“There’s a lot of drama when you’re in and out of homes. I went from getting into a lot of trouble to being a young mommy… I’m finishing high school for my son and to prove, just because I had a baby doesn’t mean I’m not going to finish…” - Kathy, 17, Downtown LA

“Moving around effected me a lot. I was embarrassed because I didn’t have a mom that had a home of her own. As you grow up you learn … sooner or later you have to overcome your obstacles and forgive. Those obstacles have made me so much stronger of an individual. Telling my story makes me feel unique. It makes me stand out from the rest…I love it”. - Lashanae, 18, South Central, LA

“I always say, I wish I could have my kids living somewhere else... give them their own room. If I want that then I have to help him out. So I talked to him… and I told him… wouldn’t you like to give them a little bit more? Well then I want to go to school and go to college and try to make a little more money and see what we can do.” -Lorena, 18, Korea Town, LA
