I think it's great. I've learned a lot of things like how to control myself, you know, how to deal with problems, not only here, but at home, too. I've learned how to control my anger, how not to let things go too far in fighting. And I learned how to relate with my peers about what's going on in the school. If I have a mediation case, I can speak to them about how to handle their emotions.
Many cases are like that recently, because of the Howard Beach incident.
After that we had a lot of racial conflict between the blacks and other people in our high school. This school has a wide range of different races. You can find blacks and Hispanics, and even Hispanics break up into their own groups. And the Italians stay by themselves, the Greeks stay by themselves, so there's like racial conflict between them. There's always some kind of static.
