Even though they don’t have to swim through a tunnel like Jerry in “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing, foster youth are initiated out of the foster care system. As foster kids exit the system they go through a process. This process consist of paperwork, court dates, and a high school diploma. A kid who is in the system can go through programs to stay in the system up until 21, but most youth don't do that. Also, foster youth go to many workshops and financial aid like: I.L.S., the House program, T.H.P., etc. Foster kids have to go through all this work just to be on their own, but at the end it is all worth it and they get so many benefits. As a result of this initiation, most foster kids are guided to success, but its the decision if they follow it or not.
This is good, keep it up!

ReplyDeleteYour paragraph is really good! I ike how you talked about the programs that foster youth can use after they are emancipated from the system. I didn't think of that!
