“Because I hate violence. I hate it so much and what it can do to innocent people. That’s why I try to learn many answers to how to combat it so people have a chance to survive and live. That is why I want you to learn – because I know I cannot always be there to protect you, so you must learn to protect yourself. All people must learn to protect themselves. This is what drives me to keep learning.”
