He and his friends drunk alcohol in High school.

What did you do for fun as a teen?

What is the most difficult thing for you right now?
It’s believing in Jesus,because every time he sits next to Nana she is not well he is losing hope that Nana is going to get better.He sits next Nana and prays for her and he just think it’s really hard for him to believe Jesus.

What lessons do you think the world can learn from the past?
To keep the past with you.
