I want to also just cover as we think about preparing for school. I'm just curious. So you had mentioned a little bit about hard skills. Is there was there any point in particular, like maybe in the first quarter, first mod or second mod where you were like, Damn, I really wish I would have really wish I would have had spent some time on this or something like that. I know it is something that has been said to me by other students. So I'm just curious if there was like a moment or if there was a specific thing that just jumped out that made you come to that conclusion.

Yeah, I'd say I found my my accounting class to be really difficult. My first quarter and it was interesting, we actually had a lot of accountants in my section. So they were acing the exams. And I was definitely scoring below the curve. So I remember the only class where we had pre -work was for accounting over the summer, and I glossed through it. And I know the professor had given out the name of the accounting textbook over the summer, and I hadn't bought it. And so I remember at that moment thinking, man, I should have just done some accounting over the summer, because then it would take away less time having to study. And I could focus more on recruiting, because I felt like I was spending a lot more time studying for accounting than some of my other classmates. And then in regards to statistics, I realized how important that class is. And I wish I'd taken some just like some easy Khan Academy YouTube videos just to brush up and re familiarize myself with the topic. And even now with statistics, I'm constantly going back to YouTube channels like Khan Academy, seriously, they're the best, they just explain these concepts in like very simple terms. So I wish I'd done a bit of that. You don't necessarily need to buy a certificate or pay a lot of money to do like a structured program over the summer before school. You can just find a lot of information out there, especially again, YouTube has been a really good resource for me, brushing up on maybe some of these basic math skills. Had I known all of this, I definitely would've spent more time doing a bit of self -study like this over the summer.
