The Cube presents On the Ground. Hey, welcome back everybody. Geoffrey here with The Cube. We're on the ground in Santa Clara, California at the Anita Board of Women and Vision Awards. And we're really excited in this next segment to have one of the award winners for technology and entrepreneurship, Pooja Sankar, the founder and CEO of Piazza. Welcome. Thank you. It's great to be here. Congratulations on the award. Thank you. So tell us a little bit about Piazza. Yeah, sure. Well, Piazza really stems from my own story as one of three women studying computer science. I wished I had something that would enable me to ask classmates questions. And so 10 years fast forward as a grad student at Stanford Business School, I decided to build a platform that would connect classmates to their peers, to their instructors and enable them to ask questions about hard homework problems that they were working on and under the veil of anonymity if they needed to. And it's grown to over a million students now worldwide. A million students? Wow. So it's a real time communication vehicle. It is. I'm working on a hard problem for my need. I need some assistance right now. And your classmates log in. So a professor sets up the private Piazza for their class and students can log on. And if they're afraid that there are questions, a dumb question, they can ask anonymously. And it really brings out a lot of collaboration. Interesting. So when did you start it? How long have you been at it? Kind of basics on the company. Yeah. So I was at Stanford as a grad student in 2008 to 2010. And that's when I pretty much built the first prototype myself and then started to launch it to Stanford students, Stanford classes. It got real traction. 2011 is when we publicly launched the website. And 2011 it grew to MIT, Harvard, Berkeley, Princeton, beyond Stanford, and then from there, hundreds more schools within a couple of years to now over 90 countries, 1,500 universities. Wow. And have you taken outside funding? We have. So late 2011, when Bessemer specifically saw the reach we had gotten and the word of mouth, the organic growth among professors and students for them, that was just huge to see sort of product be picked up by professors to further education. I mean, that's a very inspiring mission for many to get behind. And so late 2011, we did our Series A with Bessemer. And then 2013, we did our Series B with Coastal Ventures, who saw the potential to make this into so much more beyond learning, helping students ace the classroom. But then how do you help them think about their career? So an entire recruiting platform that now enables brands like Facebook or Google or Apple or Microsoft to really start leveraging the platform, the data, and recruit kids. Wow. As you're saying the story, I can't help but think of Facebook. That they started at Harvard, and then they went after the IVs, and they kind of grew through the academic side in the academic community. You're doing the same, but for a very different kind of objective, not just to date. But actually, share some knowledge and help me with hard problems. And then how many people are you now? We're 30 today. 30 today. So that's an interesting take on the scale that you can reach with a relatively small team. Yeah. So we were three people when we had gotten to 30,000 students, three people. And professors used to think we were 100-person company, because our product was so polished. And it was just the three of us iterating constantly, working with the professors, working with the TAs, working with the students at Stanford, making the product much, much, much better with their feedback. It was an idea came in the morning. Feedback came in the afternoon. The push was done by night.  And it made the product really polished, really mature. And I remember going out to MIT and Harvard and Berkeley. And every professor thought, we must be 100-person company, because they were not used to seeing such polished products. And I was like, nope, we're three people. One front end intern, one back end engineer. And I touch up the front end every now and then I talk to teachers and get feedback. Was it a Stanford engineering student as well? It was a Stanford intern. I love that. So I'd love to get your tape, because I think one of the great engines, I don't think it's enough pub for Silicon Valley, is Stanford and Cal and the academic institutions and just this constant flow of smart people that don't leave. And really just this culture of, yeah, sure, start another company, start another company. You know, I don't know how many people know that Sun was a Stanford University network. Has nothing to do with Sun, you know. We got to connect a couple of department computers. How do we do it? So share your perspective on that culture that really helped you kind of kicked out this idea from an idea to really a successful company. Yeah, I do think I was really lucky to be at Stanford at the time. So as a grad student in the MBA program, founders were coming every single day in entrepreneurship classes, sharing their stories. And