school discipline we are we have a bill that I think we're getting close to to moving and then Senator Ron was kind enough to grow that all in the air no no not at all was kind enough to put in a bill related to school discipline and did you need to get that senator okay no do you have like a dollar jar I should Venmo you for sorry and so before we we take any steps it's important to try to see if there might be a place for this in s16 I know you've talked to Senator Sears and so with that I thought what we could do first if it works for your schedule Jim is just have Senator Rom tell us about the bill the genesis of it what you hope to do and to see if maybe there is a spot where we could place it given that we have just you know one more week after this to to handle work before crossover so with that senator Ron well thank you chairman campion and committee and I do appreciate you giving this kind of another look before passing it out and the chairman asked me to be very prepared to have lots of charts and graphs and studies at my fingertips in case people want more information but I'll just really start with the genesis of this and Jim was there for the play by plays I introduced legislation I believe starting in 2014 to try in the house to try and limit the use of suspension and expulsion as a behavioral tool you know being a new senator senator Sears and I started talking about collaborating on this issue very early on and we thought you know let's have one bill where we're we're co-sponsors of more of a you know study and let the schools and districts decide what to come back with and what makes sense for their communities and once and we had talked about how my being the lead on a separate bill that would really ask us to to call this to question a bit more and limit fully start limiting the use of suspension and expulsion as a tool and set and what we would call excluding kids from school as a way to manage their behavior once this study started moving I really didn't want to put out a whole separate bill that seemed to kind of contradict what we were asking the districts to do from outside of the state house you know it can be very complicated if you say we're putting this out as a conversation piece the few things that I just couldn't let go of and may end up deepening the study component in some way are the experience of suspensions and expulsion particularly expulsion of children under the age of eight and actually as I was doing my research and what became clear and clear is a lot of other states and maybe the committees looking at this as well are actually starting to look at the pre K experience of expulsion because pre K's without being regulated the same way as K through 12 education tend to expel kids at a rate about three times higher or more and within pre K's so within childcare centers and early education settings they are they are the racial disparities and other types of disparities are even worse so I have some studies that I could share with you to that end but the pre K to prison pipeline is a real thing that a lot of states are looking at but at the same time that would require a kind of more nuanced approach to this legislation to deal with pre K's so I my bill I believe with which does two things and one is call for us to stop expelling children under eight would then you'd probably be looking at the data from kindergarten first grade and second grade about how many students are separated from their school because of an expulsion the challenges the data that I have from the agency of education happy to share this chart with you is by grade so it starts with kindergarten and you will be able to see and I can share my screen if it's helpful for folks that about 10% of our separations from school happening kindergarten first grade and second grade and what's the quick question certainly truck this morning so by separation from school that is suspension and or it's both and all they tell you in these charts is the average number of days of the separation that even follows into high school so I'm sure by the time you get to high school they much more clearly breakout who got who got suspended for a day or a week who got expelled forever who got sent to a different school but what we is currently tracking is separation from school and the average number of days and so it's fewer days the average number of days is about one that kids from kindergarten to second grade are separated from school but it's not possible to tell which is suspension and expulsion and if you wanted to take more testimony on this particular issue either agency of education or an or in addition JDS from the ACLU are the ones who've been tracking this most closely J's on vacation but even from his vacation he helped point me to this chart so I could get you you know that specific information and one thing that he added is that it to based on their work and the we had this included in our 2014 bill to stop expelling children and at a very young age meaning separating them from the school environment excluding them from the school environment he would advocate that it's fourth grade and below you know that seems to him to be a pretty good cut off for a very young child who needs interventions rather than exclusion from school. You have a sense center around why students are being suspended or expelled from kindergarten. Please go ahead. Sorry, please go ahead. They have elementary school middle school and and and high school sort of broken out of like really in all cases about less than 10% and definitely an elementary school less less than 10% are violent in nature. It's it's a lot of behavioral issues disruption, etc. And then you know this the whole experience with the four to five year olds the kind of pre K issues. Many have to do with parents not being able to get their child to school on time. The child acting out you know exhibiting inappropriate behaviors but you know a lot of it and that relates to the second piece of this which is also encouraging the committee to study how truancy is handled around the state. We have some we have some you know counties that have said or districts or counties because it's a county level issue if it gets kicked up to the state's attorney as a kind of more criminalized issue. But we have some counties and districts that are saying we're not touching truancy at all in the pandemic. We have others that are very much you know calling on families to do better and still sending cases to the state's attorney. So if a school feels like they can't intervene in the appropriate way with a family or they have sent a certain number of communications out the case goes to the state's attorney's office. Now I don't always want to use Chittenden County as an example but they had a whole countywide task force to say is there any way we could stop criminalizing families for truancy. And so they looked at a lot of you know checkboxes and other and other things you need to do to offer wrap around services to the family before a case goes to the state's attorney and it's resulted in a much lower number of truancies that get advanced to the state's attorney's office. I have looked at other states. I have some of those charts and graphs available and where they have implemented statewide interventions pre before sending a case to you know the judicial system for truancy. They've seen an all you know cases of truancy that result in the criminalization of either the youth or the family. In Vermont we don't criminalize the youth. We're one of a handful of students that doesn't criminalize the youth but we still do potentially criminalize the family for truancy the parents or the guardian. And so states where they've stopped criminalizing the family as well and looked at ways to intervene in cases of truancy. They've significantly dropped the numbers of truancies the the days missed of school. The you know really intervened in the appropriate ways into what that families might be in crisis or might be lacking some key resource that helps them get their child to school on time. So those are the two pieces. Sorry to jump around but no no it's it's helpful and I appreciate you being here and having a discussion with us since we are you know timing you know we're not there but you know we would like to start to advance some things and I know this is something that the pro tem is interested in and others you know school discipline in general particularly as it relates to if you will minority students you know and students disabled students but one of the things I'm wondering I mean trying to get your sort of thoughts on is so if I'm speaking honestly I worry a little bit but my committee may completely disagree that we as a committee would be making sort of that kind of policy decision and I wonder if it makes more sense for it to come from the agency of education. As I mentioned to you Senator Rom on the phone I mean I'm just wondering is there it's the legislature sometimes in the state sometimes does say never ever ever ever but I do worry that there are going to be cases where a suspension or expulsion is warranted what I want to make certain happens is the educational experience continues but might there be something where a teacher comes to a principal or the school into you know personnel and says you know this really does warrant suspension even though I know the gravity of what that would mean for the child I mean that's I again just thinking about it you know to be sent home as a kindergarten or as at any age but particularly young young age suspended or expelled is something we would want to avoid at all costs so that's just some of my thinking and the committee might say no perfectly comfortable with moving in this direction as you've outlined or do we kind of somehow incorporate it into this overall study that we're looking at and saying for the agency to come back and make some real decisions for us along this I don't know if you have thoughts on that or I do you know because I I can understand the gravity of this particularly approaching crossover without a lot of additional testimony I would say and I'm happy to you know work with Jim further on some drafting but I would say there's three things that the committee could possibly do to strengthen the existing study you know after doing all this research and really appreciating Mr. Chair for allowing me to come back in and keep chewing on this with you all you know one many states are starting to track the experience of ex of expelling children from preschool even if they have no control over that they are starting to sort of pay attention and keep track of you know which child care centers are expelling a lot of kids is that an experience and and they are seeing huge racial disparities and income disparities and who's getting expelled from from pre pre-k as you might imagine when it you know when it comes to this this issue of what's the right age to just say we really shouldn't be expelling children I would love to see the agency of education come back and say here's the age it's second third fourth grade it's some age where we say you know that we really can't find a good reason that we should exclude this child from a school environment have their whole family and them go through the trauma of what do you do now where do they go to school how many days do they miss school while they're trying to be placed somewhere else what does what does it mean to