"I can be as crazy as anybody but I'm also intelligent," he says. "Sometimes you can't act on how you feel."

He's still unbreakable. It's just not as much about the physical anymore.

“After reading this artricle about myself I do have a lot of reservations regarding the content and quotations. I feel as if I was portrayed as someone that I am not. The person in this article is a struggling, thug-like personna that is not a truthful representation of who I am. I am a responsible, hard working young man that worked as a sales associate for a major sneaker company and a service rep. for a major food franchise. I was not just selling sneakers at a strip mall. Furthermore, I have never referred myself as a "BEAST" nor will I ever. I know I will be a lawyer, that is my calling. I may be easy to provoke but that is not how you have to be, and that is not representative of who I am as a person. Fairhill is not just a school for drop outs or "troubled teens" it is also a school for students who do not feel challenged enough or cared for by the School District of Philadelphia. I never said I was good at fighting but I did say I had never lost. A journalist job is to tell the truth, not create a personna that will sell. PS: My couches are ivory not yellow! Sincerely, MARCUS MCDONNAUGH , the interviewee”
