What's in a school? How about tradition? As said by my best friend and interviewee "High school is a whole different world." Grade school may seem like no big deal but coming from a Catholic grade school based entirely on tradition, this was my story about crossing the boundary by leaving my neighborhood and my peers. This is a story about my parents decision to break the social norm and *gasp* send me to public school *gasp times two*--downtown.

In this podcast I interviewed my cousin Brandon Carter about his cell phone being taken away from him. He talks about the toll it took on him and his social life, and why parents everywhere should make rules regarding cell phones very clear. Enjoy!

What can you say about the law? You love it, but at the same time, you hate it. It keeps you safe, it keeps order, but also restricts the things you're allowed to do. In this podcast, I talk about a time when I was just being an idiot and broke the law. I also interview my mom about a time when one of her friends got into big trouble with the law.
