welcome
to
avid
achievers-
I
am

areta
coordinator
of
avid
this
season
on
avid
achievers.
We

the
county,
who
will
be
interviewing
their
former
avid
students
in
their
college
settings.
These
interviews
will
help
us
to
learn
more
about
local

and
see
what
skills
these
avid
students
from
aacps
are
putting
to
use
in
the
college
setting.
We
hope
you
enjoy
these
interviews.
B
Hello,
my
name
is
jennifer
ballard
and
I
was
the
avid
site
coordinator
at
glen,
burnie
high
school
and
now
I'm
an
avid
elective
teacher
at
north
county.
I
am
your
guest
host
for
avid
achievers
today
today.
We're
excited
to
be
joined
by
davon,
who
is
a
glen
burnie
alumnus
davon.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
today.
Can
you
start
by
introducing
yourself
and
telling
us
what
college
you're
attending.
C
Currently
now
I
am
I'm
finishing
at
mercy
college
in
new
york,
dallas
ferry,
but
I've
I
took
a
little
a
little
route,
so
I
went
to
la
coleman,
college
and
williamsport
pa
there's
a
couple
of
people
from
globally.
That
actually
goes
there
now
and
then
I
went
to
aacc
anne
arundel
county
community
college
and
then
I
finished
that
mercy
where
I'm
currently
at
now.
B
C
Elementary
if
you
went
to
glen
burnie
north
county,
any
of
the
surrounding
schools,
north
county
glen,
bernie
battle,
the
bona
bars
every
year
right
next
to
each
other.
So
far,
I'm
not
sure
I
went
to
point
pleasant,
I'm
pretty
sure.
If
you're
at
north
county
or
glen
brown,
you
can
relate
to
north
element,
point
pleasant
elementary,
but
middle
school.
I
went
to
marley
middle
and
same
goes
for
that.
You
can
relate
to
either
one.
C
I
was
in
an
abbott
program
for
about
five
years,
including
my
eighth
grade
year
at
marley,
and
it's
crazy
because
for
avid
you
had
to
start
sixth
grade,
but
they
allowed
me.
I
knew
the
teacher
real
well.
She
knew
me
real
well
and
not
because
I
was
a
good
student
at
the
time,
but
because
I
was
more
so
coming
from
becoming
what
I
am
now
from
being
at
one
of
the
head
cases,
kind
of
thing
you
know,
so
she
let
me
in
and
ever
since
then
it
just.
It
was
just
something
that
helped
me
through.
C
So
for
me
like
abbott
for
me,
I
I
had
a
couple
friends
in
avid
and
they
would
tell
me
what
they
would
do
sometimes
and
then
you
would
think
I
didn't
join
until
eighth
grade
so
six
to
seventh
grade.
It
wasn't
clicking
for
me,
but
once
it
clicked
avid
was
more.
So
it
was
a
preparation,
like
all
of
our
hall
monitors,
all
of
our
honors
students
were
inhabited.
C
So
I'm
like
all
right.
So
there's
one
thing
in
your
schedule
that
I
don't
have
on
my
schedule,
so
it
must
be
making
a
difference
so
and
the
teacher
was
really
she
was
outgoing.
She
was
first
one
in
the
hallway
in
the
morning
you're
walking
down
the
hallway
she'll,
tell
you
to
walk
she'll,
stop
you
and
tell
you
why
you
should
walk
so
it
was
more
so
like
for
me.
I
I
enjoyed
getting
that
that,
even
though
it
wasn't
just
me
that
she
talked
to
that
way,
I
enjoy
getting
that
personal
confrontation
every
morning.
C
B
Now
was
your
avid
teacher,
miss
anderson.
C
Yeah,
miss
anderson
was
definitely
my.
She
was
my
ever
teacher,
but
miss
anderson.
We
actually
our
family
has
a
history.
So
my
whole
family's
went
to
marley
from
my
dad
to
me
to
my
oldest
sister,
I'm
the
youngest
so
to
my
oldest
sister.