I think for me, it really dawned on me in the class, the formation of adventures, that for really to go out and start a company, it's about finding an idea you're passionate about. And then it's just really baby steps. How do you think about the next baby step and the next one and the next one? And so for me, the next, the first baby step was okay, what will it probably turn us all over? I thought really hard. And for me, it specifically actually narrowed down to women studying technical subjects and how do I help them get a support group? And then broadened it up to realize, wow, many kids today feel isolated, they feel shy, they feel their questions down. So how can I help the broader population who's trying to learn get the best learning possible? And then it was about what does an online platform look like? And I would take mocks and just start mocking it and show it to anyone I could find who would sit down with me and listen to me and they'd give me feedback. And after a few months, I'd really polish the mocks enough to then pick up the real code. Like, let me start writing code. So I picked up a book on Ruby on Rails, taught myself how to build a web app and then wrote the first prototype of Piazza over the summer between my first and second year of business school in 10 days. And then again, it was just baby steps. Okay, well, now I have a working website. How do I find a professor and found a professor? Then how do I get the professor to enroll his or her students? And did that, then how do I get students to post their first question? And that was its own struggle and got a student to post a question and then a second question and a third question. And really, within a year and a half, I'd probably taken 500 to 1,000 baby steps and before I knew it, a year and a half later, I had real traction, real classes, using it real students, asking and answering on a daily basis. That's a terrific story. So really, to focus in on a very specific target that you can identify and deliver, we talk a lot about personas. You know, who's the persona that you're trying to deliver some value to and then just don't boil the ocean. Just take it one step at a time. Yeah, yeah. So it's a need of board. And kind of how long have you been involved and how are they really changing the game? Yeah, I mean, I was invited to speak at Grace Hopper a couple of years ago. Many, many women at the college level know Piazza. They use Piazza. They feel safe being able to post anonymously their questions on Piazza and learn, again, hard technical subjects. So I was really excited. I mean, I've been close to Utele. I've been close to Grace Hopper. I've been a speaker there. I love that they can bring together thousands of women each year and help them feel supported. I think that's very important for any minority group, honestly, but it resonates deeply with me in my own story being a woman who studied computer science at IIT in India. You know, 1% acceptance rate into IIT. One of three girls only studying computer science. It was terrifying. It was isolating. And if we really want to think about that day and age where we have 50, 50 split of men and women in a CS class, it's gonna take a lot to get there. And so whatever society can do and whatever Grace Hopper can do and whatever they are doing, these are the things that are gonna make a huge change in how to get women more embracing computer science. And whatever Piazza can do because you're operating kind of right there on the edge, right? Right when they're still in school and they're trying to help encourage them because people talk a lot. Is it a problem? I know a lot. Retention problem. You know, it's a little of everything for sure, but I will say there was a female student at Princeton who said, I was terrified of taking my first CS class. I thought I wouldn't enjoy it. And I ended up enjoying it so much more because I had Piazza as an aide.  So what are you looking forward to this year, Grace Hopper? Well, I'm actually on a panel talking about women's STEM diversity workforce. It's a topic very close to my heart. And today when I think about it, in addition to our recruiting platform, we've got an add-on that enables companies to target women specifically. How do I find women who have taken algorithms and machine learning and data science problems and have been coding since the age of 16 or have started a company or, you know, and so it's one of the many tools that I think employers can start employing in the day and age of technology, really, to increase diversity in the workforce. And so that is a topic that I'm very, very passionate about when you think about, yeah, there's aid and support from women in college, but then there's aid and support and kind of ways for employers to connect with women to really increase the ratios then in the workplace. Right, well, again, congratulations on your award. Fantastic. Thank you. And we'll see you in Houston in October. Thank you. Absolutely. With theCUBE, we are on the ground at the Anita Board Women of Vision Awards. Thanks for watching.

