“Home is in my youth..”
“Home is where I feel safe so I guess I felt more safe when I was younger…I didn’t really have things to worry about but like …[I] have more responsibilities…I’m actually smiling in that picture, kind of a real smile…”

“…home is in my fight…”
“whether I fight for my rights, for freedom, for
anything...my home basically is in my fight to wherever I need to go…for me, my fight would be showing
everybody that I’m not who they think I am…
but that’s my fight now…when I get to
college its going to be a whole other fight…”
