Meagan, 17 years old, LA
Meagan is a bright and confident young lady who dreams of becoming a nurse after she graduates. She has shown incredible strength while coping with alopecia, a condition that has deeply affected her self-image yet never dimmed her determination. At home, Meagan faces significant emotional strain as her family navigates the trauma of having a close relative incarcerated, a situation that weighs heavily on her and her loved ones. She is raised by a hardworking single mother who is not only caring for Meagan but also supporting her younger brother and her incarcerated father. Despite her mother’s constant efforts, financial hardship creates ongoing stress in the household, often leaving little room for anything beyond basic needs. These challenges have forced Meagan to mature quickly, but they have also fueled her resilience and compassion—qualities she hopes to carry into her future career in nursing.
