Marisol, 17 years old, OR

Marisol lives in a foster home, and after so much change, she is finally beginning to feel comfortable, happy, and settled. Marisol has been doing well in school, working hard in her classes, and finding new opportunities to discover her interests and build confidence in herself. It's wonderful to see her finding happiness in the little things and beginning to enjoy this chapter of her life. One of the things Marisol is most excited about is joining her school's track team! She loves to run because, in those moments when her feet hit the ground, she doesn't have to think about anything else. Running gives her a chance to clear her mind, let go of her worries, and simply feel free. For Marisol, track is an outlet where she can find peace, feel strong, and focus on something that brings her genuine happiness.
