One thing that I really love being at TRUE Skool is that we have a big family and everything that we talk about stays in TRUE Skool. You can express yourself and you get to learn new people and do a lot of group projects. A project I really enjoy working on is the TRUE Skool book that we make. What we do there, like we can all connect, at the end of the day. We also work with other organizations. We're doing murals for our aquaponics team and our mural team. We worked on the murals this summer for our job intern. We drew the mural on a small sheet of paper. Then we transferred it into the big piece of canvas. It was a lot of hard work. I like drawing on the canvas and taking it to the community and letting'em paint it. We were kinda like the voice for the youth that couldn't come out and express what they've been going through, like the juvenile system. So we were their voice for them. We was just thinking about like justice and what the people like-- how can get somebody to speak out... speak out to the community. I think it was empowering and I thought it was very moving cuz I don't go through stuff like this but to talk for other people I think is very cool. I like being here at TRUE Skool because I have a lot of support. And I can just express myself. Some people do music. Some people do art. Some people do band and it's very fun. We gotta keep it one big family. We're never going to be apart.