Okay. Now, so I'm gonna show you Kind of kind of like what he did. I'm gonna show you three different knives I'm gonna show you what I started out with when I first started camping and I started camping at 12 or 13 years old So I'm gonna show you the the knife I started out with and the the knife that I that I currently use and I'm gonna show you the knife That I'm gonna be using in the future, you know, like that may be my future favorite Okay But the the past and the current are my favorites So we'll just we'll just go from there now I'm gonna put you down on a small tripod onto the desk so you guys can see this better and Maybe even hear me better Okay, guys now my past favorite knife Now I've used more as but I've always bought the cheap ones the $20 and under Moore's They're great great freaking knife but We're not here to talk about more per se I Don't have a more Right now, but I do plan on getting another one, but this knife here. It's not my first knife, of course I don't have it anymore But my first knife was almost identical to this Only this one's got a plastic handle mine had like a simulated bone and It may have been plastic, but it may have been that other kind of plastic that's it's better than this stuff And it didn't have this on it, but it was just a folding pocket knife just like this straight edge Okay, and like I said, it didn't have this now I sell these They're called Polkats I sell these and I kept this one for myself because it reminded me of the The knife that I used to have You know when I was young and then I had that knife for many years Finally it got lost or something. I can't remember But that's this I sell these now for $2 a piece I think or three Pretty good pretty good little knife. I mean it's durable. It's okay, but as you know as you can see when I was a kid I didn't do a lot of batoning or anything like that So, you know this this little knife here Like I said, it was similar to this one. I almost like the shape was pretty much identical to it but So we're talking back in the 80s, but I'm this it's a decent knife I mean it's it's just a china knife, but this is um, you know So but I'm going to keep it because you know, I put up my toolbox What not I carry it with me just nice little light little knife You can put put on a key chain or make a little lanyard or whatever with it But so I brought brought this one out of the toolbox to show you, you know that that What my my past knife used to look like, okay? Now my current knife, okay, which I sell these as well But my current knife is This one I kept one for myself because if you can see maybe the It's a little faded Okay, so I decided to keep this one for myself now. This is a very sharp knife Okay, as you can see full tang it just just do it one blade So this is This is my my current knife. This is the one I will be taking camping with me this summer I used to have a knife kind of like this about 10 years ago only Instead of it didn't have this and it didn't have this part right here I forget what that's called, but it did have like a blood trough in it but it's actually It's actually fairly comfortable really I mean You know for It's like a $10 knife. I sell these for 10 bucks all day long people love them and I got some with the blue That are blue down here Black ones I Got one black one left. It's black down here They're woven a little different each one But this this one I decided to keep for myself Because it'll be a nice. It's got a nice sheath to it but Also, there is another one. I will be I Will be bringing camping with me It is a knife, but it's also more Which I have not done a review on yet, but it's this okay This is really cool it's a little a little hatchet and this thing is sharp So this this will be a good camping Camping knife. It's got a little hammer a little wrench thing It's this This is this is wood and the rest of its metal. There's no plastic in this Except for this. This is kind of rubberized The guard Is of course, it's got all it's got your little saw You know, it's got a But I can I included it because it does have a knife on it So when I'm camping this will be the one I have I will have on on my side this one a lot I will have for like, you know don't a little whittling and Stuff like that And this one I'll keep in my pocket Okay, so this is my current actual favorite right now. I mean It is it does have a little weight to it but I mean When it's on your belt, you know some guys carry guns it weighs a lot less Then again, you know, and it's got this it's got the The file with another type of a serrated edge there so yeah, it's This is a this is good good quality So this was given to me by a guy by the name of Steve that sets up with us when we sell He's a guy get like all my all my stuff off of Not all but a lot of the stuff I sell He's kind of like my little wholesaler. He gave this to me for my birthday Because I liked it and you know said it'll it'll go on your belt You can also stick this in your back pocket.  Okay now my future I don't know if it's gonna be my favorite or not, but you guys saw me Building this knife. I did a video on it now This knife is not going to be the one I keep this one is the one for sale the one I keep I'm gonna make I'm gonna make a few more and I'm gonna do different colors like I'll do red white blue one Anyway, this this is a It's a scorpion But this this is a good chopping knife, but what I want to do is I may If I don't do it with this one, I may keep another one. I've got like six of these and I'd like to make one Somebody's looking at my chipper. I think something I may You know put a handle You know like this on here, but I don't know Because I'd like to make one of these for myself. I'm and I like the long handle cuz I can chop with it But I think I'll go with a just a straight blade on it without the serrated Serrated edge. Although this this thing is is very very sharp Is a stainless steel blade so But and it's thick it is it is sturdy, but