Amber has demonstrated significant growth in her ability to advocate for herself, express her needs, and seek support when needed. Throughout her time in foster care, she has shown incredible resilience in the face of challenges while remaining ambitious, independent, motivated, and kind. Despite the obstacles she has faced, she remains determined to succeed and continues to inspire those around her with her perseverance, positive attitude, and dedication to her goals.

Amber is currently thriving in high school, where she continues to work hard toward her academic goals. Looking ahead, she plans to enroll in an ultrasound technician program after graduation and is committed to building a successful and stable future for herself. Recently, during a placement transition, she lost her laptop, which has created a barrier to completing school assignments and preparing for her future educational pursuits. A new laptop would provide her with the tools necessary to continue her academic success, stay connected to educational resources, and work toward achieving her career aspirations.
