“My goal is to be a juvenile judge, and no one, absolutely no one can tell me otherwise. Twenty-eight CPS students have died this school year. The 28th was the cousin of a close friend and on top of that he died near my neighborhood... it really hit home for me. I never expected to be in this situation, the shooting, the violence, the drugs, and the gangs. My dream is to help the youth find options... I want to establish a girls and boys club where teens that have been in the court systems or teens with difficulties, can find alternate ways of living; find jobs or be put on teams.”
