Justina Diaz became an adult long before she was ever allowed to be a child. She cared for a mother battling addiction and also helped raise her two siblings.

Slowly, Justina did too. She returned after setbacks, found success in class, and began imagining more than survival. Justina earned her diploma and now finally believes her future belongs to her.
