At 15, I was placed into non-relative foster care after both adopted parents passed. My first foster home placement was disrupted so I am now living in my second foster home. I work part time at a Vet helping with cats, and also at a dog daycare, near my foster mom’s house. I also got my Junior handler certification for the local R.E.A.D. Library program, where kids learn to read to my dog. As of 2025, I am a high school senior. My goal is to be a veterinarian.
