He/Him/His
Community College
At twenty-nine years old, Khristian never thought he would overcome the life struggles that once surrounded him day in and day out. Being six years sober, becoming a volunteer EMT, going back to school, and being able to hold down a job and roof over his head has been nothing but a miracle led with the love and support of my partner and her family. Khristian has been able to become a part of his college’s Nation Society of Leadership and Success, obtain goals that he never thought he would have the opportunity to ever achieve, work through mental illness, and leave his past right where it belongs. He has become an over achiever in everything he does. Life has many avenues for Khristian, and he plans to place a footprint in every one of them.