We
brought
with
marley.
Mrs
anderson
knew
everybody
like
she
knew
all
of
us,
so
that
also
helped
me
reel
in
to
have
it
like.
She
would
be
the
one
to
stop
me
and
be
like.
I
know
your
dad
like.
B
That's
awesome,
so
it
sounds
like
you
had
a
great
experience
in
the
middle
school.
What
do
you
remember
the
most
thinking
back
at
your
high
school
level,
with
your
avid
class.
C
High
school
level
it
was
avid
for
me,
was
one
of
the
classes
that
I
can
go
to
and
be
free
and
not
be
free
as
and
do
what
I
want
to
be
free,
as
in
I
don't
have
to
sit
and
write
notes.
I
mean
there
came
times
when
you
had
to
do
that.
It
was
more
hands-on.
You
know
it
was
more
hands-on.
We
were
on
a
computer,
a
lot
not
on
a
computer
playing
games
on
a
computer,
filling
out
things
for
the
future,
helping
to
prepare
for
the
future.
C
So
for
me
having
a
high
school,
like,
I
didn't,
really
know
about
college
or
anything
like
that
until
my
sophomore
year.
So
when
I
was
coming
up
in
high
school,
like
I
was
more
so
thinking,
let
me
get
this
degree.
That's
the
only
degree.
Let
me
get
this
diploma,
that's
so
that's
what
you
know.
My
family
preached
kind
of
thing.
You
know,
I'm
being
me
being
a
first
generation
college
student
too.
You
can
understand
why
they
preach
the
diploma.
That's
the
first
thing
they
preach
for
me.
C
B
C
So
one
thing
that
I
just
mentioned
that
you
didn't
really
have
to
do,
but
you
did
have
to
do
it
with
more
of
a
homework
for
us.
You
know
taking
notes
you
had
to
take
notes.
You
had
to
fill
out
notes
and
bring
back
the
classroom
with
the
class
we
did
before.
So
for
me,
that's
something
heavy
that
I
took
to
my
my
college
experience.
That's
something
that
helped
me
along
the
way
like
when
I
was
sitting
avid.
There
would
be
some
time
I'm
like.
C
Why
are
we
filling
out
notes
like
what
are
we
doing
notes
for
like
this
in
the
class?
I
do
notice
in
every
other
class,
but
the
notes
in
the
avid
class
and
the
notes
in
your
regular
class
like
for
math,
I
said
you're
taking
math
notes
in
every
class
you're
taking
strategic
strategical
notes,
so
it
it
prepared
me
to
be
able
to
not
only
take
notes,
but
in
a
different
way.
I
had
many
different
ways,
so
if
I
couldn't
get
it
this
way,
I
got
it
this
way.
C
B
That's
awesome
and
you
mentioned
that
you've
been
to
three
different
schools.
So
when
you
were
you're
a
senior
in
avid,
you
know
naturally
avid
seniors,
they
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
college
applications
and
letters
of
recommendation.
B
C
Lyco,
for
me,
was
a
liberal
arts,
so
in
other
classes,
when
I
did
my
research
about
liberal
arts,
I
think
it
was
actually
an
assignment.
We
had
to
do
research,
one
of
the
schools
that
you
want
to
attend.
But
for
me
it
was
liberal.
Arts
were
well-rounded,
you
know,
so
you
can
get
your
degree
in
whatever
you
want
to
get
it
in,
but
you're
still
going
to
take
them.
Science
classes
them
everything.
C
B
Okay
and
tell
us
a
little
bit
a
lot
about
lycoming:
where
was
it
located?
Is
it
a
big
school
small
school.
C
So
lyco
was
probably
the
equivalent
size,
maybe
a
little
bigger
than
glen
burnie
itself,
but
it
was
in
williamsport
pa
people
will
tell
you
it's
the
country
when
you're
driving
towards
the
country,
but
just
like
you
go
out
north
county
glen
burnie
and
you
got
richie
highway
right
there.
