A fresh retwist for Marquise to boost his self-esteem

Posted Dec 12, 2024
Marquise is a hard worker. He is always willing and ready to learn something new and take on new training. Marquise is rather shy and rarely asks for things aside from what is absolutely necessary. He recently gained another certification and will be graduating from a work studies program as well as a culinary program in January. Marquise has locs, and since entering into care after the passing of his grandmother, he has been unable to afford the maintenance as his housing stability and job security are his priorities. As Marquise makes strides in advancing himself in his career and his life overall, he wants to put his best foot forward. A fresh retwist and styling for Marquise would not only aid in improving his self-esteem and worth but also give him a leg in for business opportunities.

Marquise is 20 years old and lives in GA

Marquise is a bright young man who is currently living in a transitional living program (TLP) with a dozen other youths who are in extended foster care. Though Marquise has faced challenges within foster care, he has remained resilient and focused on his accomplishments. Marquise has completed all required exams for his GED within a matter of 2 weeks. He has gained employment and enrolled in a culinary program since his enrollment into the TLP program. Although Marquise is still debating if college is the route he wants to take, he is pursuing certifications until he is sure of his next move. He has recently obtained certification in forklifts. He is quiet, always well-mannered, and has a smile that lights up a room.
