Want to read something great today? My brother Michael graduated with his Associates in Human Resources from @AlamoColleges1. We both aged out of #fostercare at 18. He joined the military. 2/3 of us who aged out, now college graduates.
@Menendez4Texas@BexarCountyFES I believe we are the first siblings had to graduate from this program. I remember when we started this program and I told Airika Buford that my goal was to get my other brothers through it so that we had an even more powerful story to share. Two down. One to go. 🤞🏼🥳
@Menendez4Texas@BexarCountyFES Thank you so much! I will pass on the congratulations to my brother. Thank you for your never ending support. You are truly a man of your word and a man of action. So grateful to have met you when I was a teenager and to have someone to look up to.
May is National Foster Care Month
and I am a product of the child welfare system. But, more than that I am a proud mother of 4, a master's graduate, a social worker, an advocate, a leader, & a force to be reckoned with. #fostercare#fosterkid@BexarCountyFES@utsafosteringfp
