Okay.
Imagine that it is October. I am doing my year-end around six locations.
I hired a camp director this year who is an EA at one of the schools. She was under 30—she is no longer—so I was able to pay her through the summer with that rate. Again, she's an educational assistant in the school system, so she makes a good salary. I gave her a percentage of the profit-sharing at the end. I had no idea how many grants I was going to get when I met her. I had no idea how many camps I could run. I have to get spaces in the schools, but I don't know which municipalities are going to approve me. One gave me three. One gave me 12. One gave me 15. One gave me 22. It was the same application to all of them every single time.
Your applications came out early this year, in December, while I was on my vacation, so during my vacation I filled out all the grants because I didn't want to miss it. Because of my neurodiversity, it takes me a lot longer to do things than other people. There's really no accessibility for that either.
I really love what I'm doing. I'm making a big change in the world. I'm opening up a college of psychotherapy, so I can train more therapists to offer more support.
Throughout the year I use as many programs as I can to get government money from to help as many people as possible. If you did this all year, I could do a lot more with a lot less of my energy.
That's it.
