“In England (which I had moved to from America), halfway through the year, granted, I was new and I was in the middle of the school year, and I walked into class and I was obviously scared, and the first thing they asked me was what soccer team I supported and coming from America, I didn’t know very many soccer teams. But before I moved, my friend Dylan had given me a Liverpool jersey and so I just said Liverpool because that’s the only club I knew, and from there, we’d just talk about it every day…Like you say…‘Haha, we beat your team’ and [it was] good joking around. Their first question was really different and really made me extroverted.”
