Juan, 22 years old, CA

Juan is a big dreamer who has spent a lot of time looking up. After spending the majority of his childhood in foster care without a traditional family safety net, Juan chose to build his own foundation. The day he turned 18, he moved out on his own and immediately started working toward his biggest goal yet: becoming an aircraft engineer. Now 22, Juan is balancing the demands of college with the realities of being a young adult on his own. He doesn't just want a job; he wants a career where he can solve complex problems and keep people safe in the air. He’s proven that he has the drive to succeed—he just needs a little community support to help clear the runway.
