John, 22 years old, FL |
Wish submitted by:
Guiding Hope Inc.John has been in the foster care system since age seven. It is hard to believe that in less than six months he will age out of the system. Although a bit anxious regarding this life transition, John has created a future success plan to stay on track and realize his future dreams. Moving from one foster group home to another over the years has created challenges with schooling, both academically and socially. Despite obstacles, John continues to persevere with an immediate goal of obtaining his GED. Once completed, John would like to attend a local college. John is bright and articulate. Given support and encouragement, he will realize his future dreams.
John has put out a goal next year to read three books a month. He is hoping to be able to get some books from Barnes and Noble to help improve his reading skills. John read a total of 31 books this year, and is so proud of this accomplishment.
Guiding Hope Inc. requests this wish for John.

"John, I’m SO proud of you!!!!! 31 books, that’s amazing! The world needs more dedicated and genuine people like you. I know pursuing your education can be overwhelming at times but you’ve clearly got the grit needed to succeed. As a 30 year old that finally got my bachelors last month, I know the non-traditional route isn’t the easiest but just keep using the resources and support you’ve got and know that you can do this!"
