WILLIAM:

I asked you some similar questions three or four months ago around...

SPEAKER 2:

I don’t remember.

WILLIAM:

Yes, you won’t remember, but I’m going to remind you. So, one of the things we did was a workshop around what do you want for the future? Here’s what I’m going to ask you. Do it again quickly before and we’ll, we’ll review it next week. But you’ve all got pens.

SPEAKER 3:

[INAUDIBLE]

WILLIAM:

What might your answers be? Think of a blank canvas. But don’t limit your ambition. Don’t limit what your future ambitions might be. These challenges we face in life shouldn’t stop us getting on in life. So it shouldn’t limit how we think about the future.

SPEAKER 4:

What qualities would you like people to see in you? What do you mean by that?

WILLIAM:

OK, well, what do you want people to think of you’se is being a toe-rag or being, or what do you want? Being a hood, or do you want them to think of you as being honest or respectful? Any of those type of things.

SPEAKER 4:

WILLIAM:

Okay.

STEPHEN:

I wrote where would you like to live and why? And I said I wouldn’t move because I have mates but have each other, we all have each other’s backs and if anything happens we look out for eachother. For what job you would like to do I said I would like to be a mechanic or an entrepreneur.

GABI:

What kind of entrepreneur?

STEPHEN:

Just like, owning a shop, giving back to the community. My grandmother owns a shop, you see.

WILLIAM:

I put for where I would like to live and why, I put Italy 'cause it’s an amazing place. And I love the food, so I do. And then for the job, I pick the army because it’s been a childhood fantasy and a dream.

STEPHEN:

And for what qualities would people see in you? Honest, outgoing ambitious and chatty, Charlie, I like to say. So what?

WILLIAM:

On the qualities, leadership, honesty, and respect. I don’t want to be looked upon as a young hood or a young thug, because I’m not. That’s it so it is.