It's
the
same
thing.
You
got
everything
on
that
one
strip.
So
for
me
it
was
so
so
to
me
it
was
kind
of
the
country
because
I
didn't
know
anybody
around
there.
So
I
couldn't
just
pull
up
to
the
neighborhood
goes
to
my
school.
C
I
know
go
somebody's
house,
I
know,
and
you
feel
me
chill
with
them.
Talk
to
them,
hang
with
them
play
games
with
them.
The
same
thing
I
did
in
high
school,
but
it
got
to
a
point
where
you
could
do
that,
because
also
I
like
that
off
campus
housing
and
off-campus
housing
at
lyco
was
the
same
housing
as
regular
people.
C
It
might
be
a
college
student
living
to
a
limited
to
a
60
year
old,
grandmother
or
a
family
of
four.
You
know
so.
For
me,
lyco
and
I
visited.
I
went
visit
a
live
code.
They
had
a
football
team,
it
was
just
like
a
perfect
fit
for
me.
Coming
from
glen
bernie
football
team,
basketball,
team,
volleyball
team,
anything
you
could
think
of
that.
You
had
to
do.
B
And
why
would
you
recommend
visiting
college
campuses
before
making
a
decision.
C
You
have
like
it's
it's
it's.
You
must
visit
a
college
camp
before
you
attack,
like
that's
a
must,
unless
you're
going
to
a
community
college
where
you're
staying
home
if
you're
staying
on
campus,
you
must
feel
you.
It's
a
must
because
for
me
lyco,
I
kind
of
knew
like
college.
Where
I
wanted
to
go
because
of
the
athletics
I
knew
who
the
coach
was.
I
met
the
team
before
I
came
to
the
school,
but
before
I
went
to
live
call
I
did
a
couple
other
business
too.
C
C
This
could
be
the
place
for
me
like
this
could
be
the
place
for
me
so
visiting
a
college
campus
is
important
because
you
get
the
you
get
to
see
what
you're
around
like,
for
instance,
I
was
born
in
the
city
raised
in
the
county,
so
it's
two
different
like
counties
really
the
country
to
the
city,
you
know
so.
For
me,
it
was
like
a
mixture
of
both,
but
I
got
to
see
that
with
my
own
eyes,
rather
than
somebody
telling
me
I
had
people
texting
me.
C
B
That
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
How
long
were
you
there
and
then
why
did
you
transfer
to
the
community
college
here.
C
So
I
was
at
like
coming
for
a
year,
I'm
not
I
didn't
transfer
for
any
academic
reason.
It
was
more
so
basketball.
Like
me
just
following
my
basketball
journey.
At
that
point
I
was
a
freshman
going
to
my
sophomore
year.
My
coach
had
left
and
my
coach
was
pretty
known.
He
coached
team
usa,
so
he
was
pretty
known
so
once
he
left.
C
He
didn't
tell
us
until
the
end
of
the
year,
which
I
understand
he
didn't
want
everybody
to
do
what
I
did
you
know
so
once
he
told
us
I
was
kind
of
last
minute
too.
I
was
like
that's
why
I
went
that's
kind
of
the
reason
I
went
to
aacc.
I
was
last
minute,
so
it
wasn't
like
I
was
sitting
in
my
dorm
room.
I
like
hold
typing
the
application
for
other
places.
C
I
came
home
and
I
was
like
I
sat
in
my
room
and
it
was
just
like
what's
the
next
step
for
me
like
what's
the
next
step,
so
eventually
I
built
up
the
courage
I
met.
I
I
emailed
because
you
know
some
older
people,
my
coaching
acc
is
pretty
old,
so
older
coaches,
don't
do
the
whole
text
thing
so
I
had
to
email
them.
I
let
them
know
hey
like
I'm
coming
out.
