Joshua. B, 17 years old, CA

Joshua is confident, reflective, and full of possibility. He’s grown into a young adult who balances responsibility with youthful energy, shaped by years of learning, challenges, and personal growth. This senior is more independent now, often juggling schoolwork, extracurriculars, part-time jobs, and family responsibilities while thinking seriously about life after graduation. He's placed in a kinship home. He’s developed a stronger sense of identity and values, showing maturity in how he communicates, solves problems, and supports those around him. Whether he’s involved in academics, sports, the arts, or community activities, he takes pride in his efforts and has learned perseverance through setbacks. There’s a quiet determination in him—an understanding that hard work matters and that his future is something he can actively shape. At the same time, he still carries the warmth and hope of youth. He enjoys time with friends, moments of laughter, and dreaming about what’s next.
