8:22

Mark PapadasGUEST

The, you know, when you go to talk to your, your guidance counselor and when it's like, you know, to a certain extent, it's like, you know, what do you want to do? What do you want to go to school for? And I said, I'd, I'd really, you know, I wanted to go to, I wanted to be a teacher and the guidance counselor's like, no, you don't.
