00:00:03like to be honest I can’t see my
00:00:06backgrounds been that bad but saying
00:00:09that there’s a lot of people Michaels
00:00:10their backgrounds have been at work and
00:00:12like these are like not their life
00:00:14sciences but it’s one it’s of good times
00:00:17and it’s probably a better chance than
00:00:19most things that they could do
00:00:29I didn t think about my future all I was
00:00:32thinking about those white dudes become
00:00:34intoxicated that day I was in education
00:00:38but that was like I was hanging in there
00:00:41by the skin of my teeth so I won’t do
00:00:44nothing my father started to depress me
00:00:46that I knew that I was going to be if I
00:00:49didn’t do anything to my benefits and
00:00:51risks in my life not doing nothing ian

00:02:24fantastic because that’s the way they
00:02:26understand the produce they’re going to
00:02:27use in the kitchen but it’s much more
