher support,

201
00:06:53,928 --> 00:06:55,775
in the offers they have gave me. I've

202
00:06:55,775 --> 00:06:57,210
been able to front of the school board.

203
00:06:57,769 --> 00:07:00,480
I've spoken at national conference with them. They're

204
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:01,995
really nice. They help me a lot with

205
00:07:01,995 --> 00:07:04,003
all the issues I've had this year. And

206
00:07:04,003 --> 00:07:05,778
all the ups and downs. But if like

207
00:07:05,915 --> 00:07:07,986
communication with me and, like, making sure I'm

208
00:07:07,986 --> 00:07:09,101
good and my family's is good and all

209
00:07:09,101 --> 00:07:10,296
that. So that's 1 thing I'm really grateful

210
00:07:10,296 --> 00:07:12,288
for the teacher's type Bb. Nice. And Caitlin,

211
00:07:12,367 --> 00:07:12,845
what about you?

212
00:07:13,660 --> 00:07:15,819
Well, I do running start. So I'm only

213
00:07:15,819 --> 00:07:18,139
at the school for 1 period, but based

214
00:07:18,139 --> 00:07:20,540
on we did a survey. So based on

215
00:07:20,540 --> 00:07:23,350
the survey that we got back about student

216
00:07:23,350 --> 00:07:26,064
teach relationships. It came back that a lot

217
00:07:26,064 --> 00:07:27,362
of students are really,

218
00:07:27,740 --> 00:07:30,469
happy with their relationships with their teachers. And

219
00:07:30,469 --> 00:07:31,688
so they made me

220
00:07:32,067 --> 00:07:33,365
really happy that

221
00:07:34,064 --> 00:07:35,981
at least my school is doing a good

222
00:07:35,981 --> 00:07:36,801
job at

223
00:07:37,992 --> 00:07:40,704
making those connections with students and fostering a

224
00:07:40,704 --> 00:07:42,777
environment where they feel welcome. Yeah. And it

225
00:07:42,777 --> 00:07:45,808
is amazingly important to have good teachers that

226
00:07:45,808 --> 00:07:47,978
can kinda make or break someone's anyone's educational

227
00:07:47,978 --> 00:07:51,015
experience. Marco, you already have school board experience.

228
00:07:51,334 --> 00:07:52,932
Your voice was heard at a recent school

229
00:07:52,932 --> 00:07:55,305
board meeting and there, you shouted out superintendent

230
00:07:55,425 --> 00:07:56,785
Tom Siegel for the work he's done in

231
00:07:56,785 --> 00:07:59,425
our district over the past 2 decades.

232
00:07:59,824 --> 00:08:02,064
Tell us about that moment. Kinda isolated moment

233
00:08:02,064 --> 00:08:03,664
for me to even do that, reach out

234
00:08:03,664 --> 00:08:05,831
and say, thank you to someone I've never

235
00:08:05,831 --> 00:08:06,387
met before. But,

236
00:08:07,181 --> 00:08:08,690
Todd heard about Tom Siegel because he made

237
00:08:08,770 --> 00:08:10,279
Pierce County skill center, and that's where I

238
00:08:10,279 --> 00:08:12,583
tend. But, 1 thing that was more important

239
00:08:12,583 --> 00:08:14,172
to me to actually shout him out for

240
00:08:14,172 --> 00:08:16,096
was fact that he created that, or he

241
00:08:16,096 --> 00:08:18,348
went against the odds to create another kinda

242
00:08:18,405 --> 00:08:19,997
institute that you still have to go to

243
00:08:19,997 --> 00:08:21,430
school for. Like, the whole idea. I've never

244
00:08:21,430 --> 00:08:22,957
heard of it before. You go for 2

245
00:08:22,957 --> 00:08:24,310
classes and then you go somewhere else for

246
00:08:24,310 --> 00:08:25,822
the rest of your day. Yeah. Shout out.

247
00:08:26,061 --> 00:08:28,130
Skill center, what an amazing place to to

248
00:08:28,130 --> 00:08:28,710
kind of

249
00:08:29,244 --> 00:08:32,774
prep students for life after graduation... I've heard

250
00:08:32,774 --> 00:08:35,095
stories about Boeing or Tory showing up and

251
00:08:35,095 --> 00:08:37,834
offering students jobs before they've even graduated

252
00:08:38,134 --> 00:08:40,068
and my these are not minimum wage jobs.

