S1E5: "You're Not Alone"

Luna had a rough start to her Elk Grove High School career.  She struggled to find motivation in school, but also dealt with her homosexuality in a household where it was looked upon as a "phase". Luna found it difficult to make friends who would be a positive influence on her but with the help from the Kenneth Young Center, Luna found the determination to turn her strength into motivation to succeed.  Since then, Luna has become a leader in both the soccer and cross country programs at EGHS, and she is looking to pursue a career in the criminal justice field.
