Meet this month's 43 North Iowa Spotlight: Tristan!
One thing Tristan is especially proud of is getting to go home for the weekend! He enjoys getting out of his room and spending time in the community, which helps him feel happy and confident. 😊
Tristan describes himself as kind, respectful and always willing to lend a helping hand to others.
When it comes to his favorites, Tristan enjoys watching Stranger Things, and looking to his higher power for inspiration, whether that’s God, aliens, or whatever you believe in! 👽
Tristan describes 43 North Iowa as a place for rehabilitation and working on yourself even when things get hard, because “it’s always a learning process” his advice to others is to not worry about what other people think, remember that your emotions are your own, and never be afraid to ask for help.
One quote from Stranger Things that speaks to his journey is, “nothing is gonna go back to the way it was. Not really. But it’ll get better in time.”
We’re proud to shine a Spotlight on Tristan, who reminds us that growth takes time, every journey is different, and there is always room to keep learning and moving forward.
