Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Laura is incredibly upbeat and full of positive energy. She has been in the foster system since the age of 16, which has contributed to her determination and passion for personal growth. Laura is pursuing a master’s degree in Political Science. In her free time, she enjoys reading, collecting perfumes, and working out at the gym. She also has a strong interest in real estate and plans to obtain her license soon. Long-term, Laura hopes to be involved in a nonprofit organization or even start her own someday. She is the type of person who is always striving to grow and seeking ways to give back to her community.

Laura is wishing for a paper shredder to help her stay organized and protect her personal information as she continues to grow academically and professionally. As a master’s student in Political Science with future plans to earn her real estate license, Laura often manages a large number of important documents. From school materials and personal records to real estate forms and professional paperwork. Having a paper shredder would allow her to securely dispose of sensitive information while keeping her space clutter free and efficient. Organization and privacy are important to Laura, who takes pride in maintaining order in all aspects of her life. The shredder would not only help her stay on top of her responsibilities but also reflect her commitment to independence and professionalism. For someone as driven and focused as Laura, this small but practical tool represents another step toward building the structured, balanced lifestyle she’s continually working toward.