I'm sure it'll break if you stab something try to pry I'm sure you know It's not gonna break where my where my welds are that's for sure But you know the tip might might break or whatever, but this is going to be one of my future ones once I get it made all I'll show you guys and I'll make me a sheath or get a sheath, you know that I can carry it in You know what I mean? I Might make it a little smaller. I don't know yet But anyway, this is just a rough idea because like I said this one is a selling knife and it It's gonna have the one that I make for myself is gonna have a paracord on it. This is this is very comfortable You know, I mean it's it's Not super heavy, but it is a little bit, but it's well balanced like I said you can Chop with it. So yeah again future future knife current current knife knives and The past like I said, I just started out with a little pocket knife And I think I had one of them so key saws. Yeah. Yeah, I had a so key saw You know that folds out kind of like a knife Does it's like it's only it's a saw, you know about so long. I did have one of them But like I used this for you know, actually I used it for cleaning not this particular one mind you but I used for cleaning fish and You know squirrels and stuff like that So There's that so there is my tag video So there you go. Those are my my three knives again Remember, it's really big monkey one fun in the woods with Dave Pearson. He also He does cooking, you know on the fire and stuff. He think he calls it chef Dave or but Yeah, cooking with Dave or something like that He you know, he has just different recipes a lot of times he comes up with recipes himself and I have tried some of his recipes and they are Phenomenal and he shows you how to do it and and things like that and it's all it's all on on the open fire He does he's done a few builds he built a thing to go in the back of his bicycle to haul his Like is, you know camping equipment and stuff like that because he doesn't take a tent He he has tarps and he always has plenty of rope and paracord and he carries him shetty And usually like a more knife on to the machete. So he's well equipped Again, check him out really big monkey one his Link will be in the description. So please stop by and check him out Awesome. If you guys are into bush crafting and camping guys will love his channel Outstanding so I will say special thanks to him. Thanks Dave for you know for sharing that with us and giving us an idea of You know of our video and Sharing what our knives used to be what they are now and what we plan on using in the future So again Dave, thanks. Appreciate that. So anyway guys with that being said, I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend Shea bear the myth the man legend. I'm gone for now. Bye. Bye guys. Take care and be safe


We're very rarely in the office, we're very rarely doing powerpoint and projection, we're out there in the field, we're training in our warrior skill level tasks. It's rough, it's tough, we're adaptable and we're very resilient. It's one of those things that you have to be cut out for, such as detainee operations, going out on convoys, escorting VIP personnel, understand that you're going to come in and you may be on a 12-hour shift, a 14-hour shift and your QRF just responded and you don't necessarily have the team that you need to but there's another VIP that's either approaching or getting ready to leave the wire. You have to have that ability to keep pushing forward, that motivation to keep moving. Military police soldiers have to be tough, they have to be able to deploy and mobilize very quickly and be able to operate in austere environments and the soldiers out here training are doing just that, we're in a mountainous area, they are setting up tents, they're digging the trenches, all while engaging the enemy and actually building a detention facility as well. The establishment of a theater detention facility is hard work. They're pounding stakes day in and day out. They're also running thousands of meters of constantino wire to ensure the safety of the enemy prisoners of war. Lethality still plays a role in what we do day to day. We still have to get to the fight, we still have to defend ourselves during the fight and the overall lethality of the army itself, getting the enemy prisoners of war off the battlefield or the displaced civilians off the battlefield allows for those combatant commanders to get after what they do and that's bring it to the enemy. Specifically with detention operations, we don't operate in a vacuum, we are in daily interaction with these other specialties in the execution of the mission. For maneuver units or the units who are closer to the front lines and fighting our battles, we have to free up their ability to move around and do their mission. It's very possible that the next conflict we find ourselves in will be a large scale peer on peer conflict that can result in large numbers of enemy prisoners of war. When they take enemy prisoners of war or displaced civilians, we want to move them away from the front lines into a secure area. So military police as a branch, that is one of our major missions, is to ensure that freedom of maneuver for those combat units. People don't understand how well rounded MPs are, you're not just detention operations or combat support or law enforcement, you need to be good in all those aspects and there's very few MOSs that have that same requirement. We went from doing this in the cold in Iowa in February to doing this in the 90 degree heat in Fort Hunter Leggett in just a couple of months. Always be ready so you don't have to get ready at a moment's notice. The pace picks up very fast. We're combat support so anything can hit us at one time. You have to be ready for everything. They really love to be part of the fight. When you love what you do, your attitude and your demeanor while you're out here in theater, it just gives you that level of endurance.


