One Simple Wish

Jacob, 19 years old, FL

Jacob is a bright young parent who has overcome many obstacles. He has experienced childhood trauma, tragedy in losing his father, and negative influences that led him down a path of unfavorable consequences. He has successfully completed a commitment program, and has earned numerous certifications, including construction, that will allow him to enter the job market and become a productive citizen in society. Jacob has been able to turn his life around for the better and cites his motivation as being a better parent to his daughter than his own experience with his parents.
