My Story

Success
I am a 17 year old transgender youth. I am much more successful living on my own than with my mom, even though we still have a good relationship. I was staying in a youth shelter before I came to live here, at Lindquist. I am finishing up my junior credits at a public high school, looking for a job, and am constantly entertaining the staff and residents at Lindquist!!
