As children of the foster care system; we live our lives based on others expectations. Due to the circumstances of our past environment, some believe that "foster children," are not capable or emotionally fit to advocate for ourselves. However as a long time adolescent in the social services system; I have witnessed and demonstrated against those types of stereotypes. So with the courage no one has, and the voice God gave me, I petition that every Ward of the State is entitled to an advocate and also the right to know their rights as youth in the system.
