if you are graduating or have a kid that may be and perhaps you live in a economically challenged area--please check out my friend Joe's page- he is brilliant having taught in Africa to the South Bronx, this guy is a GREAT teacher and human being, if more people were like him, the world of education and would be equal for ALL...If my child could have this guy teach all of the subjects i would switch her to his school-no matter where it was! Please check him.. for those that aged out and have teens: you should have started a college account when your kids where born. If you did not go to the bank or charles swchab investment type place and ask them what you need to put in every month, what interest you will get and what that amount will be when its time.. Most of us who leave foster care have no resources or tools to have "saved" for our kids college, unfortunatly, we usually did not "plan" our family...which is ok,,,all life has divine meaning and purpose so our kids--even when borned unplanned or out of wedlock--are NEVER an accident!! and they are always a blessing - especially if we are training them to GIVE back to the world and not TAKE or ABUSE it or the people in it.
No matter what, EDUCATION is key for a foster kids success, so read anything you can on improving your life, your kids life or another life!! smile someone is watching you!
