Tate is a strong and resilient kid who has already faced more challenges than most his age. After being removed from his mother’s care, he was placed with his dad, who is working hard to rebuild his life after prison and provide the best he can. Despite the instability he’s lived through, Tate shows up each day with determination, working closely with his teachers to improve his behavior and learn how to better regulate his emotions. What makes Tate special is his heart—he’s kind, hardworking, and keeps trying even on the tough days. His story is one of courage, growth, and a belief that things can get better.
