Raquel

Raquel has been homeless since 17. She's now 19, and this is her first week trying to get her life back together by living in a youth homeless shelter in Denver, Colorado.

Raquel made some bad choices. She said she lived on the streets because her relationship with her mother was not so good, but things are getting better.

@jetsamjetsam Right, I just don't get what makes her look like she's using.

@jetsamjetsam Definitely not? Where did you come up with that conclusion.

It would be best that she should consider college, not a 2 year degree as she is so young and much time to spend in college.

She said couch hopping.

Did she say she was "cow chopping?" If so, what is that?

I just wanted to write a message to encourage all of you at Urban Peak. From 1989-90 Urban Peak helped me as a homeless teen. I have received so many blessings. I now have a Bachelors of Science in Computer Engineering, a Masters of Science in Computer Network Systems, and I am about to complete a PhD. in Information Systems. I own a home outside of Chicago with my beautiful wife Candy and I have traveled to 104 countries on 6 continents. If someone like me can do it, certainly any of you can!
