--> 00:01:15,140 The difference between hard work and success is that hard work continues when the success 17 00:01:15,140 --> 00:01:16,840 does not happen, by A.J. 18 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:17,840 Griffin. 19 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,120 And now, a quote from another one of our favorite seniors, Kate. 20 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,040 I didn't peak in high school, I'm still out here getting cuter, by Jack Harlow. 21 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,600 Great quotes, both of them. 22 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,560 But before we start, here are some news headlines. 23 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,600 Spirit Week was so much fun and the costumes were amazing. 24 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:39,640 We had Spirit Day, Formal Day, Character Day, Pajama Day, Squad Day, such a large variety. 25 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:45,720 In original news, Thailand won gold, silver, and bronze at an Asian Gymnastics Championship. 26 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,720 It is definitely moving up in the ranks. 27 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,980 Harlem, in the Netherlands, may be the first city to ban most meat advertisements because 28 00:01:53,980 --> 00:01:57,080 of meat's excessive greenhouse gas emissions. 29 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,040 The ban hasn't happened yet, but may be enforced in 2024. 30 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,320 Alright, thank you for those headlines, Linda. 31 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:10,440 Now let's jump into our first segment with two high school seniors, Darren and Kate. 32 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,660 Lyon and Linda will be asking you both some questions about the subject of senior life. 33 00:02:15,660 --> 00:02:19,680 And I'm quite eager to hear your answers and some funny stories. 34 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,500 Remember guys, your moms and dads, maybe even your grandma is listening. 35 00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:27,560 So you may want to stay away from any self-incriminating stories, okay? 36 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,320 Alright, I believe Linda has our first question. 37 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,440 Welcome to our podcast. 38 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,000 Thank you so much for joining us. 39 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,000 No problem. 40 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000 So our first question for you two is how and when did you become friends? 41 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,820 Okay, well I guess I can kick us off. 42 00:02:42,820 --> 00:02:53,200 So I came to ICS eighth grade and I knew a lot of people from ICS prior to this from 43 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,520 church because my family had been attending EZB kind of my entire life. 44 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,400 So I knew, I saw a lot of ICS people come and go who came to that church. 45 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,400 So when I came to ICS I was like, wow I know a lot of these people. 46 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,880 I remember I met Kate once. 47 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,600 Yeah I don't think we particularly liked each other when we first met. 48 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:12,600 No, not at all. 49 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:19,040 I remember you were just talking about Black Panther and I was like, man this kid, L opinions. 50 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,680 Yeah, you were singing that, how does that song go, that Eiffel for- 51 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,680 I'm Blue Double DJ. 52 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,680 And I said to myself, wow he's so annoying. 53 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:33,080 I looked at this kid and I was like, wow when does this kid stop talking? 54 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,920 But so that was kind of our first encounter. 55 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,000 We didn't really become friends when I first came to school. 56 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,200 We met once prior to that. 57 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,400 So I was kind of like, oh this is someone who I don't think we'll be friends with. 58 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,840 But it wasn't really until ICS band concert. 59 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,640 I think you didn't have anyone to go with, right? 60 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,200 We were kind of asking around. 61 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,440 And I remember you asked me and you were like, do you want to go to the band concert with 62 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,440 me? 63 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,760 And I was like, what? 64 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,760 This guy? 65 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,160 I was like, I didn't even know ICS did band concerts. 66 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,440 But I guess my friend Austin was playing, I was like, it wouldn't hurt. 67 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,480 And we just ate dinner together and just ended up talking and we realized that our personalities 68 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,480 just clicked. 69 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,920 And we both ended up just leaving the band concert and just kept hanging out. 70 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,760 In fairness, I mean if Austin's listening right now, we did stay through your part, 71 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:20,760 bro. 72 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,840 We promised we heard your trombone. 73 00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:26,240 But yeah, we did leave early and just ended up hanging out that night. 74 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,560 And then I remember that weekend you invited me to hang over at your house and we just 75 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,640 started consistently hanging out every day ever since. 76 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:33,640 Yeah, good stuff. 77 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,000 Well, it sounds like Kay just asked you out on a date, honestly. 78 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,000 I did. 79 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,400 But here's another question for you guys that I can relate to very much. 80 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:49,120 My friends would know this, what is the dumbest thing you've ever done to impress a girl? 81 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:56,080 Okay, well, I'm sad to say that mine actually happened very, very recently. 82 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:01,200 I've done a lot of pretty dumb things to impress a girl. 83 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,400 But one that comes to mind is I was just hanging out with her. 84 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:10,000 And then all of a sudden her mom brings out a thing of grapes. 