When I picked Day up from his Life Class last week he was very impressed with the guest speaker they had, Ashley Rhodes-Courter. She had been in the Florida foster care system for 9 of her young years, and horribly neglected by the system and certain people in society. Thankfully she ended up with advocates, a couple people within the system, and her adoptive parents. Her bravery to share her story is touching, the story itself heartbreaking and uplifting. Even if you do not have any ties to foster care and adoption, it is definitely a story worth reading!
If you would like to read more on her, her website is:
