Be Encouraging

Janice doesn’t give into peer pressure which she credits her mother for. Seeing her mom struggle, having to raise 4 kids by herself because her father was sent to prison over 10 years ago, she stays positive for her younger brothers and sisters.  She is the oldest and she takes care of the home while her mother struggles to work 2 jobs.  Janice is the role model to her brothers and sisters, and this keeps her focused on staying out of trouble and succeeding in school.
