“We’re managing right now. I work and my hours are<br />
pretty flexible, so I think we’ll be fine. In fact my girlfriend’s<br />
thinking about taking summer classes. I actually want to<br />
do one of those three month courses … like home remodeling<br />
over there in the tech center ... I haven’t really<br />
looked into it, kind of waiting for my girlfriend to finish her<br />
school, and then I plan on enrolling.”<br />

“I’m writing a young-adult fiction book right now, but I kind of want<br />
to get to the adult genre, kind of romance thing. I work with children<br />
also, so I have a couple ideas for children books as well.<br />

“I really never believed in having a role model. I kind of take different<br />
aspects from different people, and just kind of thrive to be the<br />
best person I can be. I don’t like looking up to just one person and<br />
wanting to be them. ‘Cause I don’t want to be them. I just want to<br />
be me.”<br />