C
How
are
you
doing
good
afternoon
coming
out
to
tryouts
whatever
your
child
is
just,
let
me
know,
conditioning
whatever
it
is,
so
I
showed
him
that
I
wanted
to
be
there
kind
of
thing.
So
another
thing
this,
like
I'm
thinking
I'm
gonna
say,
is
when
I
left
my
first
school,
the
new
coach
came
in
and
he
actually
came
in
interviewed
like
the
players.
I
had
three
other
players
from
baltimore
interviewers
told
us
about
him,
told
him
about
himself.
I
would
love
to
have
you
back
kind
of
thing
and
I'm
just
like
coach.
C
I
just
don't
feel
comfortable
going
back
to
life
hope
right
now,
because
when
I
committed
there
it
was
not
only
the
academics
but
for
the
coach
that
was
there
at
the
time.
So
when
I
committed
there-
and
I
left-
I
was
like
coach-
I
appreciate
the
offer-
I
just
don't
feel
I
just
don't
feel
right
going
back
there
and
for
me
the
best.
C
I
wasn't
playing
a
lot
too,
like
coming
from
a
school
where
I
played
36
minutes
and
36
36
minutes
in
a
game
going
to
play
in
two
minutes
three
minutes
in
every
other
game.
For
me,
it
was
more
so
like
I
was
losing
my
never
my
love
for
the
sport,
but
I
was
losing
what
I
put
into
it
over
the
years.
So
for
me
come
back
to
aacc.
I
knew
I'd
be
home
more
like
just
more
more
more
more
comfortable.
B
Okay
and
describe
your
time
at
asucc,
so
how
long
were
you
there?
What
was
it
like?
Just
you
know,
driving
to
campus?
Did
you
attend
anything
on
campus,
like
student
events
other
than
your
basketball
games?
What
was
your
experience
like.
C
So,
yes,
I
attended
a
lot
of
events
so
aacc.
I
was
at
acc
for
a
year
just
a
year,
but
that
goes
into
transferring
as
well.
So
if
I
would
have
went
to
acc
the
first
two
years,
I
would
have
been
good
after
my
sophomore
year.
May
I
end
I
would
have
been
out,
but
because
I
transferred
not
every
credit
transfer
from
my
first
school
now,
every
credit
transfer
there's
some
schools
from
a
liberal
arts
that
people
don't
understand,
but
there's
some
schools
from
liberal
liberal
arts
schools
that
different
colleges
don't
take.
C
Liberal
arts
are
kind
of
like
in
their
own
section.
You
know
so.
When
I
went
to
acc
I
had.
I
had
a
lot
of
transfer
credits
a
lot,
but
when
I
went
to
acc
it
was
two
credits:
maybe
that
didn't
transfer
or
two
credits.
I
was
behind
on
that.
Maybe
I
took
at
lyco,
but
they
weren't
good
enough
for
aacc
standards.
You
know
to
get
associates
at
acc,
so
once
I
transferred
acc,
I
had
a
summer
course.
I
had
two
summer
courses.
They
were
excelled,
so
I
was
there
from
may
15th.
I
think
we
ended.
C
I
was
there
from
may
to
july
12th
once
july,
12th
came
my
associates
was
in
my
hand,
you
know
so,
but
other
than
that
I
attended.
Volleyball
games,
soccer
games,
baseball
games,
I
mean
student
events,
seminars,
everything
and
it
wasn't
because
I
felt
like
I
had
to
at
all.
It
was
more
so
because
acc
like
it's
like
that,
that's
a
place
that
makes
you
it
really
makes
you
feel
at
home.
So
if
I
know
I'm
going
home
at
the
end
of
the
night
land
in
my
bed
I'll
stay
at
campus
long.
If
I
need
to.
B
Now
you
said
that
lyco
was
a
pretty
small
school
and
aacc
has
really
developed
over
the
years.
You
know
we
there's
like
two
different
campuses:
almost
where,
like
there's
a
road
that
you
have
to
drive
through
or
a
bridge,
you
can
walk
across.
