LUCERO NOYOLA / FIND A COMMUNITY, DON'T TRY TO DO IT ALONE
"The most defining moment in my probation foster care experience was when I connected with adults that saw beyond the "criminal" label and treated me like a person. They took an interest in my life, told me I had potential, and offered me support to pursue my interests."
RICK PITTMAN / ADVERSITY IS THE MOTHER OF PROGRESS
"Ultimately, my journey through the foster care system helped me to become a resilient and independent person. For any young person out there who may be currently struggling in care, keep persevering, focus on your strengths, and you will be rewarded in due time."
ANYSSA AVALOS / DON'T LET ANYBODY PUT YOU DOWN
"Anything is possible no matter what you've been through."
IXCHEL MARTINEZ / NEVER TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED
"Being in foster care brought me closer to myself and gave me an unshakable purpose in life."
KAYLA COOK / YOU CAN DO ANYTHING AND BE ANYBODY YOU WISH TO BE
"Being in foster care doesn’t have to be a negative thing. It means strength and perseverance. I believe in you."
MARILYN ARGUELLO / MY PAST DOESN'T DEFINE ME
"Foster care has taught me that my past doesn't define me that I'm not just another statistic. With hard work, I can do anything and everything I want to be and do in life!"
SOPHIA WILLIAMS-BAUGH / YOU ARE WORTH IT AND DESTINED FOR MORE
"The foster care system taught me perseverance, resilience and strength. The system taught me that no matter what; I could do it, I could make it! With everything that happened to me, beyond what I've shared, I've stayed standing, working and taking care of myself with minimum support."
REYNA LOPEZ / YOU DECIDE YOUR OWN FUTURE
"Do not let your environment define you. Do not succumb to negativity, shortcomings, or others expectations of you. You are not and will not be a statistic."
