India, 19 years old, CA

India entered the foster care system at a young age, facing instability and constant change. Despite these challenges, she developed resilience and determination. Now in school, she works hard to keep up with her studies while also maintaining a job. Balancing both responsibilities isn’t easy, but India stays focused on improving her future. She refuses to let her past define her, using it instead as motivation to succeed. Every day, she takes steps toward independence, determined to build a stable and better life for herself. Her journey reflects strength, perseverance, and a deep commitment to creating positive change.
