Decent Essays
Walking up to an unfamiliar door ready to knock on a stranger’s door in the midst of making a decision that will affect a child’s life. When you are placed in a situation when a child is left alone in their own home with no guardian around them, presenting a harm that can occur. I am responsible to cope with problems they are facing and improve their daily lives. Hesitating whether to send them away to a foster home where violence might occur for them, is part of my daily existence. Daunting decisions like these are the ones to be made affecting a child’s life and a better future for them to hold on
