“Through the Tunnel” Foster Youth Initiation

Even though they don’t have to swim through a tunnel like Jerry in “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing, foster youth are initiated into/out of the foster care system. When foster kids go home to home of course its going to effect us because were just getting use to that place we were at and it probably took a long time to get use to that place to so its very tiering especially going in as the new girl or kid .Also getting use to the person thats taking care of you we dont know if that person is some type of killer or something so thats how i go into the situation kind of with my gaurds up and looking very carefully.And of course were going to miss or family and sometimes you wouldnt even be able to call them when you want to thats very irratating.Being in the system made us stronger and more mature about the situations we make and made we see more of the outside now.
