I am working and going to school for business administration, someday I want to start my own business. It’s important for me to be in control and I have a lot of ideas.

Now that my life is more stable since moving to Covenant House Michigan, with the help of CHM I was able to find a part time job at Taco Bell. I'm still seeing my Mom and sisters weekly but I am trying to focus on just me and regaining everything I had lost when my Mom made me leave the house.

I lived with my Dad when I was really young, we lived with his Mom but when she passed away we became homeless. I soon found myself in foster care separated from my siblings.

It can be hard to stay focused and positive while living at Covenant House. There is a lot going on and my peers can be distracting. I can’t let the negative things in my life hold me back, I work them out and look to the next thing. I don’t want to be weak and I look to God for strength to help me through things I am struggling with.

When I found Covenant House I was finally able to get off the streets.

Now that I’ve been at CHM for a little while, I just enrolled in Life Skills! Now I am really going to try and get my dilpoma. I really like the teachers. They seem to really care about what I do. When I ask for extra help, they spend time with me.

Like I said it's been a long time coming.

I’ve been at Covenant House for a few weeks now. I’m kind of nervous about it here, but I really like the place so far. The only thing is that I really miss my kids.

Today was the first session of Sister 2 Sister, the group where us girls can just be us. Overall I really liked it! I didn’t think I would at first because I thought that there would be rules and people telling us what to do and how to do it. But it was the complete opposite!

Wow I am so happy! I have saved $800 from working at McDonalds. I am saving and saving and eventually will have enough money to move into an apartment.
