Question: Do you have a lot of friends?
Yeah.
Question: What school do you go to?
Ascension Academy. There’s a lower school and an upper school. The lower
school goes 1st through 6th and the upper school goes 7th through 12th.
Question: How many people are in your class?
Twenty-two.
Question: Is that fewer people than a class in Hollin
Meadows?
No. It’s about the same, but it would be lot compared to Hollin Meadows
‘cause it’s a private school.
Question: Do you want to go back to Hollin
Meadows?
Very!
Question: How come?
I like it better. The teachers are much nicer.
Question: Do you like your friends at Hollin Meadows
better than the ones at school?
Yeah, much.
Question: Do you think going to a private school has
made you lose friends or gain friends?
It makes you gain friends but...It's just that you don't like ... I
don't like private schools at least.
Question: How about the other kids in your class?
Most of them don't like it. Only one or two people like it out of 22.
Question: Are the teachers strict?
They're strict but not very strict. The lower school's strictest teacher
is the 4th grade. That's where I 'm going next year, so definitely I
don't want to. But my mom wants me to.
Question: Do you like wearing a uniform?
No. But I think a week from now, next Wednesday we get to wear our
regular clothes.
Question: What kind of games do you play around
here?
British Bulldog, soccer, and basketball.
Question: Do you play soccer for a league?
Yeah. We played on the Privateers.
Question: What league is that?
That's Alexandria.
Question: Did you ever go to any championships?
Yeah! We were the champs for two years.
Question: What other sports do you play?
Basketball. We almost got in the championships but we lost by one point.
Question: Where is the hang-out for kids?
I have a little fort in my house. You know those little storage places?
My dad cleaned out all the boxes.
Question: Do all the kids in the neighborhood go
there?
Just a couple that are in the club.
Question: What's the name of the club?
It's just something I got out of the Fonzie coloring book. It's called
the Fonz Club.
Question: How many people are in it?
Five, it's small.
Question: Do you remember when they were building the
townhouses?
Yes. I didn't like it. Now there's all the noise corning from the
apartments and now they're gonna build 37 houses on Popkins right behind
our house and I don't like that. The horses stay in the back. They don't
come up to us anymore. We used to feed 'em carrots.