be in that new school um you know and then and then um you know this truancy piece just sort of adding that for your consideration because it's sort of another way that we punish families for crises and other things affecting the young person's absence not behavior in terms of what they do at school but just their lack of presence from school is sort of often another sign of some kind of distress that we're not intervening with uh properly or carefully yeah committee questions for senator romp at this point senator perchlet please yeah thanks for for being here and thanks chair the question again or it was a question or a comment um that you think senator remis d the bill isn't a study that you know the one you corresponded the other one it's a task force to say it will we will end expulsion for everybody from so so it seems like we're already there but I just reread it and I thought we could strengthen there because it says make recommendations to end expulsion so maybe we just say implement a prohibition on expulsions or something but it does say except for the most severe circumstances or something like that but I wondered if you felt that was you know if you thought we need to change that word because it seems like taking your your new 84 bill and just adding it to 13 is the best way to go since your sponsors are both and if you thought that language that we had in there so it was just a study it seems like we don't need another study but since it's kind of like okay how do we implement this it seems like that would be the way to go right right you know I mean it this is just a data point of one but having I mean you know the reason I introduced this bill originally years ago was you know really traumatic experiences where where a child was you know had had an accident or did something on the playground and you know were suspended or expelled and and you know a lot of parents of color were coming to me and saying I don't know what to do I don't even know if I can live in the state anymore so you know I have seen certainly so much of the urgency and the trauma of removing a child from school I think the only thing that might balance that out is the trauma of being on the receiving end of some kind of behavior and and being triggered by having that person in your immediate presence and some schools may be so small that there's no way to separate them on a larger campus or put them in a classroom that's much further away so I really do still try to balance you know that experience of you know what it means to be a victim I I was saying to the chairman I was arguing with my fiance about this who grew up in Charlotte you know I mean he was seven when his his friend on the school bus made him made him spit a spitball at the bus driver and they both got suspended and he said it like straightened him out and made him a better person you know and then I said well what happened to the other kid he said oh you know he's in jail now or something so it was like okay well you know if you have a family structure that says what you know what did you just do and really intervenes and uses that as a tool but you can get that intervention without that suspension or expulsion where another family might say great forget it you're you know you're never going back or what what are the case may be so hopeful you know when these ideas were proposed a lot of them were in that restorative justice framework of if you're not going to you know expel or suspend a student what are you going to do to repair harm to the victim of whatever they perpetrated and make sure they don't have lingering trauma that goes unaddressed and you know help that person be empowered to repair the harm so that they ultimately take more responsibility for their actions in the future i i so i you know i know we're talking about restorative justice to jump it all over so senator perps like you're proposing that you know given the way our q.1 is written that we and s84 that we you know way merge both of them it seems like the easiest way to do it yeah yeah senator lions want to weigh in that was actually a suggestion i was going to make and and then the other the other question is um senator ron ram if you have any of the data that you would like to share with a committee to support um our decision that would be really helpful would it be preferable in an email to the committee kind of as a package of information would be that would be terrific that would be great senator hooker senator chinden any concerns with that uh movement to to merge these two i think i i would support that in that you know we have important pieces of each of them and so put them together rather than trying to do one or the other and certainly yeah okay senator chinden okay it's good to have people from chinden county on here that you can influence even though well you know i mean we're a team it's a team effort that's right i i do have a question regarding um alternative situations for yeah to have you know perhaps serious issues you mentioned senator ron that you know a small percentage are uh because of violence some that kids are expelled um we do have um alternative ed you know here in rotland and i know that there have been some very young children who have been you know put in alternative classes how would something like this intersect with the bill or the the attempt to sort of ban expulsion yeah i mean you know i'm sure your committee is constantly trying to look at are they it what a separate but equal look like you know whether it's special education or english language learning or alternative programs um you know are are they is the intent ultimately to help return them to the school environment or is it a place for them to get relegated for the remainder of their time in school and if that happens to them at a very young age you know then then what what is the next step do they ultimately get returned to the um feeder you know do they is that a feeder school back to the middle school or high school or um you know do they get sort of left in an alternative program for for the remainder of their days we should have more data on these things and you know we should know i mean what we get often as as senators is stories that break our hearts that seem to not add up to you know the full picture and then we know that we're probably not going to necessarily hear the stories when something pretty horrific did happen necessarily um so you know better data to know is it a temporary move to an alternative program do do they get put back in with the regular school population so much of the language of these reports about exclusion and separation remind me a lot of special education in ELL where you could just end up feeling like uh you're not a part of a larger community for a long time and that can have a really detrimental effect on your outcomes and your ability to function in society and you sort of end up on that continuum to feeling like an outlier from society which is what we end up calling the school to prison pipeline yeah no i really feel like we're tackling something uh important here and we're going to look to your support on the floor uh when we get any questions especially sorry go ahead oh i was just going to say very eloquent committee members i don't know who's reporting i'm sure they'll do better than that senator chitin did so to disappear off the screen uh thank you thank you for being with us thanks for your advocacy uh we do have about 11 other bills of yours in this committee that we are working to advance uh you know one one other in particular though we heard wonderful testimony this morning or this afternoon like 20 minutes ago uh from a mr yin uh from when you see who also spoke of the incredible work that a multi multi-cultural liaisons do uh and uh so uh that's also hopefully something we might be able to package up into uh we're hoping to our miscellaneous bills so senator thank you for taking the time from government operations uh please remember our kindness when you redistrict all of us um just by virtue of this being my second or third visit um i'm biased but i can tell you're doing really amazing work and it couldn't come at a more critical time for our kids who are feeling really isolated and lost and like they need a sense of belonging again so thank you for everything you're doing thank you and if if the press is listening hopefully they captured that you have a you have a great chair committee i have said that before goodbye thank you senator ron thank you mr demaray uh i think um seems like a very straightforward uh even though i'm usually the one that needs walkthrough is more than anyone i don't know is there anything uh overarching that you'd like to say about the bill it looks like it's the committee's preference to merge the two um and again it it does look pretty straightforward um it does look like we'll all need a fiscal note and i'll request that from joint fiscal before we vote it out uh but i am hoping to to move this if at all possible in the next day or so so you want to merge them um do you want to turn the prohibition on expulsion for uh students under age eight into uh part of the report the study uh for recommendation on that or do you just want to put that in as a requirement the way i'm reading the committee and please correct me if i'm wrong if i'm misreading the committee is that we should put that in going forward as a requirement is that i mean that looks to me or is or did i misread in folks really feel senators feel as though they would like this as part of a study senator perswick you made the initial comment please well the the way it is the maybe the we need to change the wording of on s16 or whatever the number is a little bit 18 to say that it's clear that we're any expulsions except for the most extreme situation so that includes people under the age of eight under the age of eight so i don't know if we if we need to include that specific language in in the other bill but i we might want to be clear that that they're that the recommendations are basically here's the new policy they're there we shall not have expulsions how how does that work in a school how how is each district going to deal with because if you just say you can't have expulsions i can see just a bunch of questions coming back from every school district saying okay well what about if they bring a gun to school or well what what's our responsibility for those children that we that we do expel under the extreme situation so my understanding of this task force which i don't think we should call it a study right the task force is saying we will not have expulsions here's how you deal with except in these extreme situations here's what those extreme situations are and here's how you implement it you know we talked about in the in the bill about let me get to that language on page four i think yeah the if right we're asking muscle to do the data collection and analyzing but just kind of how they're how they're going to to make this happen in every school right to inform strategic planning by statewide local decision making yes yeah like all that stuff right i mean that's the way i i see it i don't know if that helps yeah that gives us you know that that's going to help answer i think a lot of concerns out there again that this task force is looking at this and going to be strategizing and working and informing school districts how how you know how to work with students