He lived the stereotypical life of a child placed in foster care. His parents were neglectful, abused drugs and alcohol, and failed to provide for even his basic needs. His life was forever changed when he was placed into foster care. His foster parents, teachers, coaches, and social workers are truly his personal superheroes. They showed him how to succeed by investing their time and energy into his personal development.
