It's the motivational minute 60 seconds of awesome sauce starting right now.

Well, hey, our little miracle baby graduated the first grade, and there was a point in time where literally our daughter Susan, who was born at one pound, and had a trache and on a ventilator.

I'd never heard her voice.

I never heard this girl speak.

My wife and I, nobody ever heard her voice

until, I mean, what was she three, four years old? We're like, oh my God, I can't imagine what her voice

sounds like because she had that trache in her entire, you know, first three years of life.

And now she graduates to first grade. She got the superstar reader award. She had a 98.

98. Now, all the credit goes to God. And I believe who is a saint,

my wife, Angela, who teaches her every day, virtual school, sits with her every day, six hours a day

since last August up until just recently a few days ago when school ended. And some of the

hardest things, man, that you're going to go through are going to be the most rewarding. I mean, this has been a journey. I'll spare you all the details and everything that happened along the way and how difficult it was. But the reward is just, I don't know, I don't know anything better. I just don't know anything better that a daughter, our little girl, who was given just a couple hours to live when she was born, has now graduated the first grade. And she's a superstar reader. Her math skills are amazing. She can read an entire book and tell you the theme back. And the whole point of this is that you're going to go through some just crazy struggles, man. I mean, unbelievable, you're going to wonder when the hell is this thing going to be over, you know?

The truth of the matter is it's never going to be, quote, over,

but you're going to be able to look back and see the growth in you,

in whatever project you're in, whatever adversity you're in.

You're going to look back and say, wow, wow.

Holy cow. That was absolutely worth it now you're you're going to think it's worth it when you're in it but you're going to look back and say that was

absolutely worth it so stay in the game baby stay in the game and let's have a day to day and that's a wrap
