emerged from a point of infinite density and zero volume. A singularity nothingness. Isn't that crazy.And somehow here we are panicking about college applications, exam scores, and how we what we're going to do with our lives. We live in a world obsessed with proof. proof of our potential, proof of our worth, proof that you're going somewhere successful.And if you don't have these things yet, if you're still figuring it out, it's easy to feel like you're already behind.

You want name not for your ego, bro, but just that when someone um Googles you, you sound legit. And you may want love. The unconditional unfiltered love of a mom. Just plain love, right?

[Music] 15 years ago, on a sunny March afternoon in a British high school biology class, I was so bored. My teacher, Mr. . Baba, was droning on about the mitochondria as I watched dust particles dance in the afternoon light.Biology was a list of facts that I memorized. It didn't it didn't feel like it had anything to do with me until Mr. . Baba turns to the board and draws a square then divides it into four boxes.He began filling in the boxes, showing how blue eyes and brown eyes pass from parents to childr ...
