Transcript:
Deserie Aldana: OK so, my first question for you is, how has your life been in high school?
Desteny Aldana: Uhm, my life in high school has been… to be honest it’s been fun, like I’ve gotten to learn a lot of new things and I got to meet a lot of new people. But at the same time its been really hard, because in high school, everything gets taken more seriously. Like when it comes to your work, so like if you miss something on an exam like, its gonna mark a lot, you know like, it’s gonna be so much harder and so much stricter and it’s hard to keep up with your grades because of how much work you get. Even though you don’t get homework in some classes, if you don’t finish your work it’s your homework and if you keep on letting it pile up [inaudible] you just be there until you’re done.
Deserie A: Okay so, my next question for you is what advice do you have for me?
Desteny Aldana: My advice that I have for you is don’t procrastinate. Like don’t leave your work for last minute because like it does pile up and you might say “Oh it’s just one assignment i’ll just do it tomorrow” or something but that one assignment turns into five and then from five it turns into like ten and then so on like out of nowhere you have like 100 like missing assignments, dude it’s just crazy. But what’s it called, uhm yeah don’t wait last minute to do things because then it’s all gonna like catch up to you at one point. And also, be careful who you hang around with because half of the time these people aren’t your friends like they’re just there for your company and for when they need you. But when you need them they’re not gonna be there, watch.
Deserie A: Another question that I have for you is how have you seen me change over the years?
Desteny Aldana: [Laughing] oh my god, I remember when we were little, you would always bug– like when I was getting older you would always bug me to play Barbies with you, now you don’t even wanna like hug me [laughing]. Like you’re so mean now, like you’re getting too mature too fast and I don’t like it because now I’m like the immature one and you’re more mature than me and like it’s not fun because we can’t have fun together and like… it sucks because I want someone to have adventures with. And you’re not having adventures with me no more. Is it because I would never play Barbies with you?
Deserie A: Yeah it’s because you never played Barbies with me.
Desteny Aldana: Oh, oh well.
Deserie A: Uhm, how… Instead of like saying me, how have you seen both of us like change over the years?
Desteny Aldana: I feel like we both got more mature and we both like have different personalities and styles but at the same time it’s like the same thing. But, I feel like… yeah we both matured a lot and like we’re two different people. But like, in a way we’re still the same person.
Deserie A: Do you feel like if I was born like let’s say– how we’re two years apart if I was born like one year or like a few months after like, like if I was born at an earlier time you think we’d get along better?
Desteny Aldana: Uhm, I don’t know because it depends on basically your personality because I’m more crazy, I’m more wild, I’m like, I’m like the bad kid you’re like the good kid so I feel like because you and me are opposites and the time has nothing to do with it.
Deserie A: Uh, now that we’ve like talked about like–
Desteny Aldana: You know what, hold up let me add. The time that you were born and the time that I was born has nothing to do with it I feel like it has more to do with, I surrounded myself with people I shouldn’t have surrounded myself with and I’ve done things that I shouldn’t have done that has me to where I am today and you took like a completely different path like, you’re going through a good path you’re not causing trouble or nothing and like you’re a good kid. So like stay like that.
Deserie A: Uhm, so now that I’ve like said like “Oh, how have we changed, how have you seen me change” what was your favorite memory of us when we were little?
Desteny Aldana: I remember one time, right here in front they had the slide and the [laughter] they had the slide and the swing-set and you were going down the slide and you fell off the [explicit] side and you got like two big bumps on your forehead [laughing] and we used to call you a unicorn.
Deserie A: And when I came here and I wouldn’t wanna talk to anybody, I was in the corner [laughs] because I was mad, I didn’t want anybody to see my forehead–
Desteny Aldana: And another one I have is one time you and me were fighting about I don’t know what and grandma like she would never be strict with us but this is the one time we got into a really bad fight and you had scratched me, and she made you sit in the corner. That [explicit] was so funny, because I was like over here just like looking at you and laughing while you were in the corner crying even though I started it.
Deserie A: But…uh–
Desteny Aldana: You wanna know my recent favorite memory?
Deserie A: What?
Desteny Aldana: Uhm, what’s it called, when we used to go to the park together like during the summer.
Deserie A: When we would just walk out and go to the park.
Desteny Aldana: Yeah when we would just like crash out from the house and just go to the park.
Deserie: Okay, this is like mostly like a “Would you rather?” question that I just came up with. But like, would you rather like redo your life or would you rather like continue to live it on with everything you’ve done?
Desteny Aldana: I don’t want them to hear my answer… Uhm, [talks to our mom] Oh, anyways I feel like I would keep going with it because I don’t regret anything I’ve done because it made me into the person I am today. So I have no regrets. That’s a good thing. Ima just grow and learn from my mistakes.
Deserie: And a final question that I have for you is… is it true… that I’m better than you at everything?
Desteny: No.
Deserie A: And that concludes our interview.
