Alta is a survivor of both abuse and cancer. Alta almost lost her life when she was a toddler while fighting a form of Lymphoma. She spent many months in a children's hospital fighting her diagnosis. Sadly, after she beat it she ended up in foster care due to parental drug use. She still has regular cancer screenings as her cancer is known to return. She has been moved back and forth between her parents and grandma for years while being in foster care. Alta is proud she was able to maintain her schooling through everything. She dreams of a career in agriculture in the future and is looking into colleges that specialize in those degrees. Alta is a tiny thing with a lot of fight and determination inside.
