Alexandria was raised by a single mother who often used alcohol and drugs. When her mother became physically abusive, Alexandria took her younger siblings to a shelter for safety. Alexandria and her siblings have now all been placed into foster care. Known for her generous spirit and willingness to help classmates, Alexandria wants to be the first in her family to attend college. “Going to college means I don’t have to stay where I am; I can take my experiences, good and bad, and strive to do my best.” Her after-school activities include Anti-Tobacco Club, Girls for Change, and softball. She’d like to become a veterinarian or assume a position where she can help others.
