Um, and actually I graduated high school here early because of a lot of the fighting that I was doing in high school. So I ended up having a fight, one of many in high school with one of these girls and, um, I ended up hitting her pretty hard and she lost her hearing.
So because of that, they put me in night school. I also went to juvie for the first time.

So we go to the grammar school. And I ended up beating her ass pretty bad. And it just so happens that she, like, kind of lost a little bit of the hearing in her ear. So because of that, she called the police. Next day in school, I knew I was going to go to jail the next day. Like, I was, like, very aware of, like, everything that was going on as a kid.