253
00:08:40,228 --> 00:08:42,785
These are, like, almost 6 figure jobs for

254
00:08:42,785 --> 00:08:44,463
someone who just graduated. So it's amazing that

255
00:08:44,463 --> 00:08:45,981
we can have out opportunities like that. And

256
00:08:45,981 --> 00:08:47,475
it's awesome that you're able to kind of

257
00:08:47,673 --> 00:08:49,185
experience that and see if that's something you

258
00:08:49,185 --> 00:08:49,583
wanna do.

259
00:08:50,537 --> 00:08:53,162
Speaking of graduating, we do have 1 upcoming

260
00:08:53,162 --> 00:08:55,469
graduate here, Caitlyn, you're gonna be graduating in

261
00:08:55,549 --> 00:08:55,867
June,

262
00:08:56,519 --> 00:08:59,807
So congratulations on that. What are your plans

263
00:08:59,865 --> 00:09:01,777
for after school you do right to college?

264
00:09:01,937 --> 00:09:03,450
You're gonna join the workforce? What are gonna

265
00:09:03,450 --> 00:09:06,438
do? Yeah. So I'm graduating with my Aa

266
00:09:06,576 --> 00:09:09,128
also, so I'm gonna be transferring to P

267
00:09:09,128 --> 00:09:12,079
you, and I'm gonna be studying political science

268
00:09:12,079 --> 00:09:14,563
and hopefully, music as well. That's cool. And

269
00:09:14,563 --> 00:09:16,073
and what kind of music you into? So

270
00:09:16,232 --> 00:09:17,503
I play the Clear net. So it's a

271
00:09:17,503 --> 00:09:19,569
lot of classical music, what I'm gonna try

272
00:09:19,569 --> 00:09:20,602
to get back into jazz.

273
00:09:21,253 --> 00:09:23,239
Nice. And so we have 2 musicians here.

274
00:09:24,113 --> 00:09:25,861
Marco, you're also a musician. You're not a

275
00:09:25,861 --> 00:09:27,450
senior, so you're not gonna be graduating this

276
00:09:27,450 --> 00:09:27,529
year.

277
00:09:28,418 --> 00:09:28,655
First,

278
00:09:29,369 --> 00:09:30,796
I'm sure you've thought a little bit about

279
00:09:30,796 --> 00:09:32,223
what you wanna do after you graduate? We

280
00:09:32,223 --> 00:09:33,412
talked a little bit about that. What are

281
00:09:33,412 --> 00:09:34,760
you thinking? And what are some options? And

282
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,998
then what kind of music you Well, options

283
00:09:36,998 --> 00:09:38,350
outside of high school is just going into

284
00:09:38,350 --> 00:09:39,861
the workforce. Like I said, I wanna work

285
00:09:39,861 --> 00:09:41,133
for a union specifically.

286
00:09:41,531 --> 00:09:44,568
So Boeing or Tory or Dan court. Any

287
00:09:44,568 --> 00:09:47,432
of those aerospace machining shops, I'd be more

288
00:09:47,432 --> 00:09:48,784
than happy to go to. I, like, working

289
00:09:48,784 --> 00:09:51,011
with my hands and everything I'm wearing right

290
00:09:51,011 --> 00:09:53,490
here, and Pierce kinda skill center, it's just

291
00:09:53,490 --> 00:09:54,682
setting me so I can go there.

292
00:09:55,874 --> 00:09:57,860
For the music that I'm into, it's very

293
00:09:57,860 --> 00:10:00,182
obscure. I mean, it ranges from, like, the

294
00:10:00,182 --> 00:10:02,730
slow type of black metal to anything to

295
00:10:02,809 --> 00:10:03,924
R and b if I'm feeling it.

296
00:10:05,277 --> 00:10:06,711
I just... I play all over the place.

297
00:10:07,284 --> 00:10:09,044
And so is that... That... That's what you're

298
00:10:09,044 --> 00:10:11,845
interested in playing listening both? What where where

299
00:10:11,845 --> 00:10:14,245
you taking your inspiration from? I played country,

300
00:10:14,485 --> 00:10:14,725
rock,

301
00:10:15,365 --> 00:10:15,845
punk rock,

302
00:10:16,578 --> 00:10:16,977
metal.

303
00:10:18,253 --> 00:10:19,849
I play drums sometimes, so you can whatever

304
00:10:19,849 --> 00:10:21,683
tempo drums can fit in that play drums.

