(VIDEO) Angel Carroll, 21, entered the foster care system when she was 15-years-old.
While most students spend four years attending one high school, Angel Carroll, who was in the foster care system, bounced around to a dozen different homes in just one year.
"My third year in high school I was still a freshman, so that just shows that I was never in one place long enough to get a credit," Angel said.
Now as a Red Raider, she's making the most of her education in hopes of one day making a difference in the lives of others like her.
