Thinking about when my foster care parents told me at 4 years old that I would end up dead by 18 or a drug addict/in jail like my bio parents. I GRADUATE undergrad in TWO weeks with a double-major and HONORS and I am FULLY FUNDED for an excellent GRAD SCHOOL!! Breaking the cycle.

@evilratperson the most interesting thing about foxface is that within the books and movie, she is not presented as a warrior but as a scavenger. There are tributes who focus solely on survival skills rather than fighting, because of HOW much survival skills determine your outcome in the games.

Saw someone say, “Foster care is still a better option than abortion.” My dude, I was literally sexually and physically abused, locked in rooms without food or water for days, and told that I would be better off dead for years while in the foster care system.

@LilRooftop @evilratperson Exactly! And her death, which appears to be suicide-especially within the book, signals how far she was in the game. in the top five??? based purely off survival skills??? incredible.

First off, i literally sob every time I look at photos from HS. Secondly, imagine being a fully grown adult telling students (especially from poverty and traumatic backgrounds who wanted to break the cycle of their trauma) that they would never do anything with their lives.

@zedonarrival yeah if my univeristy wasn’t paying for me to do both my masters and phd, i wouldn’t be here. it makes little sense to pay for these degrees, i have people recommend to only pursue them if the university funds you or else its a waste.
