Mary has been in foster care since 2016 due to violence and drug use in her home. She is now participating in the extended foster care program and learning how to be self-sufficient. One big step for Mary is that she recently applied for her first job in an after-school program. She loves working with children, and she hopes she gets the job. She also learned how to make a dental appointment so she can get a chipped tooth fixed. The next goal she has is to get her driver's license. She is learning that adulting can be hard, but she's a goal-setter, which will help her navigate everything she has to do to become self-supporting.
