I asked her to tell me her challenge.
She was starting an essay.
I want to be a lawyer.
I have a history with the police.
She is 13.
What is your history with the police?
My father, he's been in jail, in and out, a lot.
So you miss him, it hurts to be without him.
Is that your challenge?
No, he doesn't care about me. He left us
a long time ago. He doesn't give me anything.
I just want to help people, and kids, so they
won't have to hurt like I did.
So you actually want to help people.
That's your challenge.
Yes, that's why I am going to be a lawyer.
I'm good at arguing.
