:'''Tommy Lee''': There's these woods behind our trailer park. This old guy lives in the woods there. Everybody in town swore he was crazy. He showed me how to hunt, and how to be real quiet, and how to listen. He said he had seen everything in the world he wanted to see, and he ain't never wanted to leave those woods. Well, me and my daddy got laid off at the paper mill, and whilst I spent about five months watching TV with my brothers, I kept thinking of what the old man said. Finally, I decided that I did want to see more of the world, and what was behind that trailer park. And that's why I joined up.

:'''Miranda''': I liked living with my aunt, Mavis, in Chicago the best. Bust last summer, my mother, Ruthie, came back and we drove to Atlanta. She said, "We don't have to stay long," but then she met a man, and they take off. I waited around for a while, waiting for her to come back, but everybody keep saying, "Just go on home." I don't know where that is. So I take the bus to Cleveland and spend two days staring at the poster behind the driver saying, "Be all you can be." So I think about that for a week, and think I got to be somewhere, so here I am.
