Penelope has shown remarkable resilience through her challenging circumstances, moving in with her grandmother to escape the domestic violence and drug exposure inflicted by her father, who has since passed away from a drug overdose. This loss, combined with the feelings of abandonment from her mother, has deeply affected her, but she is actively engaged in therapy, which is helping her heal. Despite her struggles, she is doing well in school, finding joy and confidence in her studies, and loves spending time outdoors. Penelope also expresses herself through gymnastics, thriving both physically and mentally, and her journey is a testament to her strength and determination as she continues to forge a positive path in her life.
