Finding a family

The story is a bight boy who was bought up in Michigan by his mother, a professor, who was involved in a car accident resulting to her being unable to take care of her son. Alex was placed on a foster care system a family court judge who deemed Alex’s mother unfit to parent him. After his transportation funding is finished, Alex finds out he has to be assigned to a foster family to offer him curriculum and stability which can land him into Ivy League School. He has to look for a new family to avoid being taken from the high school he wants. He was able to obtain 4.0 GPA despite all the challenges. At Eagle Greek School, the environment is favorable to allow him to achieve his goal joining Harvard University.

The story relates to the role I would take as foster father, which involves helping the needy children to achieve their future dreams. It shows the effort a foster parent should put in giving hope to children whose hopes have been muted by life challenges.

One thing a learned about this story is that there children who have parents but still needs to be in foster care system because their maternal parents are unable to offer the right care.  These children may be hurting due to fear of failure in achieving their life desires.

An important change I would make in fostering children is getting to learn their dreams before imposing any decision on them. Hence, offering them any support would be based on what they desire to become. A decision can be made contrary to their wish so as to guide them where they may be wrong.
