Don Washington’s Interview






                              “It’s a writing thing… Everyone should try you’re a writer.”
                      “Now they expect me to write something and I can’t let them down.”        
Don Washington was raised in South Korea, while there he never spoke Korean. He goes back to South Korea every two or three years. When he came back to the United States, Don moved to Oklahoma and spent his high school years in that state. In his high school years, Don was a shy, awkward and silent football sophomore, and he was a smart boy because one of his teachers explained to him how the world works. Don’s favorite hobby is writing. He writes for himself and for a lot of people. Don writes about horror, science-fiction, short stories and politics. Don also writes on a blog about politics and social justice. His real job is a lot more intense than his blog. He doesn’t mind writing for other people.
                                      “My real job is more intense than my blog.”
                               “I teach people how to control, predict, and change.”
Don’s real job is doing research and investigation for organizers that are in training. The research is about finding facts of civil rights and justice. He taught young people how to control and create change to help out the world and all of their own community.
                                 “The only thing you can control is to react to something.”
                                       “So this is the evil secret that no one tells you.”
Don thinks that the evil secret is something that no one tells. He doesn’t believe in regret. Don explained to us that the evil secret is that we only control to what we react to based on the consciousness we have when it comes to regrets.
                                       “I never thought of dropping from high school.”
                 “My guess is, there’s a lot of people around here that think they have their act together.”
Don believes that everyone in school is supposed to get education so we don’t end up in a low wage store job like 7-Eleven. Don is currently working on ending the School Prison Pipeline to help students from different CPS schools not get detention and so that they can all get better education and graduate.  
“The important thing is you’re the quarterback like me is what school suppose to do.”
“Did you know right now there’s not enough money in the school budget right now?”  
Don had explained that he does something everyday to help the school not to lose money and so that they can keep textbooks and such to teach those who will be still be in school and for the school not to be close. Don is one of the community’s heroes that help with the politics, governmental problems for the city and kept CPS school open.
