I look out the window to see who did it, but instead I see the large city of Camelot covered with ice as blue as the sky usually is, and the sky covered in massive black clouds with snow billowing out of them faster than you can say... “Yikes!” I jump out of the way as a few more feet of snow pile onto my desk in the corner.I look at the mirror to see that my brown hair is a…

Out of the four-hundred thousand children in foster care, twenty percent of those are teenagers between the ages of sixteen and twenty (Helping Youth, 2013).