85 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,880 So I told her I was like, I bet you I could fit 35 of these in my mouth. 86 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,680 And she thought it was the stupidest thing ever. 87 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,200 She didn't even look at it at all. 88 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,680 She was like, that is dumb. 89 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,800 Like, why would you do that? 90 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,320 And I was like, no, like, watch. 91 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,760 I start putting them in my mouth and I get to 28 and it feels like my mouth is stuffed. 92 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,680 It feels like they're stacking down my throat. 93 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,200 And it was just like, for some reason, I was like, instead of spinning it out, I decided 94 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,520 to chew and swallow all of them. 95 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,120 So I was kind of dumb. 96 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,400 But as time goes on, like, I start feeling really sick. 97 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,760 Like my throat starts hurting. 98 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,480 I'm getting a fever and I'm like, oh my gosh, this can't be COVID again. 99 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,720 But this felt way different than COVID. 100 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,760 And one day I just started coughing uncontrollably and out came a full size grape. 101 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,760 This is like four days later. 102 00:05:58,760 --> 00:05:59,760 Four days later. 103 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,440 So for four days, there was just a grape sitting in my throat causing like inflammation. 104 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,800 And then I had to go to the hospital and I had like a nose infection from this. 105 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:13,240 And it was like I was out from school and it's like I missed things at school and it 106 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:18,040 all could have been avoided if I just didn't put 28 grapes in my mouth. 107 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,040 True. 108 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,320 How about you, Kade? 109 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,360 I mean, I don't think I've done a lot of dumb things to impress a girl. 110 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,760 I've done a lot of really smart things to impress a girl. 111 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:29,760 But, uh, okay. 112 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:35,280 I mean, I think the dumbest thing I've done is like probably just like doing stuff that 113 00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:40,280 I didn't want to in the first place, like watching shows, eating places that I didn't 114 00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:45,080 want to eat, like just doing things in general that I just didn't want to do it. 115 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,640 And like pretending like those things are like the best thing ever. 116 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:49,640 Oh yeah. 117 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,280 No, being like, they're like, so you like that show I recommended? 118 00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:56,160 And you're like, that was the best show I have ever seen in my whole life. 119 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,480 So you kind of lied. 120 00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,760 I like to call it a white lie. 121 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,760 I mean, you liked it because they liked it, not because you actually like it. 122 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,840 You know, you're like, there's a sense of pleasing someone else. 123 00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:10,480 It gives you something to talk about and it's like, you feel like you're making them happy 124 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,680 by showing interest in something that they care about. 125 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:14,680 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 126 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:15,680 For sure. 127 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,920 It's like, wow. 128 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:23,880 These Mexican Korean fusion tacos are so good. 129 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,560 They don't taste like garbage. 130 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,720 Moving on, what are your favorite memories with each other? 131 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,640 Well, I mean, this December, me and Darren went to Chiang Mai together and that was like 132 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:36,640 super fun. 133 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:37,640 It was amazing. 134 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,680 Like a load of fun, other than the fact that I had a near death experience. 135 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:43,680 Yes, we did. 136 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:44,680 Oh, you did. 137 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,680 I did. 138 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,000 I mean, kind of you did too. 139 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,000 Yeah. 140 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,000 I mean, so when me and Darren were in Chiang Mai, we had a hotel together. 141 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,200 We had a hotel room. 142 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:58,840 So we're sitting in there and Darren took a shower. 143 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:05,640 And when he finished, he didn't hang his towel up on the towel rack, as most people do. 144 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,240 He decided to hang it over the sliding glass door. 145 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:15,240 So when he pulled the door shut, he rolled the little wheel on the top of the shower 146 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,020 glass door over the towel. 147 00:08:18,020 --> 00:08:21,080 So the door got lodged. 148 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:26,680 And my dumb self trying to get in was not looking at the towel. 149 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,960 And as I'm standing there, like about to get in the shower and I'm trying to move the door 150 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,680 and it's not moving. 151 00:08:32,680 --> 00:08:41,320 And the whole glass door unlodges off of the shower and falls directly on top of me, shattering 152 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,880 into thousands of pieces. 