1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,520
see in every single thing that I'm doing, it's the push, right? It's this understanding that we need

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:09,520
to be scrappy, we need to be resourceful if we're going to change the status quo, if we're not going

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:14,480
to accept what was there before. And I do have to throw that caveat out there that this is year 14,

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:19,520
right? All of these things are iterative. I remember starting with this like frustration.

5
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:27,040
And the words I used to use in the early days was this premise that no child's starting point,

6
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,600
that every single kid, regardless of their race or socioeconomic status, had equal potential to

7
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,480
compete intellectually in our society. And as you can see, it's like a mouthful, but the essence and

8
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:41,440
the aura of it are still the same. So I want to just be encouraging too to the visionaries who

9
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:57,280
are starting out that it is an evaluatory process.
