Abstract
Description
In this interview, Tervillious Burns describes his time at Cleaborn Homes where he spent his last three years of highschool. Despite increasing instances of violence, Tervillious explains that Cleaborn Homes was essentially a quiet neighboorhood and that he had a good experience living there even though he sometimes felt wary about his safety.�He talks about how school programs like the Micro program helped him and others to go on to get a higher education and aspire to be doctors and lawyers.
