I've done a bit of research on foster care for a couple of different reasons. I, myself, am lucky enough to be in a happy home with my biological family, but some other children aren't, and I feel bad for those children. My initial interest in the topic was because one of my characters was in the foster care system for nearly her entire life, and I wanted to capture the not-so-unicorns-and-rainbows aspect of the system. Turns out, not too difficult. I then went into further detail for an art project, where we had to illustrate a social issue that we were interested in. Naturally, I picked foster care as I saw it as a not-so-great solution to kids with messed up families, while most other people saw it as this great thing for those kids. I then had to write a letter about an issue for English, so I went into even further research on the bad side of foster care. And recent events in my family has brought it a little too close to home for me, as my cousin's siblings are all scattered throughout the system because her father and their mother are both in prison for a bunch of shit I don't want to get into. Thankfully, my cousin still has her mother and lives with her. But still–a little too close for comfort.
Don't get me wrong, foster care can be great–in certain situations. But there are a lot of things that I see as major problems.

I hate research when I don't care about the subject and I'm being forced to do said research. But when it's on my own terms, it's really interesting. I also like learning about different mythologies and ancient cultures.
Ironic, considering I hate History but love learning about Ancient Egypt, Persia, Greece, Rome, and the like.
Did you know there were technically two Peloponnesian wars? Between Sparta and Athens?
Yes I did!
And Sparta was like bet when Alexander the Great tried to conquer them. They literally sent a one word letter back that said IF. And Alexander the Great was like, Yeah, let's leave Sparta alone. They aren't gonna bother us…. nervous laughter
I didn't, but to be fair, I don't know a lot of stuff. Except a bit of useless, random stuff. Like there's a type of squirrel that's three feet long
There is also a type of purple squirrel. They are pretty cool.

I'm pretty sure Athens was the one to start both wars by allying with Argos twice. Like, they didn't learn the first time? You guys are supposed to be smart!
sorry if it's not quite accurate, it's been a while since I learned that

How can a people known for their knowledge do something so stupid as to piss off Sparta by doing the one thing that got them in trouble the first time?
There are also rats with squirrel tails.
Also I could say I know a lot about the wage gap because of English essays. It isn't real.

I've noticed a few things mentioned on here are because of English essays…
I also learned about kleptomania because writing.

I only knew that was a thing because of The Sims…
Don't judge, I no longer play that game

I learned about kleptomania after my dad had me watch the Breakfast Club.
I loved that girl from the movie.

Yeah. She's my favorite.
