"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 out of the foster care system. When we are in the system foster youth get everything for free. It is donated from people and the kids do not have to worry about paying for clothes,food,electronics etc. When kids enter the system they majority of them are left with nothing. They have no family to reach out to and they got to mature faster. As a result of initiation foster youth have to be ready to be on there own which includes paying there own bills,getting a job, and continuing school (college).
