Angelique, 18 years old, CA

Angelique has faced significant challenges throughout her life, having been in and out of foster care due to her parents' long-standing struggles with substance abuse, which ultimately led to the loss of custody of her and her siblings. After being placed under the legal guardianship of their paternal aunt, the arrangement was later terminated, resulting in the children entering various foster homes. Tragically, both of Angelique's parents have since passed away. Despite these hardships, she has shown remarkable resilience and determination; she enjoys reading and cherishes time spent with family and friends, particularly at amusement parks. Academically, Angelique has excelled, graduating from high school with a GPA of 3.4, and is now excited to take the next step in her education by attending a four-year university, ready to embrace new opportunities and build a brighter future for herself.