153 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,280 I remember because I was on the other side. 154 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,920 I was just chilling in my room. 155 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,120 I mean, the same room, but I was just like on my phone and I just hear like a shatter. 156 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,120 And he's like, I'm okay though. 157 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,120 And I'm like, what happened? 158 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,360 And he's like, don't come in here. 159 00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,360 And I'm so confused. 160 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,040 I'm like, don't come in. 161 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,240 And then like we just walked downstairs to the, it was like a. 162 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:10,920 Well, first off, we opened the door and I have blood all down my back because a door 163 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,520 just shattered on top of me. 164 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,440 And I can't, all my clothes have like glass all over them. 165 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,600 So the only thing in the room that didn't have glass on it, cause the hand towel, the 166 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,560 towel was like already like soaked in glass too, was a hand towel. 167 00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:30,360 So I use a hand towel to walk across the hall to my parents' room. 168 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,600 And I'm like, we broke a door. 169 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,760 We go downstairs to the little reception room. 170 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,880 It's a tiny hotel and the guy is just like playing league of legends. 171 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,920 He's like, after my game, we'll change rooms. 172 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,800 He's like, yeah, let me finish my game first. 173 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,520 Did you need any stitches or anything? 174 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,040 No, fortunately not. 175 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,600 Cause the glass was tempered. 176 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:56,320 So when it broke, it didn't like shatter into like sharp pieces, but I mean, you know, glass 177 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,320 is still glass. 178 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,520 But I mean, besides that, that trip was really fun. 179 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,040 We went to like a water park. 180 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,680 We went to a waterfall. 181 00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:03,680 Yeah. 182 00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:06,700 I, well, I lived in Chiang Mai for nine years before I moved to Bangkok. 183 00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:10,520 So I, I still have a bunch of friends in Chiang Mai that I got to introduce Darren to. 184 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,960 So you get, you get to meet my past friendships. 185 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:14,960 And that was interesting. 186 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,880 I'd say, okay. 187 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:21,080 So for me, it's hard to narrow down a favorite memory because a lot of them actually happened, 188 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,600 you know, on that trip. 189 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,440 And one thing that, you know, we do is we're very involved in our group of friends, you 190 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,440 know, the boys. 191 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,160 So a lot of our great memories together involve so many other people. 192 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:37,960 But if I had to narrow down one, narrow down one memory that like, I guess, really like 193 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,160 touched me and our friendship was when I was going through like a really hard time. 194 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,000 And I remember he called me and he was like, we're going now. 195 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,200 And I was like, I don't feel like it, man. 196 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,640 Like, it's not today next week, maybe. 197 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,280 And he's like, no, I'm in front of your house. 198 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,720 So we go and we, he takes me out to eat. 199 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,720 We kind of talk. 200 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,120 It's like, you know, I'm still kind of sad because we're like, you know, we're talking 201 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,280 about, we're talking about serious stuff. 202 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,720 So it's like after I'm like, thanks for lunch, but I think I'm going to go home. 203 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,280 But he's like, no, we still have all day. 204 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,080 So he goes to the BTS lady and he just gives her, he just puts down money and he says, 205 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,600 wherever you say we're going, we're going. 206 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,200 So she's like, okay, two tickets to Sion. 207 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,600 So we walk around Sion Paragon and we end up in MBK. 208 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,280 So we're kind of just walking around MBK, messing around and there's a dance competition 209 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,280 going on. 210 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,280 Yeah. 211 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:30,400 So there's, there was a LGBTQ plus dance competition, K-pop dance competition. 212 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,880 So it was a bunch of like, it was a bunch of men doing K-pop dances. 213 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,360 So for like, I mean, there was at least an audience of what, like a hundred people, 200 214 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,360 people. 215 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:46,440 So it was a big stage and we were on the top and we could like kind of see from the bottom. 216 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,720 There was people watching around all over the mall, all floors. 217 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,400 We were at the bottom first and you were on my shoulders chanting the names of the band 218 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,400 members. 219 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,480 I don't even know how I learned their names, but then, you know, we kind of went up to 220 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,960 the top and there was one group dancing and they, you know, crowd was kind of quiet. 