So
how
could
you
compare
that
to
liko
in
size
with
aacc.
C
Like
glenn
bernie,
even
that
glenn
bring
until
my
junior
year,
I
I've
seen
a
new
face.
Every
day
kind
of
thing
I
went
to
liko
every
face,
I've
seen
walking
to
class.
At
the
same
time,
I'm
all
in
the
class
like
literally
it
was
like.
We
was
all
in
the
same
time
frame.
I
want
the
class
at
10
55.
I
see
somebody
walking
that
class
10
55.
It
was
all
the
same,
but
when
I
went
to
acc
like
ac's,
are
pretty
people
don't
understand
it's
a
pretty
big
school.
C
When
I
was
there,
they
were
just
starting
to
development.
They
were
just
starting
it.
So
when
I
was
walking
in
the
gym
there
would
be
construction
fences
all
the
way
around
now
in
that
the
construction
area
that
they
were
building,
there's
a
building
there.
Now
you
know
so
for
me,
acc.
I
seen
a
new
face
every
day,
whether
walking
the
class
walking
to
and
it
might
have
been
people.
I
knew
like
throughout
the
county,
like
aacc
you'll,
see
a
lot
of
people
that
you
know
like
that.
C
You
know
a
lot
of
friends
that
you
see
like
throughout
the
county
that
you
won't
even
think
they
go
to
acc.
You
know
I
walk
in
the
library
I
had.
Somebody
checking
me
out
that
I
was
close
friends
with
you
know,
so
that
was
the
size.
Comparison
is
major,
but
when
it
comes
to
aacc
like
if
you're
from
glen
burnie,
you
don't
know
anything
outside
of
glen
burnie,
no
other
high
school,
you
don't
know
about
anybody
from
other
northern
high
school,
then
you'll
be
it'll,
be
like
you're
at
a
division.
C
One
college,
like
you'll,
see
a
new
face
every
day,
but
for
me
I
knew
I
knew
a
couple
people
you
know.
When
I
went
to
aacc
on
the
basketball
team.
I
was
playing
with
people
that
I
used
to
play
rivals
I
was
playing.
I
was
playing
with
rivals
that
I
had
in
high
school
at
acc,
but
we
still
made
it
work,
so
it
was
good
to
see
that
bond
to
form,
and
I
still
talk
to
all
these
dudes
to
the
same
day
like
I.
C
B
That's
awesome
cool,
so
tell
me
about
your
the
school
that
you're
currently
attending
like
where
is
it
located
size
wise?
How
does
it
relate?
Is
it
small,
medium,
large.
C
If
you
look
up
on
google
as
large
okay,
but
that's
because
we
have
a
lot
of
commuters,
so
we
only
got
two-
and
this
is
what
I'm
saying
like
it's
so
like
this-
is
it
might
get
confusing
here
but
mercy
the
school
I'm
attending?
Now
we
had
two
college
dorms,
just
two.
They
were
big,
but
it
was
just
two
and
and
off
campus.
We
had
off
campus
too.
We
had
off-campus
housing,
15
000
students,
but
there
were
a
lot
of
commuters
the
what
was
it
called
the
train.
I
don't
know
what
was
called
the
subway.
C
Yeah
it
compared
it
be
compared
to
light
rail,
but
it's
called
the.
I
can't
remember
the
name
for
it.
I
never
took
it.
I
never
took
it,
but
I
had
my
car
up
there.
I
was
blessed
to
have
my
car
up
there,
but
I
never
took
it,
but
it
was
compared
to
light
rail.
You
know
so,
and
we
had
shuttle
buses
too.
We
had
shuttle
buses,
pick
kids
up
drop
them
off,
but
compared
to
compared
to
aacc
in
my
first
school
mercy
was
big
but
mercy.
C
C
Fifteen
thousand
students.
Maybe
five
thousand
live
on
campus,
you
know
so
it
was
pretty
small,
but
it
was.
It
was
bigger
at
the
same
time
like
our
gym.
