Hey everyone. So this upcoming summer is going to be filled with great things. First off I am graduating college on May 8th which a lot of former foster youth can't say they have accomplished. And i am doing it in four years which a lot of people can't say. I am so excited for it, I currently have 96 days till I walk across the stage finalizing my 16 years of schooling. Its so cool and I couldn't be happier to be getting out of school. The second reason this summer is going to be legit is because I was accepted into the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute Foster Youth Internship. Man that is a mouthful to spit out. Here is a link so you can find out what is about. http://www.ccainstitute.org/how-we-do-it/apply-on-line-foster-youth-inte...
You should check it out.
I first off need to thank my foster mom for forcing me to go to college and encouraging me to continue strong, secondly I need to thank FosterClub for having me as part of their all-star internship last summer. Without them I wouldn't know of the opportunities that were open to me just from being a foster youth. And of course thank you to everyone in my life who has been nothing but supportive and encouraging to overcome the obstacles I faced as a child to be a successful young adult.

Thats all for now. Just wanted to give everyone an update on what was happening this summer. Hope all is well. Keep yo' head up! Jeremy.

Wow...you're on a roll! I've heard a lot of really great things about CCAI. That's awesome. They're lucky to have you this summer (just like we were here @ FosterClub last summer)
