Aunna, 17 years old, NE

Aunna has been in the foster care system for several years and has faced unimaginable losses both before and during her time in care. These experiences have shaped her into the person she is today. Aunna is a resilient, opinionated, and outspoken young woman. If her strengths are channeled appropriately, she has the potential to thrive. Aunna will be turning 18 soon, and since the age of majority in Nebraska is 19, she has one year left to prepare for adulthood. Recently, Aunna has started studying to obtain her learner's permit and is eager to find a job. Although she is struggling in school, she is committed to graduating with her class in May 2027. Aunna has a creative side and enjoys making things, including bralettes and candles. She also loves music and enjoys creating content on TikTok.
