An interview with a classmate.


“I am proud of being at this school and like being here in general, I am proud of being bilingual I guess, just like multi-talented...I am fluent in English and Spanish and am trying to learn other languages.”

“I want to move out, that's definitely a goal, because I want to move like to a city, like to San Francisco or something like that. I want to study abroad like in high school maybe. Like I wanna go to England really bad so that's a big goal… I want to go to school to be a like a funeral director or mortician which isn’t really common but I want to do that.”
