Mohamed talks to the media for the first time.

So I guess everyone knows I’m the person who built the clock and got into a lot of trouble for it.  built the clock to impress my teacher, but when I showed it to her she thought it was a  threat to her. It was really sad that she took the wrong impression of it, and I got arrested later that day. But since the charges have already been dropped I really want to go to MIT. I think of transferring school from McArthur to any other school. Thank you to all my supporters.