Hi guys, it's Monica. I'm going to give you a little bit of an update at the end of this video and I'm also going to share my favorite lippies. And this is in response to some of your questions because I know that I'm very lackadaisial about listing my lipsticks and I always seem to get questions on that. And it always kind of surprises me because I don't have gorgeous lips, they're thin, you know, stuff like that. But so that's in a minute address and then I'll do a little bit of an update on my dad at the end. Thank you so much for joining me guys, I'm going to share with you some of my tried and true lipsticks. I am a creature of habit when I find something I really like, whether it's a color, whether it's the consistency, I kind of really stick with that. So I'm often asked what lipstick do you have on? Well, it is, it's hard for me to identify a lot because I am a lipstick layer person. I do, I layer a lot. But I normally, you know, I typically will use a little bit of a lip liner and it is usually the all about mob lip liner that I'd buy from Avon. That has been my lip liner that I've used for eons, eons. I absolutely love that lip liner. I also use some of their brow products but that's really about it from the Avon line that I use. But I've used the lip liner for a long time I really like it. I always gravitate to that lip liner no matter how many other lip liners I have in my collection at that moment. So that is one of my tried and truths. And then normally it depends on what I normally do. I should backtrack a little bit. Normally when I get up and I do my skincare, I also do a gentle lip exhalation and currently probably for the last, well before COVID anyways, because I think about this in maybe February or even January, I've been using the ELF and it's a sugar scrub and I put that on my lips. It's kind of rough. One side is rougher than the other but I just go through my lips and I kind of exfoliate a little bit every morning because at night I'm using lip creams that I put on and all that. So in the morning I exfoliate my lips. Once I'm all set and I'm all ready for my makeup, my lipstick is usually the last thing that I add. The first thing that I add when I'm getting ready for my makeup is my mascara. I do it very wacky. I do my mascara first and then I do my eyeshadows and all that stuff and then I do my foundation. So while all that's going on and drying, my sunblock is drying and all that stuff, but then I use my lipstick. So I have for a long time been using one particular nude brand of lipstick and it's actually Rimmel and it's Kate and I know that it comes in a different packaging now but I have just reordered mine and the only place you can see I'm almost empty. I love this. This is the only nude that really works well for me and I'm not willing to spend money to experiment on a ton of different nude lipsticks because every time I've done that I've been disappointed. This nude works well for me. It doesn't turn orange. It makes my lips look nice. I like lighter lips rather than darker lips on me. It's my preference. So this is typically my nude. Now sometimes I use this as a topper more often than not. So if I'm going to be like for example today, I have a darker hair today. So I used, this is one of my favorites. This is I think it's Orchid by Becca and I've had this for quite a while too. I use this. This was originally sent to me complimentary via the Octoly Network. I have, I love this. This is a perfect shade. It gives me some color. So if I want to have a darker lip, this is what I start out with. I line my lips. I color it in with this. Usually if I want a darker neutral lip and then very, then often I'll top it with my number 45, my Rimmel. I like that. I like the Rimmel a lot. My lip gloss of choice, I have two that I use all the time. One lip gloss I will use typically when I'm not wearing any lipsticks and that is my City Beauty. This was also sent to me complimentary at one point quite a while ago. This is the only lip gloss that I like to wear without anything else on. So if I'm not having, like I'm home, I'm doing stuff like that. I don't want to have a bunch of makeup on or lipstick on, but I like to have a little lip gloss. It's my City Beauty and this is the shade. Let me see if I can grab the shade. It's called City Lips Clear. This isn't a shade. City Lips Clear. This is really what I like. Now typically on top of my lipstick because I like to add a little shine no matter where color I'm wearing, I used to always get the Buxom in. I would say for high end, the Buxom White Russian has been my go-to favorite for a long time for high end. I ran out of that before