Abstract: Finishing college, like completing a marathon, is not about raw speed but endurance. In this essay, I share my story of becoming a long-distance runner, filled with missteps and an eventual breakthrough. I discuss five key training strategies for building endurance that provide a useful framework when thinking about ways to equip students with foster care experience for college. This essay is intended to be useful to students, caregivers, professionals, and policy-makers--and possibly aspiring runners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
