Hi, my name is Christopher,

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:35.500
I'm 15 years old

00:00:35.500 --> 00:00:39.280
and I've been studying at Dorcas for 6 years.

00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:43.000
Naturally I would leave school,

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.000
go home, get ready

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.960
and come to Dorcas.

00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.000
I really like coming here,

00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.800
the teachers treat me very well,

00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:01.000
I have new friendships

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:03.000
and since I'm very communicative,

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.160
here at Dorcas I have the opportunity to talk to many people.

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.200
I want to be a professional musician in my life,

00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.00
I want to grow

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.200
and I want to make my family proud

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:58.200
and I want them to see that I'm not here wasting my time

00:01:58.200 --> 00:01:59.200
or doing nothing,

00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.050
I'm growing in life,

00:02:01.050 --> 00:02:04.000
learning from wonderful people

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:10.120
who come here and care about us.

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.000
You don't know anything

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.000
and you learned to read music,

00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.000
you learn to play an instrument

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:24.000
that people worldwide, known in the music world,

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.500
knew how to play an instrument

00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:29.000
and you as a common teenager from a common neighborhood,

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:30.250
from a common country,

00:02:30.250 --> 00:02:35.250
you learn that and you bring joy,

00:02:35.250 --> 00:02:36.210
you bring a smile to people,

00:02:36.210 --> 00:02:38.770
when people play and when they applaud you,

00:02:38.770 --> 00:02:40.700
they are happy,

00:02:40.700 --> 00:02:42.300
they don't applaud you just out of politeness

00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:45.000
because they liked what you did,

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.000
so it's an incredible feeling,

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:53.000
giving a gift is better than receiving one.