COVID hit and I haven't replaced it. But what I have been using consistently along with the White Russian all along has actually been this hard candy and I actually like the hard candy glosses a lot. So I had like four of them. I finished two. This one is pretty well almost gone and this is the lightest shade which I happen to like the best because it is so light and it's called Girl Next Door. I really like that a lot. I'm going to definitely when I next get to the store I'm going to pick this up because I really like this. This other one I also like. It's just a little bit of a darker shade. It's called Barely There. I mean I actually like both of them but I just prefer the lighter one on me. Then I have and I bought these. I love these lipsticks so depending on what I'm doing I absolutely love the color of the world lipsticks a lot and I have just replaced them. The ones that I really like is called Flawless and Independent. This is what they look like. Now with the color of the world lipsticks they have a very soft formula. So I'm almost gone on this one. I love this one. I just think they're so pretty and this one is flawless and this one is Independent. They are just my colors. They are really just my colors. I really like them a lot and I have bought them. They don't go into your lines so you know I mean I really like them. Are they long lasting? I'm not too sure. I don't think you can probably tell but I have Flawless on the top, Independent on the bottom. I just really really like them and I will probably order them again. I just got another order in so I'm probably good. I mean these are almost gone so I'm probably good for one another six months or so but on top of that I normally like to have and these are Maybelline lippies and my two favorite on my Maybelline is Lust for Plush and that's $6.65 and the second one is Romantic Rose. Almost gone. It's open as far as it'll go and definitely will be repurchasing. This one has a little bit more but not much so you can tell that these two are the two that I grab all the time. So you know when I'm talking about lipsticks that I continuously use those are it.  I don't know initially what it's supposed to hold. I think just a lipstick. I have my lip gloss in there. I actually got this as a gift when we did the girls weekend in Atlanta from Matta Cyrus. I almost I'm going to link her channel because I always say her name wrong but Matta had given this as a bunch of and some other things too as a gift but I use this all the time. So when I go to put my lip gloss on I always think of Matta. Thank you Matta. And my lip gloss that I have in here is just the Bigelow. You get the set bath and body works very very reasonable. I have this in Pearl Mint. I really like it Pearl Mint. The other thing that I carry around it I it's kind of weird how I use this. This is actually from Radiant Labs and this was also something that was sent to me a while ago via the Octoly Network Complementary in exchange for review and Radiant Labs and this is their CBD Bomb and it's a stick Phillips. It says hydrating stick Phillips. Well when I first got it I said it's so thick. You know it really is it's thick but I I use this probably four or five times a day and I love the fact that it is thick because if I don't have lipstick on I go right above my lip. I go into my lip lines and I give it all a good surge of moisture. I've also been known to dab on the corner of my eyes during the day. I love this stick so I know it says it's for lips but I actually use it for a lot of things other than lips on my face. So those are my tried and true. I have a stack of lipsticks. I really do but I gravitate to those. I like those.  Every time I put darker darker lipstick on I feel weird. I just don't I don't like it on me as much. So that I wanted to share with you. I also wanted to share with you this product that was sent to me from Octoly not about lips I know but it's from Billion Dollar Babe. I was like the packaging was so cute when it came in. So this was sent to me from Octoly in exchange for a review complimentary Billion Dollar Beauty and they put this little note in here BDB Billion Dollar Beauty their team and they even spelled my name right because a lot of people spell it wrong and it says enjoy your products. We can't wait to see your content. So what they sent me was a and I'm really excited about this because this is so travel friendly. It is a highlighter and a concealer stick and they sent a really nice brush and so this brush is charcoal infused. It's vegan and it's called a concealer. Now what I like about it is that it's so small but so nice that for me it's going to be when