Ernest is a bright young man who works hard to build a successful future. His goal is to join a union as an apprentice, and he has been actively applying to various unions in his area. Ernest has been in foster care since 2021 and also navigated a juvenile delinquency case, which he successfully completed by meeting all probation requirements and entering long-term foster care. He will soon age out, and staying busy helps him stay out of trouble when he is not working as an overnight security guard at a warehouse. Ernest has also transformed his grandfather’s garage into an “entertainment zone,” complete with a projector for movies and video games, where he enjoys spending time with his girlfriend and cousins.
