He had come to Lindquist Apartments from a dysfunctional family and wanted to succeed. These last setbacks had the 17-year old thinking about moving back home. Chad met with Cameron, a new Case Manager for Lindquist Apartments. Chad commented that he was energized to have a male case manager. Someone who might understand him better. Chad shared that he still wanted to earn his GED. This was a goal he had set up when he moved into Lindquist Apartments more than a year ago. Chad's anxiety and insecurities were a barrier to accomplishing this and other goals. Within three months of re-evaluating his goals with Cameron, Chad had earned his GED. He scored within the 95th percentile on three of the six exams. He had the highest math score the testing facility had ever seen! Chad has renewed confidence after doing so well on his tests. He is now focused on "what's next". He wants to continue his education by starting college next spring. Hennepin County is a sponsoring agency of Lindquist Apartments.
