"I remember one time, a kid said, 'You need to go back to your country. You're a government bleeder. And I remember there was a teacher standing there and she didn't say anything and I knew she heard it. That really bothered me........ I remembering thinking to myself, I'm gonna show you. I'm gonna show you that I'm not dumb just because I can't speak English. I'm gonna show you that I am capable of more than that. So, in some way, it kinda inspired me."

"There's a song called Always on My Mind, it's really slow. If you ever listen to it, it's slow and it enunciated the words. The teacher would put in on, so we could try to see what words we can pick up."

“I can’t seem to go on a diet because everytime I go on a diet, I deprive myself, I get depressed. Right, that’s what your body does, right. You get depressed. Then, I start going, well, four years of my life, I barely had any food to eat. Why am I starving myself, you know, life is too short, I could die tomorrow.”

"I'm not sure I value certain people's life. I'm not sure I value. So for example the people who kill my father, I'm not sure I can value their live. I'm not. If you were a Buddhist, you'd say, 'Oh let them live. Life is full of suffering. Let them suffer that way, right. I'm not like that, I'm not evolve enough if you think about it. I'm more like an eye for an eye."

“I wanted to see the people who killed my father. I wanted them...I don’t know….I want to make sure they’re dead. So, I went and watched and they got their head chop off. You know it’s really hard to chop people’s head off…….In my young mind, it’s really stupid but I thought they were still alive, like I wanted to make sure.”

“People don’t get to tell me what to do. I’m always fighting. Even though I might not say anything, I will find a way to do the opposite. If you say I can’t buy this, guarantee it will be bought. My ex-husband knew that he couldn’t tell me when he couldn’t buy something. He would just say, ‘Oh, whatever you want.’ Then, it’s up to me to be like aw we can’t afford that.”