Wasn't
too
big,
our
gym
was
probably
the
same
size
as
glen
brown,
but
games
would
be
packed.
So
you
know
people
that,
like
t
like
even
teachers,
teaching
like
I'm
coming
to
see
you
play
today,
we're
like
all
right
cool,
like
you
know
like
come
on
like.
B
That's
nice,
so
it
seems
like
it
has
that
small
campus
feel
where
is
it
located?
The.
C
B
Okay
and
when
you
were
living
on
campus,
what
were
some
of
the
things
that
you
like
to
do
there
like?
What
did
it
have
to
offer
students.
C
So
I
mean
they
got
trails,
mercy
has
trails,
they
have
bike
riding,
like
literally
like
I
don't
know
if
anybody's
been
to
the
city.
But
if
you
go
to
the
city,
you
got
the
scooters.
Now
now
you
got
the
school.
That
said
you
can
rent.
We
had
bikes,
you
can
rent,
you
got.
We
had
bike
racks
for
your
personal
bikes.
There
was
a
gym
right
under
the
college
dorm
they
had,
they
would
play
things
like
freeze
tag.
You
know
like
they
would
have
earphone
parties.
C
That's
when
you
have
when
you
listen
to
your
own
music
and
earphones.
You
have
a
party
outside
we
play
manhunt
like
we
didn't,
have
a
football
team,
but
we
had
soccer.
Our
soccer
was
number
like
top
in
our
division.
Soccer
games
were
lit.
We
had
off-campus
housing
right
down
the
street.
We
had
a
gas
station
if
you
needed
to
walk
right.
Next
to
us,
we
had
a
high
school,
actually
there's
a
couple
people
that
came
out
of
that
high
school
too,
like
pro
players
now,
but
it
was
pretty,
it
was
pretty
cool.
C
You
had
a
pool
and
there's
another
thing.
I
wasn't
there
this
day.
I
wasn't
there.
I
was
late
coming
up
because
I
had
to
get
my
car
had
to
get
a
key
made
for
my
car
pop
smoke
came
to
our
our
school
and
performed
at
our
school.
C
B
Okay,
so
thinking
about
lyco
the
community
college
and
mercy.
What
has
been
one
of
your,
like
favorite
college
memories
to
date
or
college
experiences
to
date,.
C
I
got
too
many
of
them.
Favorite
color
experiences
just
chilling
with
my
team,
not
even
my
team,
but
challenges
with
the
people.
I
knew
like
at
the
college
just
me
meeting
new
people
like
there's
people.
I
met
that
I
talked
to
today.
You
know
like,
but
if
a
favorite
college
experience
I
gotta
go
with.
C
B
What
has
been
one
of
like
the
hardest
transitions
that
you've
experienced
in
any
one
of
your
three
schools
going
either
to
a
different
college
or
from
high
school
to
college?
Your
first
year.
C
C
This
is
so
like
basic,
but
for
me,
as
long
as
ball
was
there,
I
don't
care
where
I
went
so.
The
hardest
transition
was
me
for
me
was
moving
moving
packing
everything
up
on
cue
and
I'm
last
minute
on
everything.
So
every
time
I
moved
for
college,
whether
it
was
going
to
my
first
school
whether
it
was
coming
back
home
from
my
first
school
going
to
the
second
coming
back
home
coming
back
home
the
next
year.
It
was
moving
so
that
for
me
that
probably
had
to
be
the
hardest
transition.
C
I
never
really.
I
was
more.
You
could
probably
testify
to
this.
I
was
more
outspoken,
always
outspoken,
you
know,
so
I
never
really
had
a
problem
meeting
new
people.
People
would
be
like.
Where
are
you
from
like
when
I
was
in
new
york
cause
you
sound
like
you
from
down
south
I'm
like
maryland,
I'm
not
down
south
but
to
new
yorkers
maryland
is
down
south,
so
the
hardest
transition
for
me
was
just
adapting
to
to
the
new
atmosphere.
