Aiden has spent much of his life in foster care and recently graduated high school, a major milestone as he now begins college and works toward an independent future. Intelligent and thoughtful, he's especially drawn to politics, government, and current events, and is considering political science as a possible path forward. Despite the challenges he's faced, Aiden continues moving forward with the support of his resource family, currently living in a stable, supportive home as a Non-Minor Dependent while he builds the skills and confidence to eventually live on his own and manage college, finances, transportation, and employment along the way. With a great sense of humor and a genuine, respectful presence, Aiden has grown remarkably, from finishing high school to now handling college coursework independently, all while working toward employment, financial independence, and a future where he can fully support himself.
