I was raised in an old school boomer wasp family, which is similar principles to exactly what you've

described. Actually, my best friend is in Dan and we relate on this a lot, where it's like,

oh, you got an A, that's exactly what you're supposed to do. Why do you think? Why are you old?

Some kind of a work. Good job. Like, no, you're not getting $20 to go see movie with your friends.

We put a roof over your head. We pay for your education. We put clothes on your back and food

on the table. What more do you actually need? Get a job. And I did. I got a job from a very early

age. And I think that and it was, it was, you know, the millennial generations, the quote-unquote

snowflake, the participation trophies. My parents were really, really, really against that culture,

that shift in culture. So, like, my mom would constantly tell me, like, the world does not care

about you. We care about you, but the world does not care about you at all. So you have to be

focused. You have to be good. You have to work hard for anything that you have. I mean,

the importance of education and all these things that you've described.
