Personal Narrative: Foster Home

243 Words1 Page

Today is the day I’m going to escape and finally leave this hell hole. My foster parents will be gone for at least twenty more minutes so I have some time. I could hear my heart beat in my ears as I shuffled through my dresser drawers and shoved clothes in a duffle bag. This wouldn’t be the first time I’ve been through this. At my old foster home, every day was a battle. I ran away to my hometown for a few days until the police found me and I was placed in a new home. This time I was determined to succeed and be free of the system. I collected my few belongings, most importantly the picture of my mother and I was she was still alive, and flung the bag over my shoulder. I put my hood over my head and walked out the door, never looking back.

    Foster care is something that America has put a lot of time and effort into to get right. Foster care will be defined as any place where a child is taken from their family of residence or who has no able guardian at birth. These are included but not limited to foster parents, group homes, residentials, and emergency shelters (5). Though we have put time, effort, and money into getting things right, foster care is still a dangerous and traumatizing place for children. Foster care has long been considered a “National Disgrace” due to the influx of missing children, complaints of maltreatment, and even deaths (5).