of that yeah please okay i can ask a question yeah please the gym do you think that the language where it says make recommendations and suspensions is is ending suspensions or is it just making recommendations to end them you know so like at what point if this was how it passed with with suspensions and expulsions and at some point in the future and we would need further legislative action or or would this be sufficient so you get you get specific language now in the bill right and um at 16 yes what where you're looking exactly lines like line seven on page four yeah right mine doesn't have page numbers let me try where i am it's section section two the creation of the task force third line of that task force and school reform report all right in the creation section um yeah they're recommending they're recommending to you um making recommendations as to ending suspensions and expulsions but you would have to take action based on those recommendations and change statute the statute currently permits these practices so you have to make a separate change there to implement that okay so if you wanted to you could take a center ramps language and prohibit expulsions for children under eight and then add to this study a line that requires them to look at how school districts could implement that in terms of how they would help school districts decide how they would deal with the fact that they can't explore these kids so you can add that to your your task force if you want i'd be for that and also and maybe the wording is already enough there to say that yeah we are going to end that expulsions for those under that age how do we how do we implement that but then also tell us where to draw the line for the extreme expulsions and i wondered if we need what i would be so my point of view i would like to have it say that kind of it is the policy that for even over eight we don't want to have expulsions but maybe we we need to draw the line somewhere i i agree what i think the chair was saying to center rom that there are these situations like we heard from secretary france if somebody brings a gun to school i think the school should have the ability to say okay you're not coming back home tomorrow we need to figure out what's going on so i don't want to just say there is none but somebody needs to figure out where that line is drawn so well that's what this is doing i think already right right yeah i guess it's back i i i guess i was reading it wrong to your original question senator campion is that we do sounds like we would have to add that language from s84 about the not allowing expulsions under age eight yeah i'm just wondering if there's a way to say something like so the extreme example would be if the individual was going to go cause harm to himself or others him or herself or others that that provides for some um protection and allows for decision making that isn't that the that's usually the phrase that's used um in a variety of areas so yeah the potential to harm yeah others so they may not have actually done it but they have a weapon or something like that center personally well i wondered if senator lian making that comment in reference to the eight-year-olds and under which which i'm okay with maybe but yes that's what i make that's what i'm referring to you were looking for the extreme cases or would seem to me that would be about as extreme as you can get you know so i mean if it's harm to oneself then you would want to ensure that the school would have in place some referral system or support system for the kid and if it's to others then you want to make sure that the child is home and the family if there is a family or the guardian or character of her knows so there's a lot of there's a lot of work that schools have to do and so that that i like jim's suggestion as well center person and jim in this context in this part of the statue when it says a student how is that defined is that you know the senator rams point about does that include preschools kids or does it only you know preschools tricky right because um preschool that happens in a school is under aoe jurisdiction preschool that happens in a private care center or family home provider is under human services jurisdiction and they have joint rules that cover these areas but it's not quite clear to me what the expulsion and suspension rules are for pre-k kids in childcare centers and family care homes i'm not sure that that is and it's but it's title 16 only dealing with kind of schools under the control of aoe title 16 in this area is quite complex because it's got joint authority given to aoe and a hs to oversee these programs but the programs are under while they have joint rulemaking authority for both they are sad though in terms of oversight aoe for in school as s4 private sensors so i just don't know the answer to your question about what happens in those childcare centers and home care centers or family homes on this question about how much will it apply to them it's a great question i mean it's yeah we're saying i mean i i'm inclined to think we keep this pretty narrow and it not and it be clear that we're not talking about you know private home centers you know uh something somebody has it you know the parent might have it at their home and i think we tighten that up jim to either say you know pre-k through again it's under age of eight but i can say under age of eight enrolled in a school right that'll carve out the private side right the school is defined yeah yeah public school okay that sounds good okay so am i hearing that you want also to add caveat to her prohibition to say except in the case of extreme circumstances such as are used to write words but yeah yeah yeah okay where you send her lines language that yeah that's what i think center lines yep yep is the way to go yep okay and then well maybe i don't know if that other language needs to be changed about the recommendations right so that's a i think that's you know something we have to decide are these recommendations that they are going to come back to us with or are we asking them to you know implement a policy with that yeah go ahead jim because the um because suspension and um exclusion of policies for the statute so they can't do anything more than like a recommendation to you because you don't have to go change the statute to implement that what is what do people think and i'm trying to think of language so what would the language be jim if we were to if we wanted this to happen immediately i mean we're basically saying i mean no matter what they're going to have to come back and talk to us right i mean unless we were making a policy that was completely overarching and or bad adjective but unless we were saying um we're getting rid of suspensions and expulsions right now any work that's being done in this working group is going to have to come back to us right well this is it's going to call us for they're going to come back to yeah that's what i mean i mean i'm just trying to think i'm not sure if senator persic were you thinking about altering line seven where it says recommend to end or to say um or to end suspensions either way it kind of comes back to us you know what i'm saying i'm not sure if that's helpful or yeah i guess i guess i think that we probably keep it the way it is and that there are complications and you know i might even come up with the under eight year olds but it's better for the task force to look at it holistically and then come back to us and say like okay here's here's how you need to change this yeah it's pretty clear we're going to end it so they can't come back and say oh don't don't end right right we're directing them that that's the way we want to move the task force doesn't have the power to end i understand right yeah so all it can do is come back to me right right right is there a date certain by which that it will end regardless of when the task force comes back so in other words the task force could come back with very compelling reason not to end it and then but in the meantime we could say that it will end so we could say it's going to let's let's just pick a date out of our heads it's going to end it's going to end January 1st 2022 or no March 1st 2022 and the task force report will come back um January 2022 there's two months there for any change to that um effective date is that something we should do or do we have centers feel about that i mean that gives it i think i mean either way is fine with me i'm happy just ending it but um then but you do want the task force to feel like they're actually doing something yeah yeah let's leave it without the date for right now if that's the right center alliance oh i'm fine okay and then um jim do you have enough direction just looking that it's after four and i know we have a chairs meeting and senator lines you need you feel free to go when you need to and i think senator hooker i don't know if you go to those um but feel free to yeah i'm fine i can i can no no problem okay center persecutor center hooker final questions or just verify as far as um under eight yeah the immediate and anything else would be um subject to what the recommendation of the commission is i'm sorry would you repeat the first part of that um banning banning expulsions under eight would be immediate yeah and then the rest would follow as the debt is collected exactly it's saved for circumstances as outlined by senator lines yeah okay okay all right so uh if jim if you'd be so kind as to email the entire committee a new draft when you're done so you give people an opportunity to look at things this evening um we could comment some more uh and i will ask joint fiscal to um uh do a fiscal note senator chin and i want to remind you about four weeks five weeks ago uh we were working on this and it looked like we were nearing completion you said well sausage making is this easy it's fine with me um now we're really into making sausage it'll be great sausage yeah it's going to be great sausage i like that uh thanks everybody appreciate it uh jim thanks again oh sure yep okay bye bye bye


