“Would you wanna be a drag racer?”

Isaac and Brisa Diaz

My brother and sister talked about how their experience at AJMS was good and they enjoyed it. My sister says her experience with Ralph Bunche was good, but my brother says it has been okay. 

They also talk about their dreams such as goals and careers. My sister says she is studying to be a nurse and my brother talks about how he wants to own a car shop or at least work for one.  

Another dream they talked about was the cars they wanted and how they wanted it, as in colors and detailing. 

They also talk about major events in their life, including the good and bad, talking about their education, if they had any at the moment.
