Hope's Journey: A Runaway Teen Challenge

Meet Hope. A girl who just loves country music, hamburgers, and the color violet. She's flirty, artistic, a green thumb, and a computer whiz... and a foster kid.

Hope was given up when she was a kid, long before she could remember, to the Foster Care system. And, unfortunately for her, was never adopted. She spent her life hopping around in the system between orphanages and foster care. Fed up, and wanting at least a place to call her own, Hope ran as far away as she could get on the bike she stole and what little food and money she was able to procure. By the time she stopped running, she was out of food, out of funds. What she did still have, miraculously, was her bike, clothes and a sleeping bag.

And this is where we meet Hope. Without a penny to her name, Hope finds a place to hide out in the woods, across from a camp grounds, where she hopes never to be discovered. Satisfied with "home", she takes a trip over to the scrap yard to see what she can salvage for a little money.

By the time she's finished scrapping through the junk yard, she feels grungy. She travels back home to take a shower and is amazed when she realizes just how late it has gotten. Obviously, it's been a bit longer then she had anticipated picking up some money at the scrap yard. As luck would have it, though, she's made a good $258. Who knew making money could be so simple?

Hungry, she tries her hand at fishing. However, she's unable to catch any thing, so she heads off to another park where she is sure she'll be able to harvest food to start a garden and get a small bite to eat. She'll have to do some research on fishing so she can fish near home.

By the time Hope has finished harvesting, she is exhausted. She considers sleeping on the ground right there in the park, but thinks better of it, she could be caught out here in the open, and quickly heads home. When her head hits the pillow, Hope is out like a light. She doesn't wake up again until the next morning. One of the first things Hope does in the morning is to plant 3 of the seeds procurred the night before, popping one in her mouth as she works. For fun, realizing she hasn't enough experience to be able to plant it any way, Hope makes a jack-o-lantern out of her pumpkin.

Technical Difficulties

My apologies, dear readers, for writing and dropping off the face of the planet. First, an illness made it difficult for me to do much of any thing. Wuh wuh wuh! Then I had some technical difficulties with Hope. Finally, she just aged too soon. So I decided to start over with  her and Taffy. I hope to have the new post up soon. My apologies for any inconveniences this may have caused. Stay tuned.

Hope's Journey

Food: Hamburgers
Color: Violet
Traits: Flirty, Artistic, Green Thumb, Computer Whiz

Location: Sunset Valley

Hope Foster is a runaway foster kid. She's been in the foster system for as long as she can remember. She has no memory of her parents and no real wish to get to know them. They left her, why would they care?

All her life, Hope has been passed from foster home to foster home with no real place to call home and nothing to call her own. She's used to looking out for herself. So, as soon as she's old enough, with nothing but the shirt on her back, she runs away to make a life for herself.

This is Hope's story, based off the Runaway Teen Challenge. This is my first challenge.

Simore Sims

Tsu tsu! My name is Rebecca and I've been a sims player for some years now. I've actually only ever been able to play the base games sims 1, sims 2, sims 3, but now I've purchased a whole package with all the stuff and expansion packs (for 3, not doing 4 right now), so I'm really excited to get more involved in the Sims community.

I'm no guru, but I'd like to do some challenges (fulfilling them if not creating them), maybe get some story lines going and see what happens from there. I'll  likely have a YouTube channel too, once I get a microphone, but I'm certainly going to get down to business with my blog. Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to having some fun times with all of you!