That
I
mean.
C
That's
it
I
mean
school
is
cool.
You
know
you
you're
going
to
get
the
same
as
you
not.
The
same,
but
you
won't
get
assignments
you're
going
to
have
things
turned
in
a
different
way.
That's
probably
from
high
school
is
the
biggest
adaption
for
me
because
in
high
school
you
know
I
can
tell
the
teachers
like
look.
C
C
You
turn
it
online,
you
don't
you
don't
handle
physical
paper
into
the
teacher
unless
they
ask
for
it,
and
that's
probably
been
three
times
out
of
my
and
if,
if
they
ask
for
three
times
including
if
they
ask
for
it,
you
have
to
turn
it
off
online
first
and
then
go
print
it
out
and
bring
it
to
class
kind
of
thing.
You
know,
so
the
hardest
transition
for
me
was
definitely
moving.
C
I
live
with
my
great
grandma,
so
leaving
her
that's
also
another
reason
I
came
back
to
acc
to
be
with
her
for
a
year
because
she
got
fir.
She
got
hurt
the
first
year
that
I
moved
out
taking
the
trash
out,
which
was
my
job
when
I
was
here
so
definitely
moving
leaving
my
grandma
things
like
that.
That
was,
that
was
the
hardest
transition
for
me.
B
Okay,
well,
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense
now,
why
don't
we
switch
gears
for
a
minute
and
talk
about
what
are
the
differences
with
the
demands
of
being
a
college
athlete
versus
a
high
school
athlete.
C
C
So
there's
no
ain't,
no
job
ain't!
No
excuse
to
why
you
can't
do
it.
If
you
be
here
at
this
time,
you
know
I
hate
it
running
still
hate
to
this
day,
but
I
gotta
do
it.
If
I
gotta
do
it,
you
know
to
play
ball,
you
gotta
run
still
hate
it.
So
in
high
school
you
know
you
can
miss
a
practice.
You
know
be
out
for
practice
and
you
you
might
get
a
little
consequence,
maybe
running
up
and
down
a
sprint
in
college.
It's
a
business
so
they
take
it
as
a
business.
C
So,
if
you're
missing,
if
you're
missing,
if
you're
missing
practice,
you're
not
playing
the
next
game
and
while
you're
not
playing
this
game
and
you're
not
playing
that
practice,
so
my
coach,
if
I
miss
the
practice,
the
next
practice
that
I
can't
if
I
came
late,
get
on
the
sideline-
give
me
give
me
this
this
this
and
it's
something
that
you
didn't
want
to
hear.
Basically,
I
always
like
the
workouts
lifting
look.
You
start
over
there
first
matter
it
wouldn't
even
over
there.
First,
you
do
this
working
with
the
team.
C
First
then
see
me
right
after
you
got
some
more
work
out
now
to
do
you
know,
but
for
me
the
difference
like
like
I
said
in
high
school:
it's
if
you
want
to
be
there.
If
you
want
to
be
there,
if
you're
talented
enough
to
be
there
in
high
school,
you
can
be
there,
you
can
be
there
eat
whatever
you
want,
go
to
see
baptizer,
but
in
college
it's
a
whole
different
ball
game.
C
Everybody
was
you
in
high
school,
everybody
was
a
top
athlete
in
high
school
and
you
get
recruited,
then
you're
a
top
athlete.
So
everybody
was
a
top
hat
top
athlete
in
high
school.
Everybody
had
what
you
had.
So
it's
not
you
just
you're,
not
fighting
for
planning
time
you're
fighting
for
a
position
over
another
guy.
You
know
so
that
it
was
it
was.
It
was
a
major
transition
major
because
another
thing,
too
is
my
coach
was
real
cool
with
the
weightlifting
coach.
C
So
he
would
give
us
a
schedule
monday,
wednesday,
friday
get
in
the
weight
room.
