"Through the tunnel"

Even though they don’t have to swim through a tunnel like Jerry in “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing, foster youth are initiated into of the foster care system. Like i was born into the system because my mom had a drug problem and still does have one so me and my sisters were born into the system. Then when I was nine months old my mom tried to kill me and my sisters but then my grandma got custody of us.But as we got older she did not want us anymore.
