‘Every child deserves an education’ - Ciera Minor
Ciera Minor. Photo by Rod Pritchard, Coe College.
Throughout Ciera Minor’s young life, role reversals have been the rule rather than the exception.
Prior to entering into the foster care system, Minor was raised in an unstable household where both parents were addicted to drugs and alcohol and were rarely at home. A mere child herself, Minor became parent to her three younger siblings.
Because she was already functioning in that capacity, the young student also knew from an early age that she would one day be a teacher. “I have wanted to teach my entire life,” she said, “as far back as I can remember playing school with my sisters.”