What's going on, you guys? Welcome to the Single Guide channel. As you can tell, we have a little bit of a different format today. I have a very special guest on the channel. We have John from Bulldog Mindset. John, can you introduce yourself to everybody? Sure. Yeah. What's up, Lloyd? Thanks for having me. So I'm John Sonmez from Bulldog Mindset. I basically teach men how to be men. This is something that a lot of people are like, is that really something that you need to do today? But it really is because what I found is that so many men don't know how to be men today. And a lot of what I teach is basically getting rid of the victim mindset. So many people have this victim mindset. So my channel is dedicated to all the areas of improving yourself as a man to take responsibility for your life, starting with the mindset. And then the fitness side, getting jacked, getting in shape, in the six pack abs, the financial side, getting your business going, investing, improving your career. And then the dating side, being a guy that is able to speak with women, speak with people in general, have good social skills and really up your value as a man. Yeah, absolutely. And you mentioned something that was very interesting. We've talked a lot about this. And I'm sure there's some of my audience who watches your channel, sure some of your audience watches my channel. What do you think is the reason why a lot of guys fall into this victim mindset, especially in today's day and age? Yeah, you know, what I've seen is a major shift in the way that victimhood presents itself, right? So it used to be, you know, in fact, a good example of this is Arnold Schwarzenegger, right? There was this video I saw about like two years ago where I think it was about two years ago. He was in South Africa. He was doing some sporting event there that he was putting on. And this guy flies out of nowhere and jump kicks him in the back, right? Now, Arnold is old. I mean, he's still Arnold, but you watch it on video. And it was a nice hit. I mean, it really hit him hard, right? And you know, this is not the Arnold from the bodybuilding days. He's an older man, right? So what happens after that is I think the next day I saw it on the news or I saw some clip or something that he said on Twitter. And basically they're playing the clip and then they asked Arnold, they're like, so what are you going to do? Are you going to sue this guy?  Did that hurt? You know, they're asking him all these questions and he was like, oh, did somebody kick me? I didn't notice. I just thought someone bumped into me, right? And I was like, this is it. Because Arnold, and this is how things used to be. It used to be, I don't want to be the victim, right?  I fell, right?  But yeah, so many guys today, right? We see victimhood being lifted up as a badge of honor. It's like who can out victim? It's like the victim Olympics. And whoever is the greatest victim is the one who whoever wants to be like they want to prove that they're greatest victim. And that is the opposite of masculinity. So because that's being promoted in society, because we have such a feminist society today, men aren't learning how to be men. And so when when men don't learn how to be men, and they become emotional, become more like the feminine, more like women, they end up embracing this victimhood as a way to as a way to make it not their fault. It's right.  And it's just, it's victim, victim, victim. And the whole reason why guys tend to say this and why we see this is because they don't want to acknowledge and take responsibility.  Because if they admitted that, then that would mean they would have to do something about it. Right, right, absolutely. I mean, you said a lot of things that I cannot, you know, repeat enough. So what we're going to do in this video, I know we're kind of like almost halfway through it, is we're going to give you guys some actual tips so you can stop being in this category. One of the things I'm sure you can agree with this, John, is that like, we kind of live in a society now where men are mostly brought up by women, you know, you have a lot of fathers that aren't there. Maybe they're away for work, maybe they left. You have school teachers who are almost 95% women. I mean, I remember when I was in school, I can only remember one male teacher I had had up until the age of maybe 16 or 17 until my senior year of high school. Really, my formative years were all formed by instructions and trying to appeal to older women, trying to not get in trouble. And unfortunately, I feel like they're rewarding the wrong things, or maybe sometimes the right things for certain circumstances, but not the right things in order to make a man a man. What would you say are some of the ways that guys can undo some of this programming, some of the things that they've been kind of indoctrinated in their formative years? Yeah, so there's a big thing. What, what I always talk about is that that you actually have to become a man, right? So women are born men are made, right? And so it used to be back in the day that there was initiation process, right, that we'd go through these rights, you know, young boys would get sent out maybe 14 or 15 into the woods for like two weeks, and they'd have to like see some hallucination or kill some stuff or they'd have to survive. And then they'd come back and they come back as a man. And we're not doing that today. So what I always tell guys today is that there's, there's two steps, two things that you really have to do to, to self initiate to become a man that that's required in that process. The first one is to metaphorically kill your father. Okay, what I mean by this is that you have to kill the value systems. And even if you didn't have a father, then society represents your father, right? Or you've got some kind of substitute for that. But you have to step up, decide that you are the king now, and stop, stop taking on the value systems of your father, because we grew up and we let society, we let our father tell us what is right or wrong and determine our values. And then we seek approval, we seek approval from that father figure, even if we hadn't had one in society, we're looking for that fog father figure to tell us that we did a good job.   And I am the one who I don't need approval from anyone else. Right. And again, a lot of guys are seeking external validation, approval from women is a big one. Right. And that's why they're not having success in game and with women. And so when you step up and you say, look, the only person who matters as far as their opinion is mine, that's it. That's when you, you've started that process of becoming a man initiation process.  And I will fully accept the consequences for my actions. It's stepping up and it's saying, it's not being timid. It's not being afraid. It's not fearing rejection. It's saying, look, I'm just going to do it. I'm going to do whatever I want to do. And then whatever happens, I'm fully going to accept whatever consequences that brings. When you do those two things, and I know we don't have a huge amount of time. So I'm kind of compressing this here. But when a man does those two things, that's when he really becomes a man. If you haven't done those things, you're not really going to be a man.   Well, let me look and see what other people say. And that that's who I am. Instead of what you should be doing as a man is instead of absorbing, you should be projecting. You should be projecting who you are. That's what we talk about masculine presence. One of the most attractive traits that women find in a man is to be present in that masculine presence that comes from you projecting out into the world who you are. Absolutely. You know, you've touched on so many awesome things. The lack of male rituals we have to adulthood, I think is a huge one. The fact that most men don't actually go for what they want.  What am I supposed to do next? And I'm like, homie, what do you want to do next? Let's ask that question. Let's start in that room and see where we go from there. And too many guys are not asking themselves that question. You're absolutely right. They're they're trying to appease maybe what the woman wants. And that's exactly what she doesn't want. She doesn't want a guy who is trying to fit, try to morph themselves into some creature that is exactly what she's looking for. She wants them to be a man. And really, that's exactly what you said, which is projecting themselves into other people. There's going to be some people that don't vibe with you.  And that's okay. And so you touched on a lot of really good things. So if you could give one, you guys one thing to do after they sign off on this video, what would it be one practical tip? Maybe something easy.  Great. If you don't know big deal. So what I would say is this, I have this exercise that I give to a lot of my coaching clients. I call it looking in the mirror. Right.  Okay. And I want you to not justify anything. Just see yourself as objectively as possible. Right. We see ourselves subjectively. We make up excuses for why we're shy, why we behave this way, why, oh, is this woman must, she must be bad. That's why. But I want you to look at yourself, start off physically. Right. And I want you to look at all your traits, kind of write these down. Don't judge yourself. But, but look and say, okay, do you have some love handles? Are you a little bit fat?  Right. I've got a big nose. Right. So, you know, one eye smaller than the other, you know, you write down all of these things. Okay. And again, you're not judging yourself, but the goal here is to see reality clearly, because that's one of the most valuable skills that you can have if you want to advance in life. And so you do that. Okay. And then, and then the next thing that you do is now you take in an account of yourself, your character, not just your physical appearance. We start with the physical, right? So you can accept those things.    I'm not, I'm not very courageous. Okay, that's okay. We're not judging you, but write it down for yourself. Right. And you're good attributes too. But be honest with yourself, be brutally honest with yourself. Where are the areas that you need to improve? Who are you actually? How do you come across? Do you come across as a confident, you know, high value man? Or are you not coming across that way? If you're not, that's fine, but write it down and why and really take a full account of yourself because that's the starting place because here's the thing. So many guys, we're so used to BSing ourselves to telling ourselves, you know, justifications for, you know, and I'm sure you know this as a coach yourself that the biggest obstacle that blocks guys from moving forward is that lies that they keep on telling themselves because they want to be this guy, but they're not him and they keep on pretending to be that guy. So, you know, the biggest thing about this is if you're trying to get somewhere on a map, let's say that you're trying to, you're trying to get to New York City. Well, if you don't know where you are right now, it doesn't matter how good of directions I give you, you can't get there. You have to know where you are because where you are is going to determine where you need to go. And so that's what I would say is just do that exercise, that will help you immensely in your life. And then you'll have a place to go. Then you'll know clearly what your path is and what you need to work on. Absolutely dude. That was well said. You know, being honest with yourself, that's part of who we are. And you know, I have my flaws too. I talk about them openly on this channel and you do too.  So, dude, John, this was an awesome meeting. I would like to keep these a little short just so people can digest. You dropped a lot of knowledge bombs. I want people to kind of like think on them for a while. If people want to reach you, if you want to get in contact with you, where's the best way to reach you? If you want them to check out your YouTube channel, where would you like people to go from here? Sure. Yeah. The best thing to do is just go to BulldogMindset.com.  Of course you do because you want to know what your Bulldog score is. So it's 10 question quiz. Just take that quiz and I'll give you a score from 0 to 100. Tell you where you are objectively. And then from there, you'll get some emails from me telling you how to raise your score and some videos from me, all kinds of stuff. I'll get you into the Bulldog world. That sounds great. Well, I'm sure many of our viewers will look forward to taking that quiz. Thank you so much for being on this program, John. And hopefully we'll talk to you soon, man. You know, I'm going to be in San Diego. So hopefully I'll be able to see you there. Awesome. Awesome. Thanks again, Lloyd.


