Alexander, 20 years old, CA
Alexander entered the foster care system at the age of 13, a time when most kids are just beginning to figure out who they are. Growing up without consistent support made it hard for him to feel grounded, and he's still on a journey to find his place in the world. Despite the challenges, Alexander has shown resilience and determination. He currently works at Ulta, where he’s learning valuable skills in customer service, teamwork, and professionalism. The job gives him a sense of structure and independence as he works to build a more stable future. Though he's still figuring things out, Alexander is focused on personal growth and staying open to new opportunities. He’s learning what it means to support himself and set goals, even if the path isn’t always clear. With the right resources and encouragement, he’s ready to keep moving forward and discover the life he wants to lead.
