KC has been in foster care since she was six, experiencing constant upheaval and a lack of parental support. This instability made it difficult for her to feel a sense of belonging and to trust others. Despite these challenges, KC has developed strengths such as independence, hard work, understanding, and determination. She knows how to persevere through tough times because giving up has never been an option for her. KC still struggles with trusting people, asking for help, and believing she deserves good things due to her past experiences in toxic environments. KC is excited to go to college but also faces fear and uncertainty because she lacks the support and resources many of her peers have.