Hey, this is Brett, and this 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 Crew Cab Longbox Dually High Country is stock number 13413Z. I am here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, your new and used heavy-duty truck headquarters. This 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 has the 6.6 liter Duramax diesel engine, puts out 445 horsepower, and it's paired up with the Allison 10-speed automatic transmission. This 2020 Chevy Silverado has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop, has a fresh oil and filter change, all the fluids have been checked and topped off, and this truck is 100% ready to go. I'm going to go all the way around in this video inside, underneath, start it up, and take a look under the hood to give you the most accurate representation of the vehicle possible. Black clear coat is the color, and I shoot all my videos in 4K, so if you have HD capabilities, turn them on now because it is your best way to check out the quality condition options, and of course, cleanliness of the vehicle before seeing it in person. Down the driver's side here, dual-e tub looks really good. Driver's side cab and doors are in very nice condition as well, and the driver's side front fender, I didn't see any dents or dings on there. If you like the video, you can subscribe to my YouTube channel, which is youtube.com slash Summit Auto. Click the bell notifications, and you'll get updates on the videos I do each and every day here at Summit Automotive. This one comes with the polished aluminum rims, and it has Sumitomo encounter AT tires. These are LT235 80R17s, and they have a very good amount of tread left, I would say probably 90% of the tread left on those tires. Frame and underbody is in excellent shape. This is a one owner clean title history, clean car facts out of Pennsylvania. Has the LED running lights, the LED fog lamps, and the LED headlamps. Front bumper is painted part of that high country package, no major dents or dings on there.  You also get this kind of bronze finish on the grille, part of the high country package, and the black Chevy O-Tai. Hood is in excellent shape, has the true cowl induction, so I'll show you how that works in a little bit, does have the cab lights up top, and the passenger side front fender is in fantastic condition as well. As you go down this side of this 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective and mirror like that paint is. I take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by, you just cannot make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can see the truck, hear the truck, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises, and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. And if this video helps you make that buying decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video that it was helpful and that Brett sent you.  Once again, that frame and underbody looks really good, and it's like that all the way underneath. It has all the remaining factory exhaust, so it hasn't been altered in any way. And the lower rockers and cab corners are in nice condition as well. It does have the factory chrome step bars, side box steps, and that dually tub is in really nice condition. Coming around to the back of the vehicle, rear bumper is in nice shape. You didn't see any major dents or dings in there. It does have the rear bumper steps, the backup parking sensors, the full towing package, which includes a receiver hitch, and seven pin wiring. And then you get these hookups are for trailer cameras. If you wanted to hook up cameras to your trailer, that's what they're for. The tailgate is in pretty nice shape. I did want to mention one little ding. I didn't see that when I initially inspected this truck, so I'm going to have our dent guy take a look at that in a couple days. So hopefully that'll be addressed when I'll make a new video. Spray and bed liner, fifth wheel and gooseneck prep package, four pin, seven pin wiring, and you get LED bed lights back here. You also get a 120 volt, 400 watt plug-in back here as well. Tailgate shuts nice and solidly. I wonder if that's a power up tailgate. It might be. Yep, it's a power up tailgate. And that works nicely as well. For full disclosure, this back rim is in fantastic condition as well. And down the rest of this side of the truck, cab and doors all look fantastic. Does have the telescopic tow mirrors. They have blind spot monitoring, LED side lights, built in directional signals. You get the 360 camera on there as well. They power telescope out. They power fold in. And I'll show you all that in just a second.  You also get the high country stitched into the headrest. And there's no rips or tears on there. They are very nice shape. The factory all-weather floor mat, auto headlamps, heads up display. That's for your cargo lamps. That's also for your LED side lights and bed lighting, push button, four wheel drive, and your fog lights. Four windows locks and mirrors, memory driver seat. These mirrors do power telescope out like so. I always like showing both sides so that you know that both sides are working properly. And then they do power fold in as well. And once again, both sides working nicely. Take a quick look at the back seats. They are just as clean as front seats. No rips or tears back here. It does have the latch child safety system for any child car seats you may have. They're sliding rear window with the built-in rear defrost. These headrests do fold down for better visibility. And you get storage bins behind the back seats on the driver and passenger side. You get a little storage container back here as well. And carpeting is nice and clean because of that all-weather format. You get the heated seat buttons, two USBs, or one's a USB, one's a USB-C and a 12-volt power point. So these back seats are heated on the outboard sides. That safety locks on the back doors and the bottoms of the doors all look fantastic. Hop inside, check out the miles, the radio, and everything that this truck has to offer on the interior. So these are always tricky to get the miles. They're the miles. 43,969 miles on this one. And instrument cluster is very nice and clean. You get the heated leather-wrapped steering wheel. No major rips or tears on there. Bluetooth and information center controls on the right. Cruise controls on the left heated steering wheel controls as well. And once we start it up, I'll be able to show you all the other controls that that has. This one has the factory navigation system on it. You can see there's Highway 41, so that is working nicely. And then you'll have your main screen. If you go to home, you have Apple CarPlay, Android Auto. This is also where your backup camera shows up, as well as the 360 cam, which we can do once we start the vehicle. You get your dual climate controls right here. Here you're heated and cooled seat buttons, factory exhaust brake, lane departure, parking sensors, power up and down tailgate, hazard lights, stability control, that's for the plug-in that's in the bed of the truck, and you can put all four windows down at the same time. Factory brake controller, USB USB-C, 12 volt power point and 120 volt, 150 watt plug-in. You also get the wireless cell phone charge pad here, keyless entry with the remote start and the power drop down tailgate. Passenger side format and seat are in excellent condition as well. Didn't see any rips or tears on there. I don't think this truck's ever been smoked in. Had liners in great shape, and you do get the power sunroof right there. Home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lighting systems, sunroof and power sign with your window controls, on-star and SOS, and then you do get the rear view mirror camera, so that's an actual video display of what's going on behind you, which is pretty cool, and I'll show you that once we start the truck up. Although I don't want to get the room too fumigated, there's the tire and loading information, as well as your vehicle and trailer, trailering information, and then your VIN stickers right there. Alright, I'll start it up. Take a look at the backup camera and everything. Starts right up, no check engine lights or anything like that. There's your backup camera, as well as your 360 cam. There is your rear view mirror video camera, and then your backup cam. You can do the backup cam, you can do the surround cam, you can do down the sides cam, and I believe it has a cargo cam as well, so all that stuff working very nicely. Also, on this one it has adaptive cruise control, so you can adjust the gap on that adaptive cruise right there, and it does have the heads up display in the windshield. We'll take a quick look under the hood, turn all the lights on, so you can see all those. There are the LED side lights on those mirrors, they are super bright, and I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today, and hopefully from this HD video, you've been able to tell just how clean and nice this truck is all the way around. All those lights are working very nicely, as are the cab lights. Under the hood we have the 6.6 liter Duramax diesel engine, engine base very clean, runs very smooth. Once again, this truck has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop. Has a fresh oil and filter change, all the fluids have been checked and topped off. This truck is 100% ready to go, there's the emission sticker, so I told you I pulled air induction, air comes in there, goes to the tube, right into the air cleaner, and that's how that works. I would highly recommend this truck to make quality and condition standpoints, it's got six like new tires all the way around, really nice condition, and I think you'd be happy with this one.

