Short first-person reflection (YouTube #shorts) where the speaker recalls school personal-development sessions in Year 10, their early desire to start a personal brand, and a teacher dismissing that ambition as 'not a real thing.' The clip argues schools don't support entrepreneurship and shows the speaker's early creative tendencies (drawing, making clothes) being downplayed.
I initially fought in school when I got to psd. I don't know if you've done PSD in school, but we had, like. It was like, personal development. And when it got to, like, year 10, that was when they were like, start thinking about your careers now. What do you want to do? The whole side of the room was full of trays, A to Z, and each of them had, like, different careers in. So I had a little rummage, and then I actually do recall completely sitting down and being like, I want my own brand. I always said that. At first I thought it was clothing. So I was like, I want my own brand. I want to see my name on something. And the teacher was like, nah, that's not a real thing. Like, come pick something that's not a real thing. Because schools don't support entrepreneurship anyway, do they? I don't know. You're still young then, aren't you? Like, I weren't, like, actively through being a kid, thinking about starting businesses and stuff. I wasn't that guy. But I would always be drawing. I'd always be creating shit like making my own clothes and stuff. I just kind of took that as perhaps that's not what people do. As such, we were still young then, so.