221 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,240 And as we were going down to escalator, we start dancing with them. 222 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,040 We're kind of just like bopping slash copying what they're doing. 223 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,040 And all of a sudden everyone starts cheering. 224 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,560 Everyone's going wild. 225 00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:15,160 And like these guys started getting pumped up because they're like, oh wow, like they 226 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,160 don't see us. 227 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,160 We're behind them. 228 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,280 So the dancers are like, yo, they love us. 229 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,360 We're a hit. 230 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:21,360 And we just thought that was funny. 231 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,160 But it's what happened later that made it even funny because like, I'm sure it happened 232 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,680 to you too, but like three days later, my phone was blowing up. 233 00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:30,160 I was getting so many DMs and I was like, what is this? 234 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,380 And someone sent me a video and she was like, is this you? 235 00:12:34,380 --> 00:12:37,680 And it was the video of you and me on the escalator and it was posted on TikTok. 236 00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:40,840 I don't know who filmed it, but it had like 2 million views. 237 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:41,840 So funny, bro. 238 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:42,840 Going viral, man. 239 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,360 Yeah, we went TikTok viral and it wasn't even our own account. 240 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:47,520 Unfortunately. 241 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:52,280 But the coolest part is that after the show, we got to go meet the guys that did the dance 242 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,280 competition, they took us backstage. 243 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,280 Yeah. 244 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,880 And we got to go meet the guys in the dance competition and they were like super friendly. 245 00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:58,880 Yeah, we actually have photos. 246 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,600 So if you listen to this podcast, DM us and we'll send those photos. 247 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:03,600 That's funny. 248 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,160 It's a very, very funny story. 249 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,280 I never went viral myself, but you guys never got credit for it, did you? 250 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,280 Like, no, none. 251 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,280 No, none. 252 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,280 Unfortunate. 253 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,600 But anyway, what has been your favorite grade so far? 254 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,080 First, second, third, fourth, or fifth? 255 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,080 I'm joking. 256 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,440 It's actually ninth, tenth, eleventh, or twelfth. 257 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,360 I mean, I think Darren's least favorite is definitely the tenth because I wasn't here 258 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,360 for that one. 259 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,360 Yeah. 260 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,640 I mean, every grade kind of carries a different sort of like vibe. 261 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,360 Ninth grade, you're kind of starting out. 262 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,560 I always say this in like a sort of joking manner, but tenth grade is kind of like the 263 00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:39,760 most irrelevant grade because like you're not an underclassman, you're not an upperclassman, 264 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,560 you don't necessarily think about capstone or college yet, you're kind of just like there. 265 00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:47,720 But like, you know, it's chill because like you know people and you've kind of adapted, 266 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,840 but you still haven't fully adapted yet. 267 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,960 I always say that like eleventh grade is the hardest academic year, but I think that eleventh 268 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,860 grade is when you truly kind of find like a lot more about yourself. 269 00:13:56,860 --> 00:14:00,280 You kind of find about like what you want to do, what you like, who you like, what you're 270 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,800 interested in, what sort of like field you're going to go in. 271 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,160 So I'd say like the upperclassmen years are really special. 272 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,800 Like eleventh and twelfth, like this year so far has been fun, last year was great. 273 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,840 But don't sleep on the ninth and tenth grades because you make a lot of memories and you 274 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,760 can get to know some upperclassmen too, which is really special. 275 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,600 How about you, Kade? 276 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,600 I mean, ninth grade was cut short because of COVID, so I did not like that year. 277 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,520 And then I moved back to the States and I had a lot of fun in the tenth grade. 278 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,820 I met a lot of new people. 279 00:14:30,820 --> 00:14:31,880 That was super fun. 280 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:36,640 But the eleventh grade was like, I would say would probably be my favorite year so far. 281 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,360 I mean, we had a full year of it. 282 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,520 I mean, to be fair, like it started online, but it did, it did. 283 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,680 But I mean, twelfth grade just started, so I can't speak for all of twelfth grade right 284 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,680 now. 285 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,920 I'm like knee deep in capstone. 286 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,480 So I'm not having like an amazing time at the moment. 287 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,360 But eleventh grade was probably my favorite year of high school so far. 288 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,680 Yeah, I think we like capstone and stuff. 