A wnaeth i chi, rydyn ni'n gweithredu eich bod yw unrhyw. I love this little stumps. It's a bouquet of tulips and then you have the fist kind of clench there which in a minute when we stamp I'm going to have it so that it's holding a bunch in the centre of and then all of the other flowers are going to be around the outside so that's going to be the real main kind of focal point. So I've die cut two of the circle in the white because I want to stamp onto it so if I just show you how the dies look so I've just used this one here. I made a lovely card called the dome card using this here and the shoe was inside this kind of like glass dome box or something like that you know it's like a display and it's really lovely and if I remember I'll link that one up here actually. So I've die cut the circle twice and then I have die cut so I've cut myself a six by six card blank this was a piece of six by this was a piece of 12 by 12 card stock and then I just cut it in half and then scored along halfway so six inches to fold in half to make your six by six card. Then I've cut a piece of five and three quarters paper to go inside for my mat layer and I also cut another piece of five and three quarter to mat on the front like so. Then these ones here are die cut so this one is your mechanism pull out piece so that's that one there so I've just die cut that one once and then this one here is your main square which I've die cut once as well. You then need this piece which is the main slider mechanism and that's what I'm going to now die cut on to this piece here.  I haven't done it before with the sliders so we're going to try it here first but I think it will work. First of all you want to with the mechanism you want to bring it down to the bottom so you've got about quarter of an inch or so. I mean you can have it higher if you want if you have it lower you don't have so much of your pull tab sticking out because this pull tab piece will stick to the bottom. I've got other tutorials explaining this as well and I'll link them in this video along the way but you see there I want it to stick out about that much so I'm going to keep it so that it's about there. Make sure you've got a nice even amount if you want to get your ruler just to measure that and make sure it's all nice and straight and then I'm just going to pop some tape within this middle bit. I always say it but if this was to rip your cardstock lease this area here is going to be covered with all of this so you'd never notice. So now I'm just going to pop that in there and run that through and then I can just carefully peel that away. Okay so you can see now that's all cut out and it will leave this top piece attached it will just cut on the three sides which is what you want and there'll be three score lines there. But before I burnish that I'm going to now run it through my balloon in bottom folder because it's a birthday card so we've got the bow care flowers and then we're going to have the balloons and I think it'll be a subtle look because you're only going to see it on the side pieces hearing on that back bit but we'll try it. So this was part of the first collection again as well so I'm just going to set up my die machine to do this one. Can you see how cool is that? Just another different technique something different to try with this and next you want to fold that top score line away from you so you create a valley fold. Then that middle score line which I can just about see I might have squashed it a little bit because I did emboss it but it's still there. You're going to then make into a mountain and then that last one will become a valley. So now you've got your slider there. Next you want to grab that white five and three quarter piece and I'm just going to lay that on the top and I'm going to bring up this about halfway and I'm just going to mark off my area that I will need to stamp my sentiment. So just roughly with a little bit of pencil there very lightly with your pencil just on the four sides and then I think I'm going to have have a blooming marvellous birthday because on the circle I'm going to have for my best bud. So I'm going to take this one and what I might also do is stamp some of the bouquet kind of coming into this area. So again it's just more of that pattern coming down into this section so I'm just going to sit that one there. So that's that one and then I'm going to take the bouquet which I've got ready here already and then ink that up. I don't need to do all of it because basically what I want to do is just have a little bit kind of poking in because this is all going to get covered so it doesn't matter really what you do with this. You don't want to go right off into that little kind of quarter of an inch or one eighth of an inch border that you're going to have but certainly just do another one maybe here. I just think it's quite nice just to see little bits of the flowers coming down so again if you sit over this piece once I colour them in I might do a couple on the bottom. Can you see there what you're going to get? I think that's going to look really nice. I think I'm going to just clean the bottom there because I want to just do a little bit so I'm just inking up just the very top there just so I can do a little bit there. Can you see I've just gone over into my frame I thought I'd cleaned it enough so what I can do is I've got this eraser and it's really good for taking away any ink and it's just removed that. I'm not worried about going up that high but now if I just sit this back over again there we go. See it's disappeared now so I haven't got it there so it's really handy so I'm just going to wipe the bottom of that because I do want to do another one just there. I think I've got away with that one. It looks a bit of a mess at the minute but it's all going to hopefully come together really nicely. I just wanted to create that little kind of scene there and then once those are all on the top I think it's all going to come together really nicely so that's ready for me to colour. I'm just going to take that bit off there just in case that does come out but just remove your pencil marks. I've just stuck that onto my card blank and it's top folding and what I'm going to do now is colour those all in and then I can get my mechanism stuck down and then we can start building the top. OK so I've coloured that all in.  You can trim it. I've shown different ways of doing this with all the demos and everything so I'm actually going to leave it off today because this will still stick out and I'll be able to stamp the word pull. I can see how much is going to stick out in a moment.  So on the back I'm just going to use some of my red tape. You want to run some tape along the bottom section so this last little rectangle you're just going to run some tape along there. Move this away so it's easy for you to see. Now this piece here you're going to stick the bottom of this to the bottom of this piece here.  Double check that's all okay and then just stick that down.  Next you can add your tape along here, here and here. So again I'm going to use that same one. I think this is the quarter of an inch. This is Crafter's Companion but it fits perfectly down here. You don't want to go underneath this white piece because it will stop it working. It needs to have that room to move up and down. Now we want to stick it over here so we can start from the bottom and make sure I've got an even white border. Nice and straight like so and then roll that up like so. You can see my white frame is nice and neat and now this is what I mean about it. It does stick out. You can pull that up and we've got that piece there. Looks really nice. I'm glad I've done the flowers coming in from all the corners there. Next I want to start building up this. This is kind of like I said the real focal point. What I need to bear in mind is these I want the flowers to come right the way around all the way down there. You can't go past this fold here. I know lots of you have this so you'll know what to do but you want to make sure. I'm thinking I'm going to stick the circle down first and then I'm going to attach these onto the circle. Then I can stamp this one and then this circle is going to go over the top so it's going to sandwich them in between. We'll get this down first of all. What I'm going to do is leave it flat so I can start building up. You need to make sure that whatever you stick doesn't go past that score line there. I'm going to actually have this one stuck down first because this is going to come up higher and then the rest are going to fan out. I might end up moving the circle, might end up being stuck like that but you won't know because the other one underneath will all be covered. You've got all this space here. You can go right out to the sides because it will all still fit in your envelope. You've just got to make sure that bottom one doesn't go past so I can just get that one in there. I'm going to add my glue onto the back and then just lay that one down. It's as close as I can get it without interfering. If you bring it up you can move it down as far as you can like so. You can see I've just gone right down there but that means that that will come up easily. Now I'm going to pop it on high speed but I'm going to start building up all of these. It's all stuck down. I really like it but when I put this one over the top I think it's too big. I want to see more of the green so I'm going to die cut that a bit smaller. I'm just using this one here so I'm just going to run that through. I'm just drawing that down a little bit smaller so now when I pop it on here you can just see a bit more of the green. I just think it looks really nice. Next I want to do a little bit of stamping so I've got the fist stamp there and then I need the flower again. First of all I'm going to use this as just my kind of guide to where I need to have this one stamped because I'm going to do a little bit