经典台词：

1. I’d give it back, all of it, if I could have my family back.
2. I was 15 when I went out in the world. What’s a home anyway? A roof? A bed? A place where when you go there, they have to take you? If so, then I was 15 when I became homeless.
3.But I still didn’t know how to be in school. I still didn’t know how to be normal.
4.I knew at that moment I had to make a choice. I could submit to everything that was happening and live a life of excuses... or I could push myself. I could push myself and make my life good.
5.Sometimes I feel like there's a skin on the world,and those of us who were born under it,can see throw it.We just can't get to throw it.
6.I’m smart. I know I can succeed. I just need a chance. A chance to climb out of this place I’ve born in. Everyone I know are angry and tired. They’re trying to survive. But I know that there is a world out there that is better, that’s better developed. And I want to live in it.
