Felipe S.
My name is Felipe, and I attend Ball State University. I’m currently majoring in Psychological Science with minors in Counseling, Social Work, and Women and Gender Studies. I’m an overnight employee at FedEx. Outside of school, I live for sports. I’m a huge basketball and football fan. I also enjoy playing video games and going to the gym.
I first got involved with Foster Success, I started by having conversations with my Foster Success ETV coach. I took every opportunity my coach threw my way, and eventually an invitation to join NYTD landed in my inbox. I realized that my chance to leave my mark on the very same system that helped me thrive was sitting in my inbox and I signed up. I know this opportunity will teach me valuable skills that will help me support other youth and allow me to better show up for them.
“I’ve only recently gotten involved with Foster Success, but I’ve already met such amazing people, made meaningful connections, been given so many helpful resources, and been provided with so much support. I’m not sure what I’d do without (them).”