of masking. I think about there because I want to stamp for my best bud just there I think. I'm going to have this. We'll need to be about there I think. I think that's going to be good so I'm just going to grab my ink there. I'm going to just put that one just there. Now I did have a masked one already done but I obviously have lost it so I've just got some masking sheets here. These ones are by for the lover stamps but I've had the ones by the Stick 2 brand and there's Crafters Companion, there's quite a few companies but I'm just going to stamp it again on this masking sheet and I'm just going to fussy cut that. I've just cut it right up to the black stamped line. I've just peeled the backing off and I'm just going to lay it right back over that image. Keep that release paper there because I will save this and pop it there so I can see it on something. Now I want the bouquet stamp. I think this one up. I think these spare ones I'm going to pop on the envelope or maybe on the piece that comes out the top as well because you've got room there to put more sentiments as well. Now I want to do it so that a little bit of the stem pokes out the bottom of the fist and then about there. So now I can just peel this back away and there we have that masked effect. So now it looks like the bouquet is actually in the fist, gripped within the fist there. I think it looks really, really cool. Then I can stamp my sentiment for my best bird. I'll have that at the top now because I think that's going to go there. Keep it nice and centered and pop it just there. So now I'm going to colour that one in. I'm really pleased with that. I think it looks lovely. Next I'm going to just use some foam I think for this because there's a lot of bouquets here where they've overlapped each other, they've become quite dimensional. By adding the foam, that might just add just a couple on top of each other just in the centre there and I think that's going to be enough. There you go. So now I'm going to pull the top of that and I think that I'd love this. I think it's so nice. I was just trying to think of other ways to use things. I'm just wondering actually, I think because now I could go a bit higher there with that one. I might just layer that in francs. That's the nice thing because I put it on the foam. I think that could just, we could just have one just a little bit higher there. I'm just going to pop that in there so it doesn't matter if it covers that one. So while that's just drying, in this stamp set here, unfortunately it's still sold out. So yeah, we are waiting and we're waiting for more to come in, but it's got the pull, but I showed it on another tutorial. You can just write it, you can use some of your letter stamps if you have them and spell it out that way, but I'm just going to ink this up. And if you've got my Papercraft Society kit with the slider card, there was the pull in that one as well, so you could always use that. So I'm just going to pop that there, and there we go. So you know, the instruction is there if people want it, but you have to be careful if you do stick anything on this piece because it, you know, you don't want it to catch as it goes back under. Now I did show on one of them, I'll link it, where you can turn this into a gift card holder and you basically, instead of putting tape here, you put foam tape. So it's slightly lifted, so it will allow you to be able to slide a gift card under. But rather than stick them, I think I might stamp them just so there's just something else there, but you may want to have another sentiment stamped. But you imagine if I've got those three like so, and then I could put, well I haven't forgot, I don't want to use it up to Daisy's, so maybe nothing there, but if you've got another sentiment you can certainly put something on there, but you'll probably see that in the photos if I've decided to do that. But now, that's how it is, it will all fit into your envelope, and you pull it up from a best bud, have a blooming marvellous birthday. I think it's turned out lovely. These will just bring up a bit closer there for you to see. And just pull that up. You can see all of that lovely detail there as well. And with these cards, someone can, you know, whoever you give it to can display it like this, but also if they decide they want to do it that way, they can, and it will stand up really nicely and it still looks great as well. So, thank you for watching. As always, all the product will be linked below, and I'll be back again very soon with another tutorial. Bye.


This is stock number 9-775. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used heavy-duty truck headquarters. Remember, we are the guys with the trucks on 41 Highway 41 in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Today we are checking out this super clean 2016 Ford F-250 crew cab short box.

Tailgate is in excellent shape. I didn't see any denser dings than that. Has a locking tailgate. Has a drop-in bed liner. At one point it had a fifth wheel hitch in it, and those are the cutouts for the fifth wheel bed rails that they put in. Previous customers taken those with him or her. Has a seven pin wiring in the back, which stays with the truck, of course, and some nice chrome tie-downs in the corners. All Fords come with bed rail covers, of course, and as you go down this side of the truck, just as clean as that passenger side. No denser dings on this box. This back rim is absolutely perfect for full disclosure, and down the rest of the side, no dense, no dings. It does have the driver's side door code entry right there. We do have the code for that.

It does have serious satellite radio capabilities, so you can put serious to this truck if you'd like. Carpeting and floor mat are very clean on that side. Passenger seat is very clean as well. No rips or tears on that. And finally, if we go up to the headliner, that's in really nice condition as well.

Stevenson wins 18-9 tonight, Glenn Clark with head coach Paul Cantabene. Coach, what'd you say at the half exactly? They got your team shaped up there in the third and fourth quarters. Well, I think we just got to grow up as a team and act a little more mature in how we went about it. I didn't think we respected them very much in the first half. I thought we played absolutely terrible in the first half. I mean, we got out of ground balled and made all the soft plays. We kept them in games and making silly decisions on defense and offense. And if we didn't have our goalie play great and our face off guy be dominant, that could have been different. So I think we finally got some confidence in the second half, got moving a little bit, really did a great job. Only turned the ball over three times and did a really good job moving forward there. But we got to play better. We need our guys all to play better. And it's not we played that first half a little like, feel sorry for ourselves, so to speak. And just didn't really, we thought they were just going to roll over and they weren't. So we have to do a much better job respecting our opponents for sure. We saw in the second half Alexander Wilson get his first three career points. And it looks like someone that looked pretty comfortable out there. Maybe I know you were high on him before the season began. Maybe somebody who's earning some more opportunities. Yeah, he's done a great job in practice. We're trying to get him and Colin Dobbins as well. He got in there late and made a great pass a little more time. Because I think they are pretty dangerous players. And Alex is a really good high school attackman, but he's going to be a real good college middie and he made some really good plays. But just making a few changes, having can play attack a little bit. I thought helped settle us down a little bit. And I thought Ryan Coleman came out with a passion in the second half and did a really good job. And we started really converting that. But again, I think we just got to play better. I hear you. I understand you referenced your face off specialist. You have been high on this young man all season long. These last couple of games have really come into focus and just how good this young man can be. Yeah, and he's played a couple good guys the last two games. And so Justin's come a long way. You know, it's tough as a freshman coming in. It's a lot different than high school and where he came from. And all of a sudden, I think he struggled early by learning a lot of lessons and getting better. And I think we got a good rapport about how we want to go about the face off position now. And he's won 18 face offs and back to back games. And so we're doing much better there. But I think we're more like a unit. I think all our face off guys in our unit help each other get better in practice. And that's a sign of a good face off group. So we are getting better at that. I think all our guys are much better now than we just started the season. And we think Justin's going to get better and better. He's a long way to go. But I think he's getting better and better. And he's making some really solid decisions now, which is helpful. I also appreciate his choices in Habidashere as we're going to see here in a second. You go into conference play. There have been ups, downs, obviously, to this point in the season. To be the team that you want to be what still has to change moving forward. Well, we just have to be a more disciplined team. We have to understand every possession for us matters. We've got to understand every defense possession matters. I think sometimes we just get a little casual. And we need our seniors and fifth year guys and sixth year guys to play better. They have to play better for us to be successful. There are a lot of great players for us over their times here, and they're not playing to the level that we need them to play. They've got to play better. Coach, appreciate it. And congratulations on a win. We'll see you back here next week. Thank you.


