I served as a Juvenile Court Magistrate for a good decade. In my time overseeing Juvenile Court Cases, my paths crossed with many young girls, disillusioned and jaded by their socio-economic circumstances. I identified with many of them as my parents also divorced when I was 16. Many a time, I used myself as an example to let them know their circumstances could never define them if they took every opportunity to invest in themselves to secure a good future.
