Brian H. / Don't let the dark in the world ruin your perspective on life.

I don't think I ever had challenges I was always the go with the flow kind of guy because I didn't have control of my being. I went from a group home to a foster home. The longest I stayed in one location was for 2 years when I finally found San Pasqual Academy in 2001.

If I could give one piece of advice to someone in the system now it would be that if you love to create or have a talent let it blossom. Don't let the dark in the world ruin your perspective on life. 

When I was emancipating from the foster care system the thing I needed most was to learn how to manage money. Growing up in a group home I never had knowledge of paying bills and things like that.
