Raquel is a 16 year old white female junior at who attends a public high school. She has one older sibling (19 year old female). She lives in a neighborhood with different ethnicities, which she says, she does not identify with. In her time not in school, she is currently working at a restaurant as a hostess.
In the last 3 years, her family has moved to 3 different locations, which also caused her to attend 3 different high schools. This constant change has left her feeling robbed of friendships. She does have one close friend, a friend she met at the first high school she attended. This is the one friend she trusts and confides in.
She used to play softball, which she enjoyed very much. She was a star player for her teams leading up to high school. But her family movement and transferring of schools, caused her to miss tryouts at previous and current schools and has currently left her off her high school team.
Her only role model was her grandmother for her caring and nurturing ways. But her grandmother passed a few years ago leaving her without any current role models. She currently does not have any clear goals in life other than possibly attending a junior college once she graduates high school.