I use any kind of things concealer around my eyes. This is going to be what I'm going to use. I haven't really dipped into the brush so to speak yet but I'm bringing it with me. However this concealer stick and highlighter stick is the nuts. I really like it. So you get a concealer very very emollient for me. I really like it. It's not drying so if I'm touching up a dab here or there it's not at all drying and on one end is a creamy highlighter and I'm liking the highlighter. I'm liking the cream concealers. I like the fact that they're creamy and they're not. I don't know you probably can't see it but I just put them on my hands. They go on super super super super nice. So I've been using this. I just I thought the presentation was really awesome. Love their love the way they did the presentation and a personal note. I am whenever you get a personal note like that and your name is felt right. I think it's like super super super cool. So that's it for my lips and I really wanted to to give you that information. I also wanted to tell you that you may have seen some videos come you know be published. Many of you know that my dad passed away. Many of you know that it was extremely close to my dad. I still have a hard time believing that he's really gone even though I was with him when he passed and I know he's gone. You know I I know he's gone. I get that. I understand that it's just really hard to imagine a world without him after all these years and I know I'm blessed guys. I know I'm blessed to have had him for as long as I've had him and to have had a dad that was so good and caring. But anyways what I wanted to say is that you may have seen videos come after my father's passing. Some of my videos have been pre-recorded. I don't even know sequentially when this is going to be published this one but I just want to tell you I have gotten so many so many cards and messages from you. I just I don't even know where to begin. I have a stack of cards. I've read them. Some of them have long notes in them and I'm like oh my gosh and I know we haven't met you know. We haven't met and for you to take the time out of your life to have sent the cards and the notes and the well wishes and some of you have gone onto the obituary for my dad and left notes there. It's like heartwarming. It's so totally heartwarming and when we're going to have my dad's services still going to come I'm going to be working on a few things to say for his when during his service when we come back. So I'm going to be working on that Jay and I are going to Bar Harbor Main. When you see this we might already be there. I'm not too sure but my dad's services is going to be in mid-august. We're waiting for my niece to be able to come up and just waiting for a few other things to have aligned into the right order to be able to to do the type of memorial service that we really wanted to remember my dad and all that but I just wanted to tell you that even though you're seeing videos that might be out of order and all that and I just want you to know that I I am reading all your cards and all your well wishes and and the things you've sent it's just it's so touching and so heartwarming and I just want to thank you all so so very much. I also want to tell you that I have worked on my smile every single day. I think on one of my some of you read it or heard it where I said I didn't know if I would ever be able to smile again and for my dad I'm a smiling and YouTube all of you just touched me. I just wanted you to know that. I just wanted you to know that that I read all your messages and I'm touched beyond. I've also shared them with my mom and she's touched as well and so anyways I'm getting weepy aren't I? I didn't mean to be weepy. I just wanted to because I know that when it's when you have videos that are pre-recorded sometimes you don't want to you know you don't get a chance to say what you might have wanted to say if it was recorded in real time so anyways I just want to thank you all. Thank you.


I work here already 17 years. I still love this job because when they're happy, I feel happy too. The staff are aware what is the best for the elderly population who needs the sensitive cultural care. Being able to communicate directly with the person who understands your language, I think it's very important. Everybody talk Chinese, everybody get nice mail. Happy, happy every day. As a caregiver here, we can spend more time to communicate with them and know and find out what they need. It was very clear to me that being in a culturally sensitive environment is the concept of a real home. I feel happy because we help seniors. That's why I love this job.
