What are you most proud of? Matthew? Mullen? David? Oh, I am most proud of...actually that was a pretty hard question. There's many things to be proud of. I guess one is not dropping out of high school. You're a junior. Well, yeah, but like, it's...I mean, it's not like it came across my mind. It's like something I could have done. It's come across my mind. Oh, well... School is draining, right? Yeah, school is draining. Just wait until junior year. Oh, okay. What's draining about it? I mean, I can't really...I guess just...lives, you know? Yeah, like taking your classes? Yeah, it's...I mean, it's not like I'm taking all AP, all DC, like other people, but... Yeah. It's still draining. It's a lot of work, yeah. You have to think...it's kind of like a lot. Yeah. And also you have to start thinking about college. Yeah, junior year is when it all starts. Yeah. I'm just...I don't know. Because I know last year was like, ooh, end of junior year is so far, senior year is so far. Yeah, but it's not that far. It's not that far at all. Yeah, I get that. Anything else that makes it stressful? Uh, I guess just trying to balance, like, my extracurriculars. Yeah. Yeah, like, what do you do? Theater? Yeah, theater, and then right now track, but... Oh, you're in track? Mm-hmm. How's that going? It is going, you know? Get it? Yeah, it is like going. Going because you're running? Yeah, yeah, I get it, but I also did, like, cross country in the fall, and that was... Yeah. Also, like, because I was actually missing, like, whole school days because of that. Oh, that's fun. Yeah, it was fun. We went to Galveston. Oh, that's fun. Did you go to the beach? Yeah, we went to the beach. No, the race was on the beach. Oh, but then you could stand on your toes. Yeah. Oh. Yeah, it was something. Are you proud of the standing your toes? Eh, I think the sand was proud of me. Okay. Yeah, the sand... Okay. No, but... Yeah, it was just trying to balance my schedule, extra curriculars. Yeah, I get that. Anything else that makes it stressful? Uh... Girls? Boys? Others. Others? Uh, not really. Oh. Oh. Well... I mean, what about you? Do you have anything that makes it stressful? Hey, I'm interviewing you here. Okay. Yeah. Is there anything else that makes it stressful for you? Um, not particularly. I mean, there's the whole... It was just, like, UIL, I guess. UIL. Yeah, UIL. Yeah, I get that. Yeah. Especially with, um... Our dear, dearly beloved Brock being gone. Yeah. And hi, Brock, would you listen to this? Please don't. Okay. Uh, there's also... Um, all the after school stuff that we have with our extra curriculars. Uh-huh, and like... Yeah. There were... I guess also just... Um... The SATs, that was a bit stressful. Oh, how did those go? I think I did pretty good. I'm probably still gonna retake it. I'm gonna take it again in, like, two years or something. Yeah. Because, you know, I'm gonna try to get the highest score as possible. Yeah, totally. But I definitely like it, how it's online and not... Uh... Not... On paper, like... Yeah. The PSAT was last year. Yeah. The paper PSAT was not good. You don't... You like online more? Well, yeah, I like it... I just like it more because, you know, it... You don't have to read entire stories, it's just short paragraphs. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Totally. I get that. Because you never took that PSAT on paper, right? No. Yes, I have. Oh, you have? When I was in fifth grade. In fifth... fifth grade? Yes. Just for fun, or... For my little college program. All right, were you in college academy, or... I was in fifth grade, and then I got... Wrong to, like, do tips, which... It really didn't do anything, but it just allowed me to take the PSAT. I didn't do too much. Oh. Well, you were in fifth grade. Yeah. Yeah, you were in fifth grade, so... Yeah. Um... The... Fifth... Fifth grade, that seems like so long ago now. Right? Like, it's kind of crazy. Yeah. I remember, like... Because, like, my elementary was, like, the one just right over there. Yeah. What was it? Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I know, I remember just looking at Wayne. I'm big. That's... That's so long. You're, like, saying, that's so big. Yeah, that's big. I won't be there for years. Right? And then guess where we are? Mm-hmm. And I remember the, uh... There was a, like, elective thing, where they bussed us all here, so we got to watch... Like, see the electives. Yeah. Funny thing is, there was no theater. Really? It was just all the music. Really? Yeah. That's crazy. No one did anything for theater. That's crazy. I just chose theater anyway, because I don't, like... I don't want to learn an instrument. Real. I chose, um, art. Mm-hmm. I'm not really... Artistic. Yeah. I... I liked art. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. I, uh... I... Made this, um... Like, drawing. Yeah. For, like... Remember, like, how they, like, had... Were you proud of it? Yes, but... I was told it looked like a... A demon cat. Oh! That's mean. Yeah. That's mean. Uh-huh. I mean, looking back on it, yeah, they were 100%, right? What grade were you in? Like, third, I think. Third? Yeah. Yeah. No, because, like, you know those stained glass... Yeah. Like, windows? Yeah. I tried making, like, a cat look like that. Oh, I see. But then it just... It didn't turn out. It was 2D, yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Well, I'm surprised. It was, like, for those... It was for those... Ones where, like, you... Draw it, and... The school sends it off, so you can get it on, like, shirts and stuff. Oh, yeah. We did that one. I don't know why we did that every year. Yeah. I would not want my little kid's drawing. Respectfully, it probably wouldn't be good. I'd rather have my drawing. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, that's, um... That's a pretty valid statement, though. Yeah, well, are you proud of it? Are you pretty proud? I was proud of it at the time. Now you're not proud of it? But think, like, now that Demon Cat has gotten you to life, it led you to life. I mean, sound. No, life. It led me to tech. It led you to tech. It led me to tech. It led you to theater. Mm-hmm. Because you knew that you couldn't do art. That's funny. Yeah. Yeah, since, like, I wasn't doing music, or, like, a band orchestra. Yeah. I was doing art. It led you to where you are now. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Inspirational talk. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