289 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,160 But I often have to think to myself is this like, although it's super stressful and you're 290 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,960 like, I want to get this done, you have to remember that like when it's done, high school's 291 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,360 going to be done too. 292 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,960 And it's like, you have to remember that like, okay, this is a lot. 293 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,800 Work hard on this, but also like sit back and realize that like, I can enjoy myself 294 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:20,800 in midst of all of this. 295 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,080 Like I need to like enjoy the moment because if all I'm waiting for is for this thing to 296 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,320 be done, then I'm practically just waiting to graduate. 297 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:29,320 For sure. 298 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,200 Yes, eleventh grade was crazy, but it was a fun year. 299 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,680 Our next question is, what are some of your favorite accomplishments? 300 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,760 Anything in particular that you're really proud of? 301 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:39,760 What about UK? 302 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:40,760 I have no idea. 303 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:45,440 I mean, I'm not, I wouldn't say I'm like particularly proud of anything. 304 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,520 Like I feel like I've built some like great friendships and things like that. 305 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,840 Like I'm really happy with friendships I have and like, I don't know, I feel like I've developed 306 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,920 a lot over the last few years. 307 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,040 And I mean, I'm happy with that, but like, I don't know. 308 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,040 For me, you got anything? 309 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,040 Yeah, I do. 310 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:08,320 I've been involved in a lot of stuff at ICS and my most proudest achievement is Right 311 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,160 Track Club. 312 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,660 And I actually say that in all seriousness because like when I joined, there were just 313 00:16:15,660 --> 00:16:20,720 like three people running it and then just like me and another girl whose name was Gargi. 314 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:21,720 And like we didn't do much. 315 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,880 We kind of just like hung out and like the goal of the club is to like fundraise and 316 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,800 like help people like for specifically involving in education. 317 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,320 And I remember when those three graduated, they said like either this thing's done or 318 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,960 you and Gargi will be the next two people leading it. 319 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,240 And I called her and I was like, okay, we have to decide if we're just going to be like 320 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,360 nope or if we're actually going to try this. 321 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:49,240 But I was like, come on, like it's not, she was kind of like hesitant to doing it. 322 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:50,980 We didn't know each other that well at the time. 323 00:16:50,980 --> 00:16:52,640 And I was like, I think we should just give it a shot. 324 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:57,760 Like you know, like it was helped run by Mr. Tim and we know him pretty well. 325 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,160 So I was like, I think that I can get a lot of my friends to join. 326 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,440 Maybe you can do the same. 327 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:09,320 So we did, we did club fair online and we got about 15 people, but those 15 people consistently 328 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,640 came and they were really, really good people. 329 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,560 And we did a lot of good fundraisers and our goal at the end was actually fundraising for 330 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:22,760 this foundation called abundant life, which is an orphanage near Bangsan and Trinburi, 331 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,080 that area of Thailand. 332 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,560 So it was a lot of uncertainty about whether we'd be able to go there if we raised enough 333 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,280 money to help them. 334 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,360 But we actually managed to pull a trick together. 335 00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:33,880 So we all went there for a day. 336 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,840 We went swimming in the beach with no swimsuits, just a regular clothes. 337 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,640 And like everything went so perfectly according to plan. 338 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,240 And I was so proud of all my club members because like there was just so much love there. 339 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:50,280 And I felt like proud of myself because like I managed, I achieved this through like running 340 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,200 it, but like I was just so proud of everyone, proud of myself, proud of the team. 341 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,360 And like you can do a lot of things in school. 342 00:17:56,360 --> 00:17:59,320 You know, like I've been a part of a lot of the musicals and other things like that, but 343 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,160 it's kind of something else when like you've worked on a project and it just helps so many 344 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,160 people. 345 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,720 You can just see how happy they are. 346 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:06,720 For sure. 347 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,080 I mean, I think that what was so fun about that trip in particular is kind of like you 348 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,980 said everything went according to plan. 349 00:18:11,980 --> 00:18:13,960 I think nothing went according to plan. 350 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,400 That's why it was so awesome because like even though nothing was how we imagined it 351 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,860 or planned it to be, everything kept working out for the best. 352 00:18:21,860 --> 00:18:23,940 We didn't think we were going to the beach. 353 00:18:23,940 --> 00:18:25,480 We did go to the beach. 354 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:32,560 We were all in like khakis and like dress shirts and we were sopping wet in the ocean. 