Child 1
Why are you in foster care?

                              Child 2
         Because my Nana doesn't have
         enough bedrooms and my mom's
                             in detox

Child 1
Same! My Nana doesn't have
enough bedrooms and my mom
died 'cuz of drugs!

                              Child 2
              And my dad's in prison!

Child 1
Mine left when I was two

                              Child 2
       Hey! Have you tried mixing the
                 Sprite and Powerade?

Child 1
Yeah it's good, but it's
better with Fanta too

                              Child 2
        Teacher? What happens to food
          when you eat it? Like, what
          happens to it in your body?

I was forgetful about an important nursing school
assignment, beat myself up, procrastinated, and
forgot a second one.

With the help of my cheerleaders, I made a plan
and scheduled a meeting with faculty to get it
together. School's tough!
