“This is definitely something you have to think about…It has to be something very deep and that you’ve fought for your whole life…Me, I’m still 17, I don’t have much that I can say yet but….I would say my family. I really love my family. I’d take a bullet for my family because although I know there’s a possibility of me going away, they’d still be alive. So yes, I’d take a bullet for them because I love them and I want them to keep living their lives. Plus there’s still a possibility of me living, and that’s a pretty good chance to take. They’re people I really care about, and I’d do anything for them. It’s important to me that they continue on living their lives.”

“Oh man…right away, I think family. It’s my first idea. Family. My brother, my mom and my dad. That’s what’s really important to me. I don’t think of anything else. Money doesn’t matter – I don’t care. I could be poor, and they’ll accept me and I’d be living with them. I could be rich and we’ll still love each other no matter what. And I think that’s what matters, the love. I would die for my family.”

“I would die for friendship and family and personally, what I believe in, is self-respect. So say if someone were shooting other people around, which is a terrible thing, and he came up to me and asked me what I believe in- I would say myself. I love myself. It’s not like an egotistic; it’s more like a healthy ego. I take myself very seriously and I feel other people should take themselves seriously too and do the right thing when the time comes.”