355 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,700 And we didn't plan to stay for lunch, but we ended up staying for lunch. 356 00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:40,920 We had a sketch planned, but minutes before we were supposed to do our play for the kids, 357 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,560 we were like, this play is terrible. 358 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,600 We're doing something else. 359 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,560 We had games planned, but there were more kids than we expected. 360 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:48,980 So we had to change the games. 361 00:18:48,980 --> 00:18:54,240 There was a lot of like uncertainty as we were finding out things weren't as they were 362 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,140 supposed to be, but everything just kept working out even better than we could have planned 363 00:18:58,140 --> 00:18:59,140 or imagined. 364 00:18:59,140 --> 00:19:01,520 Hey, we are done with this segment. 365 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,000 We're running out of time for this segment, but we will be right back in a moment with 366 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,680 the dynamic duel. 367 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:20,320 But first here's a quick announcement about rain in Bangkok. 368 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,760 The flooding in Bangkok intensifies as more rain pours down from the sky. 369 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,280 If you happen to walk through the flood, please watch your feet as soon as possible to avoid 370 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:36,080 any and all diseases. 371 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,080 And we are back. 372 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,480 If we had a little more time to load you, it would be quick. 373 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,240 Lion will start us off with this segment. 374 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,240 Hello, gentlemen. 375 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,840 I've got a very, very juicy question for all of you. 376 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,800 It's a, do you have any dating advice? 377 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,240 How has your experience been dating in high school? 378 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,520 There's I just know that this guy, right? 379 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,200 There's this friend of mine that always ends up making a new friend every time he asks 380 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,200 someone out. 381 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,400 So I think he'd really appreciate your advice. 382 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:57,400 Dating advice. 383 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:58,400 Okay. 384 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,560 I have some experience through this, of course. 385 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:07,000 And I would say that like, you know, always onto the next person. 386 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,000 No, not. 387 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:14,440 I'd say that like what I've learned is like, you should really think about it before you 388 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,640 get into a relationship with someone in high school, because it may not seem like a big 389 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:18,640 deal, but it kind of is. 390 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:23,720 When I was like younger, like kind of like ninth, 10th grade, I desired that like title 391 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,160 of like girlfriend, you know, like, I was like, oh, that'd be fun. 392 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:28,640 Like this girl I get to hang out with. 393 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,680 But like, it was kind of like the title that I wanted and the title I sort of like chased 394 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:33,680 after. 395 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,600 But then you realize that like when you get into certain relationships, it's just so much 396 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:37,600 more than that. 397 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,160 And there's like this commitment involved. 398 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,240 And like, I was like, oh, I like rushed into things. 399 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,280 Maybe I should have thought about like, so I would say is really, really think about 400 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:46,280 it. 401 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,600 So what I say helps me is make this person your friend. 402 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,000 Just hang out with them as a friend. 403 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,640 Become like a close friend with them. 404 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,880 Get to know them, get to know what they like, meet their friends. 405 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,120 And like, once you've hung out with them and you've like gained that friendship with them, 406 00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:07,560 any other like future like dating or like romantic aspects will only add to what you 407 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,760 guys already have together because you enjoy spending time with each other. 408 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,400 So like any future like, oh, like now we're dating. 409 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:14,400 Now it's more serious. 410 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,120 It just kind of adds on to what you already have and you can just build something strong. 411 00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:20,760 So build that foundation of trust and honestly just friendship. 412 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:21,960 And that's what's helped me the most. 413 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,640 And that's what's really like, you know, made me a lot happier. 414 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,040 I feel like the best advice I could give, like I feel like a lot of people are told 415 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,240 like, you know, like things don't work out. 416 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,240 So don't do it. 417 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,080 To be honest, I think there's a lot you can learn about yourself. 418 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,720 When you date somebody, there's a lot to learn about like what a relationship looks like, 419 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,480 like what you want, things that you want, things that you need, things that you decide 420 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,040 that you don't think are particularly important. 