‘KEPT ME GOING’

To avoid going home, Huey said he would spend most of his time outside with friends.
School also “kept me going”, Huey said.
“[Going to school] was me getting my morning breakfast. You know what I’m saying? Like the pizza with the cheese sticks and the milk bread … like that’s what kept me going.”
