panthers vanguard party stuff like that you know if it comes up will say i mean they're well so drew what he like to do in your free time i mean other than supporting the lgbt q community are joining revolutionary parties i was a lot of music of music's definitely a big part of my life and it has been especially the past couple years drag on the threat school i hang out my friends a lot at a videogame sometimes not as much as i used to because of the law to work but says he's your favorite artist is a chemical more quote really so what if you're a woman from probably to pimp a butterfly feeling that's his magnum opus drew to play any instrument i actually put a violin are you able to play any of our songs on your violin learned and even as of right now that i am open to it and i try in the future having that be a fun project for the song you'd like to become a year i don't i feel so drew what's your favorite
tv show or movie if you don't say conrad detective well i'm sorry but it's not common detective i'm sorry to disappoint you for my tv show i'm probably be between game of thrones and the office oh that's interesting so who's your favorite character from each one oh i'm from game of thrones i probably saved injury injuries so much oh my head and from the office i'd have to say stanley i really identify with the soviet to make a couple of the one person from game of thrones and one prison out of office who would you choose i would probably have to choose michael scott and interest are going to be a very fascinating dynamic to watch especially on screen you don't think michael scott would go well with john snow he would really go oh i see you again we're seeing unfortunately so on how you want to spend time with your friends oh marty appel gp gq radio stations are trying to be revolutionary the strength
we got he'd sometimes we like to hang out mainly at one of our friends' houses weekly risk sometimes so it's a lot of things that we do that sounds like a lot of fun so what if you're a class in school this year i honestly was a huge fan of most my classes in the past year the size cars and to really speak to me i think i want to go into medicine so especially at biology last year or so ocelot that sounds like a very good time so before we get to some of the way your question's i just wanna do some word association with if that's alright sure is so let's start with something easy sell says i mean just respond whenever possible human trip there you are
so it's ok lulu dot i just when asked on what you value those who timeout testing i value connections that ended with new people and the perspective that are casting as give me on issues that i would've had no idea about have not joined others a lot disease that's made me more culturally aware of and a lot of struggles that's it's time for my life in perspective how could i have it just because of my orientation and how bad some other people have it so low on pieces that you work on the war really interesting to you i worked on the piece about conversion therapy and the war still working on right now are getting see a reason about conversion therapy and the psychological affect on people and the fact that some people can still support that even though it's been completely disproven every scientific means possible is just shockingly and our try to fight that and spread awareness about how it's not treatment it's just not healthy i was going to say that's really cool but it's not really cool blue school that you're handling it so
well in school that were doing something about it exactly so drew what have you been doing this so this summer i have been working in a lab at the new our biology work and through program in school cause some scholars and it's been a pretty good experience on twitter and i feel about an experience that not a lot of high school students get work in a lab ok two more questions how's out casting changed your life as i said before i guess things give me a lot of new perspective on the way i live and the way i perceive the struggles of other people it also taught me a lot about media production and the way the broadcasts are created and the process and how much hard work really goes into a fleeting radio broadcasts and it's being respected institutions like npr a lot more orthopedic that's really cool and then lastly on a lighter note on which kitchen utensil dc is what happens probably a metal whisk because in the event of a zombie apocalypse you can kind of twist the wires
and use it as a cooling device to murders on visas and i really identify with and given equal other question is that i should ask reading one ask me quickly who is your favorite character there is what was going to be to get so it's actually really annoying thousands of your toes are so much ghost dog on the truth was a fear a type of call an ionic on corinthian or other our leftover other i really enjoy doric columns you know those imaginary underrated identify with doric columns ok well thank you so much for coming on air with me today truth it's been a pleasure