421 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,440 Not that you should get into a relationship simply for the fact of like learning about 422 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,480 yourself because that can, that can often hurt, hurt the person you're with. 423 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,280 But I mean, I mean, especially if you don't plan on like making it a long-term commitment 424 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,280 and maybe they do. 425 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:02,320 I think like maybe not don't, but like Darren said, really consider the fact that you're 426 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,760 committing a lot of your time to something. 427 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,880 Communicate with each other and figure out what you both want because often that doesn't 428 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,880 match and that's okay at the beginning, but that kind of like affects things a lot more 429 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:12,880 later. 430 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,080 So like before getting into a relationship with someone, kind of communicate like what 431 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,080 you want. 432 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,360 Like if you're looking for more long-term commitment, that's perfectly okay. 433 00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:21,200 But like you should both be on the same page. 434 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,200 Yeah. 435 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,560 I feel like in the beginning, you're also really, you're normally really excited that 436 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:25,640 things are getting started up. 437 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,920 So you often find yourself overlooking things or like, what's the word? 438 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,880 I know compromising your own values and morals and things that you, I don't know, care about. 439 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,240 And you're like, oh, that's fine. 440 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,280 Like I don't worry about that. 441 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,880 And then it's like Darren said, time goes on. 442 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:38,880 You decide like. 443 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:43,440 So I would say like have like constant, you know, obviously know what you do to want, 444 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:48,140 build that friendship, be comfortable in bringing up those conversations and have those throughout 445 00:22:48,140 --> 00:22:52,600 your relationship because that's kind of what like builds a strong relationship, especially 446 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:53,600 in high school. 447 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:58,120 When we're all experiencing things about ourselves because one advice that someone said to me 448 00:22:58,120 --> 00:23:02,360 that really sticks with me is a good relationship will make you a better person. 449 00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:03,360 I think Edgy said that. 450 00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:06,360 I did not think he said that. 451 00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:08,080 Yeah, that's true. 452 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,280 Friend of mine said that because like I've learned that through a good relationship, 453 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,140 you know, you start thinking more about like others, you like think about how you can please 454 00:23:16,140 --> 00:23:17,140 others more. 455 00:23:17,140 --> 00:23:19,780 Like it just helps you become more thoughtful in general. 456 00:23:19,780 --> 00:23:24,760 So really think about it, find that right person, wait for someone you can really care 457 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:25,760 about. 458 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:26,760 Yeah, I like that. 459 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,520 I like the advice of focus on that friendship, too. 460 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:30,520 It's really good. 461 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:31,520 Thank you for the advice. 462 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,200 And so this is your last year at ICS. 463 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,600 What will you miss the most about ICS after you graduate? 464 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,600 I'm going to miss I'm going to miss Darren. 465 00:23:40,600 -->

00:24:05,640 Just like my favorite thing about ICS is just like honestly just like how tight everyone 475 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,520 is just a community like the teachers here are such good teachers. 476 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,040 They really national community. 477 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,120 They know what they're talking. 478 00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:14,120 They know what they're doing. 479 00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:15,640 They're experts in what they're teaching. 480 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:22,200 I don't think I would be near who I am today without a lot of the help of ICS teachers. 481 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:27,520 The foundation no values at this school to where like they provide that safe space where 482 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,880 you can just be so open with them and like ask for their advice. 483 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,160 Life groups just like after school talks just like getting to know them like we hang out 484 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,240 with our

00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:31,040 I mean, I plan to I plan to go to school in either Georgia or Virginia. 505 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,040 I'm probably going to get a bachelor's in English and then from there transition into 506 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,520 a law program, hopefully become a IP lawyer. 507 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,000 That's exciting stuff. 508 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,000 Yeah. 509 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,800 So, for me, I plan on going to study in the Netherlands. 510 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:49,200 I plan on going into either an education degree or a creative business degree. 511 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,440 And I think that there I'll be able to meet a lot of new people. 512 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,520 A lot of courses are in English. 513 00:25:53,520 -->

00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:02,960 be interesting to be able to find myself living in a new environment. 516 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:03,960 For sure. 517 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,000 And what are our other future plans, Gabe? 518 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,000 All that stuff. 519 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,000 Oh, that's right. 520 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:14,080 So, with all that's done, Darren will finish