305
00:10:21,922 --> 00:10:23,438
Nice. And how long have you been playing

306
00:10:23,438 --> 00:10:25,591
music? Been playing hard for about a year

307
00:10:25,591 --> 00:10:26,091
and

308
00:10:26,483 --> 00:10:29,506
drums like 2 months. So, Jl, you're also

309
00:10:29,506 --> 00:10:30,938
not a senior, but what are you thinking

310
00:10:30,938 --> 00:10:31,893
about in terms of,

311
00:10:32,609 --> 00:10:34,519
after you graduate? What do you wanna pursue?

312
00:10:35,805 --> 00:10:37,392
I'm hoping to go for my business and

313
00:10:37,392 --> 00:10:39,216
marketing degree. I'll way to a bachelor's,

314
00:10:39,692 --> 00:10:41,993
and then, I'm launching a cosmetics business.

315
00:10:42,723 --> 00:10:44,797
And that's pretty much all and then making

316
00:10:44,797 --> 00:10:45,913
it up in the world against as for

317
00:10:45,913 --> 00:10:48,146
as I can. And then becoming a mo

318
00:10:48,146 --> 00:10:50,161
and a billionaire and start your own magazine

319
00:10:50,220 --> 00:10:52,707
and... You're right. Yes yes So what are

320
00:10:52,707 --> 00:10:54,462
what are your interest when you're not going

321
00:10:54,462 --> 00:10:57,275
to school when you're not envisioning your mo

322
00:10:57,493 --> 00:10:57,891
dreams,

323
00:10:58,450 --> 00:10:59,487
How how do you keep busy?

324
00:11:00,204 --> 00:11:01,640
That's how I do. I hustle.

325
00:11:02,213 --> 00:11:04,287
I don't play around. I'm doing something towards

326
00:11:04,287 --> 00:11:05,106
my own businesses.

327
00:11:05,563 --> 00:11:07,260
And and what what about cosmetics

328
00:11:07,637 --> 00:11:09,312
interests you? Like, what... Is that a... Is

329
00:11:09,312 --> 00:11:10,588
that more of a business or do you

330
00:11:10,588 --> 00:11:12,356
have a personal connection with Well,

331
00:11:13,310 --> 00:11:15,456
about for, like, 3 years at very bad

332
00:11:15,456 --> 00:11:17,761
skin, like, with contact dermatitis, so I could

333
00:11:17,761 --> 00:11:20,003
not wear any makeup and all that. Then

334
00:11:20,003 --> 00:11:21,358
this past year I was able wear makeup,

335
00:11:21,438 --> 00:11:23,032
and now I like the fun cool designs.

336
00:11:23,191 --> 00:11:24,786
And now my issue is, like, I can't

337
00:11:24,786 --> 00:11:26,540
find stuff with my... For my skin tone.

338
00:11:26,699 --> 00:11:28,470
It's too yellow and all that. And so

339
00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:30,230
I feel like, I have this... There's this

340
00:11:30,230 --> 00:11:31,670
perfect gap in the market where I can

341
00:11:31,670 --> 00:11:33,910
just fit right into. Yeah. I I love

342
00:11:33,910 --> 00:11:36,004
that you're already thinking about that. Thinking thinking

343
00:11:36,004 --> 00:11:37,362
about kind of where you can slot into

344
00:11:37,362 --> 00:11:38,961
the marketplace. You got a name for your

345
00:11:38,961 --> 00:11:40,500

349
00:11:46,717 --> 00:11:47,273
go to school.

350
00:11:48,226 --> 00:11:50,213
You're gonna say politics and music. That kind

351
00:11:50,213 --> 00:11:51,722
of... I don't know. That's that's all over

352
00:11:51,722 --> 00:11:52,914
the place. What do wanna do after you

353
00:11:52,914 --> 00:11:55,080
graduate college? I'm not really sure. I know

354
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,994
if I wanna get my masters. Maybe go

355
00:11:56,994 --> 00:11:58,908
to law school. I'm gonna have to figure

356
00:11:58,908 --> 00:12:01,062
it out. Okay. What's your passion? I've been

357
00:12:01,062 --> 00:12:02,737
playing Clear since I was in fifth grade,

358
00:12:03,056 --> 00:12:05,459
and I'm always practicing. The past couple years,

359
00:12:05,697 --> 00:12:08,322
I was really inspired going to different colleges

360
00:12:08,322 --> 00:12:10,311
and listening to those bands play.

361
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:11,857
And so

362
00:12:12,229 --> 00:12:14,686

363
00:12:15,082 --> 00:12:16,296

00:12:16,668 --> 00:12:19,143
all day every day. Nice. And Marker, you

367
00:12:23,121 --> 00:12:25,189
sound dope. And if fits in right. It'll

368
00:12:25,189 --> 00:12:26,701
be it'd be the only 1, I think.
