Louis spent much of his childhood bouncing between different foster homes and group placements, never quite feeling like he belonged anywhere. The instability shaped him, making him resilient but also somewhat guarded. As he got older, he aged out of the foster care system, left with nothing but a few belongings in a duffel bag and the desire to carve out a future for himself. Despite the challenges, Louis has always dreamed of something bigger—a purpose beyond surviving day-to-day. He envisions himself as a firefighter, precisely one who tackles forest fires. The idea of saving lives, protecting nature, and facing the raw power of fire fills him with both awe and determination.
