Hi, this is Andrew checking in from central Oklahoma for Hello Nation. And a moment that really has stuck with me for a while is growing up in elementary school. We had this thing, it was a fundraiser, it was called, we would use these box tops and cereal boxes and other types of boxes. And we would put them all together and it would, we can use them to get like canned foods and canned items for people who are less fortunate with getting meals and eating on a daily basis. And as an elementary school, we all came together and brought tons of box tops to get food for people who are less fortunate, which I, that has stuck with me forever. And I really use that going forward to today, into today's world, because not everybody is as fortunate as I am to be able to do stuff like that and have it stick with them going forward. And if there's people in need, I always try to help them out, give them some money, give them some food. And I feel like that lesson has stuck with me, so.
