Heey Everyone!
My name is Jennifer Trujillo, I'm 18 years old and have been a member with California Youth Connection for almost 2 years now. I was inspired to change and better the system not only for my younger sisters who are in the system but for younger generations to come. I have a voice in CYC and I am definitely being heard.
I'm currently attending College of the Sequoias for my first time this year, I've wanted to help people growing up emotionally, physically and etc. I always make an impact in their lives, it always makes me feel better doing something good for others than for myself.
I've also wanted to be a professional dancer, silly I know, but Dancing has always been a form of art to me and it something that made me extremely happy when I was going through a hard time in Foster Care dealing with my own demons and going from home to home. I wasn't the best kid growing up, I made a lot of mistakes but it helped strengthen me. I'd be lying to you if I said I'm ok, I believe after everything that happened to my siblings and myself I'll never be ok but I recently found peace and happiness within myself knowing I'm ok with not being ok!
Traveling has been something I was afraid of and it felt way out of my comfort zone and with this trip to Peru I'm stepping out to do something I would have never imagined doing! I'm always going to be eternally grateful for having this precious opportunity to travel outside of the U.S to Peru with FYCE for my very first time! I'm definitely nervous but excited. I give all my appreciation to all the people who have supported me throughout this journey.
