"Shevonne
Hansen – Independent Teen"
Shevonne
Hansen, 17 has created a new life for her self removed from her family’s
troubled past. She has refused to fall into the cycle of failure that
has surrounded her since the age of 14 when a drug raid resulted in her
mother’s imprisonment. Because of this she bounced from foster homes
to the home of an alcoholic father while searching for stability.
“I guess I’m one of those people that learns from the mistakes of others,” she says of her inner drive. Shevonne excels in a new alternative school setting and works long hours to gain control of her own destiny.
