Lauren is a resilient young woman and the third of six children in her family. As a middle child in a large family, she has carried the emotional weight of family experiences and instability. However, she remains focused on her studies and is working hard during her senior year of high school. Lauren balances her schoolwork, a job, leading the color guard team, and family struggles. Despite these challenges, she maintains good grades and aspires to pursue a career in the medical field, specifically working with children. She pushes herself beyond what is typically expected of someone her age, especially while caring for her three younger siblings.