What's up YouTube? Are you applying to Brown? If you are, stick around and I have do's and don'ts for your supplements. Thank you for joining me on my channel for the best college essay in Intel. Definitely subscribe and hit the bell so you don't miss a video. So the admissions officers at Brown are looking for students who are interested in community involvement, keen on making an impact and intellectually curious. They want to explore different aspects of the academic and social dimension of Brown and I'm going to share your do's and don'ts for your supplements. They're definitely kind of looking for a very specific type of student so we will get into that now. Thank you for joining me on my channel. My name is Dr. Josie. This is Write Your Acceptance and I have taught writing as a faculty member at a university for 13 years now and I've been lucky to be able to work with students applying and getting in and kind of seeing the type of writing you should be doing there too. So stick around. So the Brown supplemental essays offer three required prompts and if you are applying to RISD or the program of liberal medical education, definitely stick around because I'll talk a little bit about it later but if you are just straight up applying to Brown, you have three essays that you want to get into. The first is actually my favorite and sometimes the one that trips up students. That prompt is Brown's open curriculum allows students to explore broadly while also diving deeply into their academic pursuits. Tell us about an academic interest or interest that excites you and how you might use the open curriculum to pursue it. This is 250 words. You don't have a ton of time but two kind of nice size paragraphs you can definitely do. And so this is all about being multidisciplinary in thought and interest and passion. So yes, you want to go for a specific major perhaps but you want to show kind of varied interests as well. So you want to kind of really show that you can kind of come in and take charge of your education. That is what essentially the open curriculum is about. There are two phrases that I kind of linger on that I really like that they have on the website that I want you guys to use as like your kind of compass for this essay. Learn how to learn and learn how to solve. It's not as important to teach you something as to teach you how to learn something, right? So that's a really important quote. And then another one, students are the architects of their own learning. So there's a lot of autonomy in a lot of direction that the students have through the open curriculum. So you want to make sure that you not only show an excitement for that, but that you can show them how you are architecting your own education into paragraphs, right? So let's go back to the actual prompt. You want to show multidisciplinary or co-curricular interests and you want to show that you have already started in that path in some way. So let's say that you did an independent study project on an economic principle and perhaps you want a major or minor in economics. Look at their concentrations. Look at the courses that they're offering in one or two disciplines. So mention as specific as possible a couple of avenues of interest that you would like to pursue. Prom too. At Brown, you will learn as much from your peers outside the classroom as in academic spaces. How will you contribute to the Brown community? So this is your typical extracurricular activity type essay. You can pretty much recycle this with a few other schools that have that type of what has been the most meaningful extracurricular activity. You really want to kind of dial in, double down on community, on building community, on bringing people together, on fostering intellectual and social interests. So as the typical extracurricular activity essay, the only kind of clincher is that you want to kind of spin it back to how you will contribute to the Brown community, right? That is the essence of what the question is asking. So if you've taken karate classes, if you have taken tango lessons, scuba diving, all former students, by the way, that have applied to Brown, you can kind of start with a story about a memorable experience, you taking a lesson, then you can kind of zoom out and reflect on that community. What has that kind of community taught you? Why has it been kind of of interest? And then you want to spend the last third or so on connecting that to a potential student organization on the campus at Brown, right? So like, how will you contribute to the community in that way? I see other students do this through identity. If you are a minority in any way, if you speak multiple languages, I see this essay sometimes in that way. What I would do is be very specific toward the end on how you can kind of connect back to the Brown community. Is there a student organization? Is there a class? Is there a research or study abroad opportunity? Something that kind of shows you involving yourself actively in the Brown community? Prompt three. Tell us about a place or community you call home. How has it shaped your perspective? 250 words again. I really like this essay. It's kind of a fun essay potentially has a lot of creativity embedded in kind of the responses that I read and help students develop. I also love that you can kind of recycle this basically with the community's essay for the University of Michigan. So if you're applying to both, boom, there you go. So first and foremost, you want to define home, right? So how do you define home? Is that a geographical location? Is that kind of connoting a warmth place or an actual family member? So how do you define a home? It could be multiple types of homes, right? Like I've had students write about a yoga studio, how they feel home there and I'll give you a couple lines. I've had students write about a rec center where they go play basketball for where they've gone basically almost every Thursday for six years and then grandma's house. So like it could be a very specific your typical home or house or it could be somewhere that you feel the most welcomed and free to be your most authentic self, right? So I really like that. First you want to kind of define your parameters of home. And then once you offer that, you want to offer your perspective on it. So what have you contributed? What have you learned? And that's kind of key. So for the yoga studio essay, here are a couple of pulled quotes. While 78 year old Cindy with salt and pepper hair and my 13 year old cousin who is a competitive gymnast may seem to have nothing in common. When the teacher offers up the first downward dog, we're all equal on our mats. So we get the sense that first we dropped the kind of geographical pin right in the yoga studio without kind of telling phrases at the yoga studio that I've gone to twice a week for the last three years. That's less interesting as we see an older woman and a younger cousin and then kind of coming together in this space. So that already is telling me that there are multiple demographics coming together here that home here is about diversity, but it's also about finding commonality. So I really, really like that. And then you want to talk about kind of how you measure happiness, how you measure belonging and how you want to bring that to the Brown community. Ultimately, you are applying to become part of this community, right? This college campus. So you definitely want to kind of talk about something that has been most enriching and fulfilling as a home, but then also what have you kind of contributed or taken with you as a lesson learned that you can bring to your new community. So if you are applying to the program in liberal medical education, there are three more essays. Yay. And so I'm going to give you the prompts real quick and kind of some two cents, but if you want more info on this, definitely comment below. Let me know that you want more and I can do a video on this. All right. So prompt one, committing to a future career as a physician while in high school requires careful consideration and self reflection. What values and experiences have led you to believe that becoming a doctor in medicine is the right fit for you? So this is 250, a short essay, right? Like two, maybe three small paragraphs, short paragraphs. So you definitely want to have kind of like a mini personal statement in the sense of let your experiences guide you. Maybe you have two experiences, whether that's been volunteering or in a clinical space. So volunteering at a children's hospital, let's say, or at an elderly facility and kind of zoom into very specific exchanges with a patient or in research. So kind of have this kind of balance between your big dreams, but then also anchor them in very concrete experiences. Prompt two, most people describe a career as a physician doctor as a profession beyond a job described for us what professionalism and the profession of a physician doctor means to you. So this is very similar to the home one. So first you want to define the term, right? So what are the parameters of professionalism for you? What does that kind of type of attribute or behavior look like? So you don't have to start with a definition. You can start with an example or a story form in of your personal experience of you showing, exemplifying those traits, and then you can have a kind of follow up reflective, what does professionalism mean to me and how you showed that in the experience. Or because you've been writing a few, if you have this kind of story up top and then reflection bottom type template, you want to kind of switch it up, you can definitely start with the definition and then kind of have the story to kind of back it up as evidence. And then prompt three, how do you envision the program in liberal medical education helping you to meet your academic personal and professional goals as a person and as a physician of the future. So remember Brown at the heart of the kind of admission profile is this idea of open curriculum. I know this is asking about the PLME, but you want to kind of talk about how you would take initiative within this specific program. So how will this program develop your academic professional and personal attributes. So some essays I've seen are kind of actual attributes that students kind of work through and then tie them to those three buckets and then bring in very specific kind of advantages and opportunities that this program offers. Others have kind of really anchored it as kind of a typical what I would call medical school personal statement because it's kind of anchored in story and reflection of experiences you've already had. So as the longest of the two, you want to kind of spend kind of considerable amount of time both kind of showing and then some reflecting and telling, right? You want kind of more kind of descriptive whenever possible so that you really anchor that in experience. You're applying as a high school student, you haven't had the kind of time that undergrads and postbacks who are applying to medical school have for the kind of breath of clinical and volunteer experiences that they tend to have. So they know that, right? But you still have, I'm assuming, pretty memorable foundational experiences that have set you on this course to decide so quickly and so young in your career, right? So you want to kind of develop that a little bit. If you found this helpful, please give us a like, subscribe, and make sure that you are checking out our template. And if you have kind of like supplements or drowning you, you definitely have those in the description below. Thank you.
