“It’s a good place because you can walk around without people doing anything, it’s fun things to do out here, we have a teen center and you can do art, and you can play basketball, and they feed you right after you’re done at 5:00. You can get like chicken Alfredo, or ham or something, like they just give you food. There’s a chef in there and he [makes] food.

I like my school because I got friends that I can trust and stuff. I could just give them my phone without them running away or something like bad stuff. My friends are always helping. And I like school, because I can get an education, go to college, and do something with my life.”
