“I’m planning to do good in school because last year I didn’t get good grades. Last year my grades were like, not acceptable, so I need to try harder this year and try my best to give it my all.  Uhm I’m planning to [study] criminal[ology], like criminal justice but if that doesn’t work then I want to become a professional boxer… I already have experience and it’s something that I like to do because it’s a good sport.”