If
you
don't
get
in
there
I'll
know,
I've
tested
it
out
a
couple
times,
not
not
only
me,
but
teammates
have
tested
it
out
a
couple
times.
You
know
test
it
out,
not
go!
That's
cool
like
all
right
bet.
You
don't
go
to
you,
don't
go
to
work.
Weightlifting,
see
me
after
practice.
You
know
so
and-
and
that
makes
you
more
it
disciplines
you
that's
what
it
did
for
me,
and
I
mean
I
can
see
it
in
my
teammates.
C
That's
what
it
did
for
them
too.
It
disciplines
them.
You
know.
So
it's
a
lot
more
discipline
and
high
school
itself.
High
school
is
a
lot
more
self-discipline
in
college.
You
get
disciplined
like
if
you
were
a
kid
and
you
did
some
wrong
time
out.
You
get
disciplined
there's!
No,
if
it's
a
butt
about.
B
That's
good
to
know
so
you
love
ball.
That's
totally
obvious!
What
are
you
majoring
in
school
for
like
what
do.
C
You
hope
to
do
I
plan
on
going
into
criminal
justice.
I
got
two
more
classes,
two
more
classes.
I
have
a
science
criminal
justice
major
after
that
I
plan
on
going
into
not
not
right
away.
I'm
gonna
take
my
time
going
into
it
because
it'll
be
my
career,
so
I
wanna,
I
wanna,
make
sure
I'm
ready
because
it's
a
dangerous
job
at
the
end
of
the
day,
so
I
wanna
make
sure
I'm
ready
to
go
in
there.
Maybe
do
some
more
research
myself.
You
know,
maybe
shadow
shadow
officer.
Anything
I'm
not
sure.
C
I
don't
want
to
be
a
po.
I
wanted
to
be
a
police
officer,
but
it's
getting
dangerous,
so
I
I
think
I'm
going
to
probation
parole,
which
is
kind
of
the
same
thing
more.
So
it's
like
a
daycare
for
older
people.
You
know
or
people
that
just
released,
you
know
getting
them
back
into
the
community
and
then
not
only
that,
but
it's
for
more
for
me.
The
reason
I
want
to
do
it
is
because
I'm
young
myself
23,
you
know
so
there's
a
lot
of
guys.
18
18
you
go
to
jail.
C
You
get
charged
in
as
adult.
So
you
get
charges
if
you
were
21,
you
know.
So
that's
a
lot
of
guys
that
could
use
reaching
out
to
you
know
to
change
their
life
around
different
things
like
that,
and
I
really
don't
see
myself
doing
anything
else,
but
that
because,
like
I
said
I
failed
sixth
grade,
I
had
to
do
it
myself
change
my
life
around.
That's
what
I'll
help!
That's.
Why
else
money
pushed
me
to
do
it?
That's
what
my
own
motivation!
You
know
so.
B
So,
with
the
criminal
justice
background,
you
hope
to
become
a
parole
officer.
C
C
So,
even
if
you
like
my
grandfather,
for
instance,
he
passed
away
18
december
be
18
years.
We
use
the
so
I
live
right
by
the
water
right
by
molly
creek.
Anybody.
Can
anybody
from
around
knows
what
that
is.
I
like
right
by
the
water,
I
always
see
fire
engines
go
down,
fill
their
tanks
with
water
or
go
spit
their
water
out
whatever
it
is.
So
once
I've
seen
that
I've
seen
the
lights,
I'm
like
that's
what
I
want
to
do
so
at
first
it
was
a
firefighter
you
know,
but
I'm
like
growing
up.
C
C
You
know
and
like
people
don't
have
regards
nowadays
well
somebody
has
to
do
it,
but
maybe
me
eventually,
but
for
me
I
want
to
do
probation
because
you
have
to
start
somewhere
in
criminal
justice
to
move
anywhere.
You
got
to
start
from
the
bottom
to
move
to
the
top,
so
I
want
to
start
probation,
parole
and
then
maybe
go
into
fbi
somewhere
around
that
lines.
B
