do in their life: elementary school, high school, college, full-time job, etc. In the seventh grade I decided that my dream was to attend Franciscan University for my Bachelor’s Degree.

issue because there was a time in my life when I was homeless, and I was practically told that there would be no immediate help available to me since there are no adults under the age of 18 who live in the same household as myself. My mother and I were evicted from our home in December 2014, just a few days before New Year 's Day. For confidentiality, I will refer to my mother as "Diane". Diane was head of the household while I was a full time student who only had a part time job at a local…
